I am selling an eight car vintage set of the Kato 181 Series EMU express in tan and red livery with silver roof and mushroom ventilators.  

The eight cars are made up of two headers of the bull nose design with warbonnet striping.  The six commuter cars (two with metal pantographs, one with motor unit) are all fitted with mushroom ventilators and Arnold couplers.

Please note that none of these cars are fitted with internal lights, and the headers do not have head or tail lights.

The motor unit has been cleaned with Inox3 and tested under various power settings on a full consist without any issues.  There is no damage or missing parts.

The set will be supplied in a spare Kato green storage case, and taking all into consideration, I rate the set as C7 'Excellent'.


Standard postage is $20.00 Australia wide with tracking number provided.  Combined postage is available, as is local pickup from West Brunswick Victoria.

If you wish to combine items, please request an invoice so I can calculate the total postage payable.


As this is a powered set, returns are accepted if received dead on arrival with the buyer to contact me within seven days of the confirmed delivery date.
