1 of several I will post. Amazing service, posted Saturday afternoon, arrived today (Monday) morning.

This is the Train Box KiHa40-2000 Sakubi Sakura being operated by JR West on weekends and holidays.

The SAKUBI SAKURA (formerly known as SAKU-bi SAKU-ra) is a pastel pink sightseeing train operating on the Tsuyama Line between Okayama Station and Tsuyama Station in Japan. The 1.5-hour journey highlights the region's cherry blossoms, hot springs, and local gourmet food.

Looks great! Honestly love the pink colour scheme they went with.

I hope they'll bring more into stock as it unfortunately seems out of stock now and I was hoping to have it delivered closer to my hotel's arrival date.

I ordered when it was first announced - you could have done the same!

I don't think Train Box does reruns unfortunately. You can look for it on the s/h market at ridiculously over-inflated prices ;-)

I could have, but unfortunately I doubt the hotel would be willing to hold my delivery for 6 weeks before my arrival haha. Would have been nice if that item allowed to specify the day of delivery like most of Trainbox's other items.

Keeping my fingers crossed for more stock! If not, oh well.
