KEIHAN 10000 SERIES THOMAS & PERCY WRAPPING TRAINS
 
The Keihan 10000 series (京阪10000系, Keihan 10000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Keihan Electric Railway in Kyoto, Japan, since 2002, manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Since 2007, the 10000 series sets are primarily used on Keihan Katano Line driver-only operation services.
 
The train itself is actually a normal passenger train that goes along the line so regular passengers, not only fans of Thomas, would ride it as well. What makes it special is that the train is heavily decorated with Thomas & Friends characters inside and out! You could also hear voices of the characters played as announcement inside the train. Many Keihan trains are decorated with Thomas & Friends characters. After Thomas wrapping train appeared, Keihan Railways actually asked their passengers wich character they want to see on the next wrapping train, and they voted for Percy!
 
In Takara Tomy Plarail range there are many Keihan wrapping trains. These Keihan 10000 Thomas & Percy are completely wrapped trains, but the wrapping is really nice. Stable driving is enabled with the older type one speed Tomy motor.




































The video is this time in two parts:





Just a few remarks for my regular viewers: 

This time I didn't forget my slippers next to the railway line, as I often do.

No animals have been harmed or died while making this video, although it seems one penguin suffered a heart attack at 4:25 of the first video.

And yes, Super, Percy is hauling a tank car full of real butter for the popcorn!
