Inaka no Eki is the name of the station we are referring to.
Preceding station, Next station is on this signboard:

We did it, all the existing Inaka No Eki and their different names. You need to translate because documentation is localised in Japan.

[Super]

No documentation shows for me only a "Need Access" screen.

Well I'm not too familiar with normal plarail as I am with thomas and friends plarail, but just some that I can remember is the B20, and the Clear C62's.
Maybe someone can add more rare trains that have been released post 2000?

Sorry about that Super, I changed the permissions. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

B20 is "somewhat rare". Of course clear C-62 is ultra rare.
Some I can think about are:

1. 183 Series Hashidate: 2002, released only at the Museum of Transportation Science. Quite a forgotten piece of art, but it still has its own gem.



2. New in box Tobu 8000: Sold for 26000 yen before, there is one auction at low price currently but there will be snipers so lets see...



3. Unopened box Tobu Railway Special Set: Could easily cost around 35000 yen. It is a gem since the beginning of production until now. I heard that it is only released in specific Tobu stations.



4. New in box Single item Odakyu 2600 Flower Train: Said to be the rarest of all Odakyu 2600 Commuter Trains, this one went for 11000 yen before.



5. Gold Odakyu Romance Car 10000 Series: I'm not sure whether it is released after year 2000 but it is mentioned in the Phantom Gems of Plarail. It is made in Thailand.



6. Gold Asagiri: I'm not sure whether it is released after year 2000 but it is mentioned in the Phantom Gems of Plarail. It is made in Thailand.

Thanks Vio, are there possibly anymore?

There are still quite a lot.

7. Umekoji Plakids and the stickers sheet of the Sound C62 Duplex Set: 2003. Not a train. These 2 went as a bundle for 230000 yen before. Literally the only Plakids that hit 6 digits in the yen.



8. New in box Nagoya Railway Set: Went for around 30000 yen before. The highlight is the Mo 510 (old paint specification) which is only found in this set.

Nice. I quite like the 103 series commuter trains and whenever I look at the prices for these they're always quite expensive for the single train, but when the various 3 packs are for sale new they are always very expensive. Are the 103 series trains somewhat rare?

It depends on which 103 Series. I believe the blue 103 series (Keihin Tohoku Special Set) are the hardest ones to collect because they are rare and blue is highly overrated. All 3 train formations are rare and exclusive to this set. The bid wars are always tough on used and new 103 Series.

 

There are many 103 Series found here, this is the link of all the 3 formations set. http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~akeda/DOLL/set11.htm

583 Series: Newport Beach, California. Seems that it is an overseas product. Ranging from 23000 yen to 31000 yen.
