Vintage Tomy Takara? Anyone know what this is? - ripley802 - 01-03-2016
Anyone know what this one is? I won this for $5.50 recently. But was not sure what it was exactly.

I have not received it yet and the auction only had the one. I will update once I get it.

It seems to be GeoTrax sized. The wheels have extensively large flanges.

i dont think its powered. the front looks too short for that. might be a choro-q, or tomica diecast? with the image of the finger on the front of the box, it may even be a pull back or push n go style

Dang.. Ok. I will let you all know when I get it. I was hoping it would be powered, but thought maybe it wasn't. Thanks.

Looks like some knock off that stole the brand name (I'm not sure).

Seems to be something unique. Takara didn't merge with Tomy until 2006, so this might be Takara's own train system that must work differently to Tomy's Plarail system.

I've got a whole bunch of the original Takara trains, track and accessories from before their merger with Tomy. They are pretty well detailed, but the locomotives are quite a bit smaller (mainly shorter) with a slightly reduced wheel gauge. They will not run on Blue Tracks as they have this reduced gauge. Otherwise they look very similar to Tomy/Takara Plarail models. If you're wondering I picked up a job lot of brand new items around the early part of 2015 which is when I stumbled across this forum and the whole Tomy world lol!!
Here's an example of one of the sets I got in the job lot (the only Takara offering I could find on eBay at the moment);
