New Red Crossliner R/C Train 👍 - Super - 11-15-2023

Thumbs up for the newly released Plarail R/C Train Red Crossliner

Love how the chassis, which is in the exact same footprint as the last two version of Plarail Motor/Chassis, so they are easily swapped out with many of the Plarail released trains in the past few years. The controller is very small in my gorilla hand (not a complaint) which would make it perfect for a child. No complaints or issues with this release. I could only hope that they would release just the Motor/Chassis by itself so other trains can become R/C's but I am not holding my breath for that. No sound but I think that is why the Motor/Chassis has the exact footprint as a non-R/C chassis. Maybe in the future, Plarail could add sound to the controller, (like Trackmaster) which could become a little bigger with electronic board and speaker without affecting the size of the train. Not a deal breaker for me as this new release meets all my needs.

I suspect it could be anything from the Takara Tomy brand. The lottery is not restricted to buyers of Plarail specifically. I don't think we'll be missing out too badly!

On the back of the Hayabusa and Cross Liner boxes there's a link to a pdf that lists all the Plarail trains that are compatible with the Grip Mascon (= Master Controller) chassis and hand-set. Note in particular that it's compatible with the Real Class trains:

Thank you Dr Chris, that is a nice list provided by Tomy now if they would only sell just the chassis because one controller can operate two trains.
