Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

[Super]

I am really interested in what the Steamer is pulling especially if its a Tank engine as that middle car wouldn't need to be a tender. From the angle in the picture the 2 trailing cars look to be completely new. I like the looks of the dual headlights on the engine but what disturbs me now, until I see more pictures, is the length of the engines nose from the wheels and the height of the buffer beam. If those are anything like the last steamer released, the 7100 form 7105 Unit Yoshitsune, then I will be disappointed so lets hope it doesn't come out like that one. Although, if it does, and, if the trailing cars are unique, the set may be worth buying just for them.

This is a problem I have always had with Plarail...they are constantly re-using their model numbers and it is so confusing. The original number S-51 belongs to the 8620 Steamer. They even do this with scenic and track items. Whats so hard in using a different number?

JR Hokkaido runs an excursion train headed by C11-207, which features the unusual dual headlight arrangement seen on this Plarail engine.

Way to go, Great call OTR and great detective work. you may have got it... and your C-11 looks to also have dual rear lights...how about that...






Might that middle unit be a Conductor/Guard Car like this HO Series release of the C-11-207 has??? Would surely be a one of a kind if it is. http://www.rokuhan.com/news/2017/06/c11-207-8000-2.html
