Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

[Super]

Wow....I always wondered why Plarail didn't re-release some of its rarer/popular trains (much to the disappointments of collectors). This, red, 2100 was one of those that one had to spend a bit more of to purchase. I suppose this will drive down the price of the original now. For the life of me I can't remember why or when it was first released. Limited Edition maybe but at least this new version has the updated AA motor chassis which gets rid of the big shell side clips of the original C battery type. So there is only one new coupler on the rear faux engine, retractable but not completely like some of the Shinkansens. It is a pretty model model though. I can't find what the original packaging looked like...was this an individual release or maybe part of a Three Pack where one of the three are always limited and hard to find.

Plarail is taking requests for re-makes???

The model is the 2100 type 2-door all-cross seat that appeared in 1998. It was sold out because it was a particularly popular product among Keikyu original Plarail, but we have received many requests for resale from customers, so we will change the specifications and release it newly. This is the first Keikyu original Plarail with a dedicated connection specification, and the tail car has a dedicated connection gimmick, so you can play by connecting Keikyu vehicles (dedicated connection vehicles). ・ A dedicated connection gimmick is installed on the tail vehicle, and Keikyu vehicles (dedicated connection vehicles) can be connected to each other. ・ Can be connected / disconnected in 3-car trains ・ You can play by rolling by hand at 1 speed and switch off. ・ Uses 1 AA battery (sold separately) -Rail is sold separately.
