Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

[Super]

To further our earlier discussion, from Mr-No (go back two pages) on the new Odakyu 5000 series Plarail with light, here is a video showing the model and its first ever LED headlights. The LED does seem to be much brighter especially at the point of looking at it from the bare chassis inside which you can see the blue Daylight temperature of the light. Something that I have been disappointed in Plarail for on their lighted factory models still occurs with this release. The fact that I have to modify the engine body so the light does not shine on the track below and under the chassis seems like it could easily be remedied in the original design to give headlights a beam that shoots forward and not under like they normally are. But I digress...at least they are trying and added a new feature like LED lights is a good step in the right direction. Hmmm...I don't think I have ever seen 1.5volt LED's before....3.0 yes but not 1.5.
