Out of This World!! :D - Nigels - 11-04-2016
I just received my latest (and last for a while - probably) package for a while, well with the exception of the Advance station which is en-route.
But what a package, coming in at 15kg it cost a pretty penny to ship and get through customs, yet is still worth it. The majority of stuff is Capsule goodies, PlaRail (i.e. shinkansens etc), PlaRail Thomas, Galaxy 999, Pokemon, and some Epoch (electrically powered shinkansens etc). I've not even had an attempt to count what is there yet, but there are literally hundreds of loco's and other rolling stock not to mention a plethora of scenery pieces and track
What I'm going to do rather than post pics here is to post some 'collection' threads in the appropriate section once I've had a chance to sort through what is here, but its impressive to say the least.
There was also one job lot of real size PlaRail which I bought primarily because it had a silver motor or trailing car Nankai Rapi:t included. Turns out it was a motor car, but that's no big deal I can switch the coupling and have a motor car at both ends. The big surprise is there is another motor car and middle car in silver, probably a Falcon but need to look at it a bit more closely to confirm. There are also some interesting and unusual loco's and coaches in that bag, I may well post some pics of those here over the weekend as I may need some assistance in identifying them all

Awesome. Cannot wait to see what you have. It is always so exciting to get these and go through them. Something this large will surely take some time though.

Museum worthy stuff there. If you had exhibition, I'd pay to see it.

There's more to come yet, I'm still working through it all lol!
RE: Out of This World!! :D - Nigels - 11-08-2016
Latest batch of pics just uploaded, including some variants of the various Thomas loco's, still more to come lol!!

Holy Cow...you have a lot of Capsules. How many of those critters did they release? Those are going to look great running around your layout.....wait.....you don't have a layout.

I have plans to build a layout for the capsule trains, after all its much smaller than PlaRail - sort of almost an 'N Gauge' PlaRail I suppose. But first I'm still sorting through it all, not even really started on the standard capsule PlaRail yet (shinkansens etc...) then I got the Galaxy 999 ones, more Chuggington, and of course the Epoch capsule trains - those are really interesting as they run on the same gauge tracks, but have electrically powered cars rather than wind-up, also some neat scenery pieces including some with sound chips and motion detectors
As to how many items have been released, god knows but there are lots, loads I know I don't have among these ones I've got and there are plenty here! Still its a great way of getting an instant collection
Oh, I nearly forgot, there was talk of why Diesel was unpowered, well while sorting through the Thomas stuff I've come across non-powered versions of quite a few of the loco's - some of which I've uploaded pics of to illustrate this. I think the reason for this is that there are some PlaRail wagons that are electrically powered, similar to the Epoch ones so those could move the Thomas trains around. These wagons take those sort of half size AAA batteries, theres a few illustrated in the wagon thread including a pic of one with the cover off...
