A friend of mine would like to know what train this is, and on what line it drives, and if there is a model out. Hope y'all can help. Thanks.

Found it. It's a Niigata Engineering NT-3000 on the Kinkawa Railroad (Japanese Wikipedia page). The green car is #NT-3003. It,s a nature based wrap.

I don't see any models offered in N scale.  

 

Google images.

It starts with knowing which builder built the train.  Then Wikipedia (Japanese or English) points me in the right direction.  Then I search Google images until I find something that matches.  Next is links or videos that confirm.

It'd be awesome if Tomytec would choose this generation of Niigata NDC models for a Railway Collection series. There are dozens of variants around and it definitely would sell. Most of them sport interesting liveries and/or run on relatively popular and/or famous lines, as well as Tomytec already has done different models of a few of these companies.
