Well there's a demonstration of how to ruin a train by using a succession of the wrong sized screwdrivers. Looks like an interesting engine, but unfortunately made out of nasty cheap shiny plastic.

Could be Dr Chris. Wonder if there will be a full review video soon showing this feature on YouTube?

My friend EqualSeaso told me about these exports of Plarail. Well, for me it's looks the engines seems to have new original moulds and they can run on TOMY/Trackmaster track. Some of these engines has features like lights, smoke & sounds. (take note the soundchip is not the generic steam train sounds heard in many knock-offs)
This is very impressive compared to other china exports where they are very ugly and low quality like Southward Toys or Dumica.
Here are some photos of this series of train sets.
And here's a comparison of scale with a normal TOMY Thomas.

Is that Thomas a knockoff?
Nevermind
RE: Takara TOMY Plarail knockoffs (Thomas and non-Thomas related) - MrKirby48 - 01-20-2025
Nope, it's just a TOMY Thomas with a broken iron lamp.
RE: Takara TOMY Plarail knockoffs (Thomas and non-Thomas related) - Destination Realization - 01-20-2025
lol, the switch is making me think it’s a knockoff

We are so used with the white levers from Trackmaster haha.
"Super Train Robot" has "Robot" in the name but so far we haven't see a transformable train, right?
They did their very own Shinkalion-like series!
