The front hook can also be used by children to connect several Push Along engines and pull them. But they are also practical to attach to a Motorized engine, otherwise the videos would be pretty static! : D

But there are some Push Alongs that doesn't have a front hook, Kana being one of them:

The others are Kenji, Farona & Frederico and Riff & Jiff. What to do when an engine does not have front hook? One youtuber puts Plarail motorized wagons behind such Push Alongs, it looks quite good. But it can't be used on a layout with TM steep slopes, of course.

That idea sounds like a modification in reverse might work. Where most modifications were Trackmaster II drive wheels are replaced with original Trackmaster/Plarail drive wheels...it may work replacing the motorized wagons wheels with Trackmaster II's.

Oh, my! Customizing Plarail to Trackmaster! Although it sounds a bit "sacrilegious", it could really be a good idea to motorize Push Alongs! Big Grin

Love the outdoor videos Mr No.

I must say that this coach with passengers sure looks a lot better than the Trackmaster II's with just stickers.

RE: Mister No's Plarail Pics & Vids - Mister No - 04-01-2022

I believe they had this type of coach earlier with the TM2 Knapford Station Push Along set. It is a special car: if you press the roof of the car, the scene will change, and instead of the passengers, the car will transport letters and packages! (picture 8) Smile

When I saw that this was called "Super Loop" I thought this was the set that did the loop-dee-loop

RE: Mister No's Plarail Pics & Vids - Mister No - 04-03-2022

There are a few loops in AEG world nowadays, obviously... Big Grin

There is this one (the "Super Loop"), then there is the Cannonball Curve, which is also some sort of loop, isn't it? And it's merchandised as the "Race For the Sodor Cup Push Along Set". Finally, there will be also the ultimate loop ("Loop-de-loop") when Launch and Loop Maintenance Yard set Set is going to be released (in August, as I recall)... This is not the one, I'm sorry! Angel

I had real fun with this Diesel "Super Loop" today making this video. It showed some interesting features, such as that the Y-switch does not always have to be turned by hand, sometimes it is enough to change it by the rumble of the train, which can be seen in the video. Big Grin
