minicoopers11 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Almost looks the draft paint scheme for California High Speed Rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudcatsfan Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 very attractive set. Great color scheme. Also like that it doesn't have 2 front ends to it like the previous white one. This one, you could purchase 2 sets and have an impressive train with 4 passenger cars. With the last one you end up with a bunch of extra false engines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree it's nice to have 2 passenger cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yes, and for the freight train it is awesome to see 16 straights in the base set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richiej1979 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Looking forward to finding out the cost, I think the last one was released in 2014 so by my reckoning this end up being around £160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacsniper Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Interesting... the new set provides 2 cars of cabins instead of 2 ends. Does anyone know which train this is based on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyweasel Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) The middle one has coffee cup dining car stickers between windows and the rear one has passenger seat stickers, so I guess we can expect their cabin configuration to be different. Won't just be "2x" in the instruction booklet. Edited May 16, 2018 by hockeyweasel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remembered reading the new sets were being priced roughly $20-30 over the RRP of the current ones, respectively. 60051 was $149.99USD and 60052 was $199.99USD, so we might expect 60197 to be $169.99USD and 60198 to be $229.99USD? Just an estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 130 and 190 euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Half a train like Horizon Express. I hope the RRP is high so that it doesn't affect 60051 too much as I was stupid enough to buy a couple at £65 each. I know wonder if there'll be a new station and how hoarded it will be.

You as a Brit should be happy, the new station is Kings Cross station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Here´s a review of the new PF 2.0 parts for all the train guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 After watching these reviews, I am seriously considering stocking up on old PF as people will prefer them for less batteries, more power and the polarity switch. Plus you can connect more than 2 devices. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
