As requested, the picture of the redesigned Plarail Gordon from Twitter! Took a bit to find, but I found it for us to marvel(or gawk) at!

Does look like a new type of side rods. Anxious to get a better look. Thanks Hank

Like I said in my last post, it's actually the Talking Gordon due next month as you can see part of its listed number, OT-05 instead of TS-04. I imagine they will look identical though.

It looks like it came from the leaflet in the most recent Capsule Plarail series. He looks really grand and that coach looks like one colour. A red special private coach perhaps?

Except for maybe those side rods...I hope. Wonder that if in fact they are redesigned side rods how they will look turning down the rails. Thanks for the info Jdog.

I went back to the online store to see the updated info for The Thomas the Tank Engine Folded Up Thomas Institution Box, and reading the translated description, it hit me that this is a Tidmouth Sheds.

Ooh. Tidmouth Sheds sounds awesome. Although it did say sepearately sold turntable. Sad


RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Ucwepn - 02-03-2015

it comes with a fan shaped track piece which I am guessing is a single track to quad track points, and then if you so desire a turntable is addable.


RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - ROCKINATOR - 02-05-2015

any news on 70th anniversary stuff? Or is plarail doing a good job at covering it up till the last minute?


RE: Plarail Thomas NEW RELEASES - jdogman - 02-05-2015

I assumed that the Thomas Institution Box of Tidmouth Sheds would be a 70th Anniversary item, and it sounds rather fittingly appropriate.

There's also a six car set featuring Thomas, Percy, and Edward, which I wouldn't be too surprised if it was for the 70th as well.

Thanks Jdogman

Something is lost in the translation I think. Are they meaning that the 3 trains will not have any rolling stock and they count the engine and tender as the two and a total of six pieces. And what does the second sentence mean, are they or are they not motorized? And do they have sound?
