Two new EuroExpress; additional packages

On 23th December 2006, I.MAGiC announced they would release two new EuroExpress packages; Thalys PBKA and DB Station, on next January.

As you know well, "Thalys PBKA" is one of TGV variations running between Paris, Brussels, Koln and Amsterdam. VRM Thalys includes 10 models; M1, M2(locomotive) and R1-8(coaches). The price is 2,800yen(about 18 euro/28 CHF). You can see the some screenshots here.

"DB Station" includes several structures based on typical stations of Deutshe Bahn. You can see what kinds of structure will be include in the package here because they are written in English on I.MAGiC's web content. The price is 2,000yen (about 13 euro/21 CHF).

Unfortunately, there is still no way to get them for European BSP users.

At I.MAGiC VRM news vol.70, I.MAGiC announced that they would release European structures and TGV Thalys as EuroExpress series in the near future. The translation of the sentence is as follows.

The plans of additional packages

We intend to release some additional VRM4 packages as soon as VRM4 5th package is released. We plan EF81-95 colored "rainbow", EF81-81 for "Hokutosei", Oshi-24 restaurant car with gold belts, and new TOMIX parts. Besides, at the same time, we will release long-awaited European structures(it is included in the international version 1st. package) and Thalys(it is included in the international version 7th package).

Now, we get suspicious.

What does the words; the international version, mean, for I.MAGiC?

Bahnsim PRO? No! We already know bhv has no intention for releasing additional packages.

Well, what does it mean? We don't know what name is it, who sells it nor where we can get it. However, I.MAGiC says they already set their Thalys in the 7th(!?) package.

I will report the detail when something new becomes clear. If you know even a little anything about it, please leave your comment below.
