Mister No's Pics & Vids

The Enoden Tram

Here is my new Enoden Tram. It's beautiful, made in Thailand in 1997, has motor in the front car, but carries his big "C" size battery in the trailer, and rings all the way:



This little beauty is sometimes referred to as Enoden Type 300 and there is even a variant of this Plarail train with the number 303 (and: EER) printed in white, but this one does not have any car numbers or inscriptions except the destination board. 

I don't think it's really Enoden Type 300 because this is Enoden 300:



Here is Wikimedia Commons picture of Enoden 300:

 


Could it be that there never was a real Enoden Tram/Train looking like this Plarail Enoden Tram, but Tomy just took the mold of their tram (there are Plarail trams such as this in different colors), produced another Plarail-tram, and painted it in Enoden colors? 

As you can see from the pictures, like some other Plarail-trams it doesn't have a pantograph, but a (indication of) bow collector instead (well, two of them, one on each car):



The box is also interesting. No part of the box is see-through, and as an illustration they used a picture of (real) Enoden car No 303. If there really was an Enoden like this one, why not illustrate the box with the picture of the original? Here we have two pictures on the box - one of Enoden Type 300 and the other of this Plarail Tram:
