Capsule Plarail on Power Trains Track? - brtrainz - 01-29-2020

Has anyone tried this? If so do they fit?
Mainly wondering about the original/1.0 track due to 2.0 lacking switches.

Was there supposed to be a picture Brt?


RE: Capsule Plarail on Power Trains Track? - brtrainz - 01-29-2020

No, there wasn't.

I have tried it before. But they don't work well. The wheelbase is a teensy bit too narrow.


RE: Capsule Plarail on Power Trains Track? - Super - 01-29-2020

The reason I asked is that I wasn't sure what you were talking about.


RE: Capsule Plarail on Power Trains Track? - brtrainz - 01-29-2020

Thanks Marc, that's disappointing. I'm guessing the raised guardrails on the switches were the problem?

Super here's a couple pictures of the product line I'm talking about (sorry if I've misunderstood what you were looking for).

There was another capsule maker that had more realistic looking track and which tended to specialise in more 'real world' versions of trains etc... That uses the same wheel base as the Tomy capsule trains so would be compatible. I've got a bunch here and I'm sure in the past I've posted pictures of it. I can check if you want to know more...

I haven't seen those before Brt, they must be pretty small if they fit Capsules.


RE: Capsule Plarail on Power Trains Track? - Nigels - 01-29-2020

The power trains are 'N' gauge (160:1) scale, I picked up one of those sets illustrated in Brt's post from Argos (a UK store) for £15 reduced from £50 in their clearance sale. Holding it for one of the grand kids for next chrimbo lol!

What is 'chrimbo' ???
