That's much easier on the wallet than $500.00. Thanks Nightcrawler. I send them an e-mail requesting whether or not they had any sets remaining. [8D]

The Shikensen 1000 was already produced by many model makers.
I recall that Model Power put out a bullet some years ago. Bachmann
produced the Acela a few years ago , so a newer bullet would be welcome.

i saw in some pictures from a show earlier that bachmann (i think) was going to be producing an HO scale model of a japanese bullet train. does anyone have any information on this? i would really like to get one but i am wondering if and when they will be available in the US
