As always, Keimei-dono, I cannot heap enough praise upon your modeling brilliance! These latest EMUs look absolutely brilliant! I cannot wait to get my computer back from the shop & reinstall TRS'09 SP4 so that I may bask in their magnificence, as well as all of your other grand offerings from that most fascinating land of the rising sun. Well done, sir. Very well done indeed.
And now, if I may be so presumptuous as to put forward a request of my own, I wonder if you may deign worthy to consider breathing digital life into one of my personal favorites of Japanese steam: the legendary Class C51 4-6-2 Pacific.
I have always considered these to be among the most beautiful steam locomotives ever to grace Nippon metals, and the design does not look too dissimilar to your existing C55 models. Besides, you have mentioned in the past that you generally prefer to model less frequently seen classes of Japanese steam.
I pray that you will deign this humble request a place somewhere on your to-do list.
I also have a humble request of our other great master modeller of Japanese rolling stock, Hirochi-dono. I have recently been impressed by your fantastic replication of the famous Banetsu Monogatari trainset, and cannot wait to see these coached paired with Keimei-dono's C55s. Truly, sir, you have my highest respects.
And considering Keimei-dono's admitted disinterest in modeling sleeping car trainsets, I wonder if you would consider taking on the task of recreating Japan's finest luxury sleeping car service: the Cassiopeia.
Ideally, it would be grand if you were able to model this grand express inside & out, but of course I would not ask such a miracle, even of such a superlative master of the digital arts as yourself.
My final imposition upon both of you beneficent individuals is rather unusual, as it seems to have entered the realm of mere rumor and legend, at least on this side of the Pacific: the Orient Express '88.
I must admit, as grand as it would be to see this unique set of rolling stock recreated in TRS, I must confess that I would be satisfied to merely hear the story behind this train. I have found extremely little information regarding this train available on this side of the Pacific, and only a scattered few photograghs & Youtube videos to confirm its existence. If anyone could enlighten me as to the tale of how the world's most famous train gained a Japanese doppelganger, and what has become of it now, I would be happily satisfied. If one of our modeling masters were to consider taking on the project of recreating this train, I would be absolutely over the moon.
