Is this Plarail? - Super - 10-26-2016
I got a real good chuckle when reading the description of this train. Could it be the Google Transator subsituted or understood a normal word to be something else or is the original term for this type of train mean that? Also, is this a Plarail train? Hakone Tozan 107 system 103 system will ring a bell. Hakone Yumoto out of print

Yes it is Plarail, They are called "Dick" trains, and they get thier name from the name of the person who designed it..Dick somebody, or somebody Dick.
....pretty sure?
RE: Is this Plarail? - Super - 10-26-2016
I did know the type but wasn't sure if this was Plarail with that style panto-graph on the roof and the different type of wired coupling. I didn't know they had bells. Is the ringing constant? Has to be the worst combination for yellow wheels, they stand out like a sore thumb. Did you catch the funny translation?

Do they have bells and a permanent coupler?

Yep
RE: Is this Plarail? - Super - 10-27-2016
I couldn't hear any bells in the videos, do they have a switch to turn the bells off or are they continuous and annoying?
RE: Is this Plarail? - MuddyPoppins - 10-27-2016
Lol you can barely hear them dinging at some points in the video, but yes they are kind of annoying, and they are continuous with no off switch.

"Product operation confirmed. Very good condition for a used product. While moving, the bell will make a 'ding, ding' sound. Second hand, old product. I still have lots of other products. I will confirm that they operate before listing them. Please look out for them."
The Japanese word for 'ding, ding' happens to sound similar to the word for 'Dick'. The real Japanese pronunciation for 'ding, ding' is 'ching! ching!'
