Knockoff Shinkansen - Super - 12-12-2019
Here we have what looks to be another cheap, Knockoff train set featuring a Shinkansen Bullet Train.

The evidence suggests that the person who posted the video is in Pakistan; two of their other videos have 'Karachi' in their titles, and the third clearly has a muezzin reciting the adhaan over a loudspeaker from the nearest mosque on the soundtrack. I don't know if this is relevant to the origin of the toy or not.

It looks very much like the Knock Off sets that are frequently found on Ali Express. Hard to find since the Video poster did not say what the set was called.

the tracks are knockoff. the switches are in white colour rather than yellow colour.

You are right Leyland and the shininess also gives them away. Is it my eyes deceiving me or are the hook portion of the couplings facing up instead of down?

That tunnel leaves no room for error!

I didn't notice that Bob...you are right, a tight squeeze for sure.
