RE: 2 New Trains Coming - Nigels - 11-21-2017
Nice to see some new trains from Tomy, but neither are particularly earth shattering and seem to be just re-works of pre-existing models
RE: 2 New Trains Coming - Super - 11-21-2017
I didn't know there had been another tandem EH800 before but then I haven't seen everything.
RE: 2 New Trains Coming - bollard - 11-22-2017
great value
RE: 2 New Trains Coming - Off The Rails - 11-22-2017
Yeah, I think the EH800 is new because the locomotives themselves have only been in service 2-3 years.
When I saw it, I had this crazy idea of running it at the lead of a long container train through a long stretch of drain pipe to simulate the Seikan Tunnel!
(Yes, the drain pipe as Seikan Tunnel idea was totally ripped from Taskforce2008.)
RE: 2 New Trains Coming - Super - 11-22-2017
Plarail Mike also had a cool tube tunnel made from a PVC pipe I think. Starts at about the 0:32 minute mark.
RE: 2 New Trains Coming - Off The Rails - 11-22-2017
Thanks Super! It looks like Mike achieved some great looking results with relatively simple materials.

Sorry Super I may be confusing it with another red dual engine PlaRail (albeit a different loco type)
