Do you mean something that looks something like this? ;) The reason why this hasn't been released publicly yet is that I am yet to find a suitable bogie chassis that can be used under it as a trailing vehicle. At the moment both halves of the 101 require a Kato 105, which means they're both powered and is a little overkill in terms of traction effort. Not only that, by using motorised chassis it futher increases the end user's costs. At the moment this centre car will fit on the 105 chassis like the two driving coaches, and as mentioned above I think it would be rather excessive having 3 motorised chassis on a single unit hence having not yet been released publically. Now if user's were happy having 3 Kato 105 chassis under one unit, then I'm sure there wouldn't be any reason I couldn't release this coach. The other option would be to use a peco N gauge chassis like the Peco NR-122, however there would have to be a compromise as this is a rigid axle / 4 wheeler chassis and not a bogie chassis. For those who may be interested in reducing the power output on the unit I have removed the motor and worm from one of the 105s which has left me with a free wheeling chassis. - I have photos and can explain how this is done for those who would like to know.
