Great Caboose Custom??? - Super - 08-09-2022

This mod could make a great caboose in the Trackmaster/Plarail World. Painted red would look cool on the rear of a Steamy. What do you all think?

I'll tell you what I don't think if you like. I don't think it's a caboose!

LOL...I know WHAT it is...I just thought it would make a better Caboose than any previous Plarail/Trackmaster attempt. 😆😃😁😎

Thank you the great images and Link 👍

Website describing small-scale mass-production of 3-D printed Plarail vehicles for sale by Petazo Railway Kingdom, "which builds huge Plarails in 100 places a year".

"First project. Using a 3D printer, I created the Plarail TMC500W "Dog Painting" ver at the Etchujima Rail Center.

The color of the car body uses colored resin and stickers, and it is designed so that painting is unnecessary except for details such as lights and bumpers, and parts can be fixed by fitting.

By designing so that beautiful color coding can be done without masking or spray painting, which requires skill in model painting, even people who have never worked before can complete it, and mass production and distribution can be done easily."

Wow...I love what they created with the motorized one. So much so that I would be willing to buy a couple of them if by "mass produced" this creator was selling them but since I am not on the twoter I can't find out. These look so close to size of real Shunters compared to other Plarail engines.

Thanks Dr Chris 😃👍

You don't need a Twitter account to view it (but you don't get the translate function). Just follow the link.
