A list of all non-japanese Plarail rolling stock - JustTylerHere - 12-12-2023 This is something that I felt could be quite interesting. This thread intends to list every piece of Plarail rolling stock that is based on a locomotive outside of Japan. If there are any items that I missed, please let me know. I'd be happy to add them. Locomotives are listed by country of origin. Edit 1: Included some missing information found by members of this forum. Edit 2: Added Trains from China, Thailand and Hong Kong. Edit 3: Added the GM Aerotrain. NOT INCLUDED: Any thomas characters Taiwanese locomotives, those can be found in this thread: https://www.blueplastictracks.org/thread-5143.html France

With kind regards, Tyler RE: A list of all non-japanese Plarail rolling stock - Super - 12-12-2023 Not sure this meets your criteria but it was only released as a US Exclusive ![]() RE: A list of all non-japanese Plarail rolling stock - JustTylerHere - 12-12-2023 Looks to be more of a generic American steam train design rather than having a proper basis. Who knows, maybe it is and I just don't know...

The basis for this and other similar old Plarail puffers is the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) 7100 series, Benkei and Yoshitsune included. They were built by H.K. Porter of Pittsburgh USA. My thread covering Taiwanese releases needs updating, there's been another Metro train released since I wrote it, possibly others, I need to check. You need to look at Thailand, Hong Kong and the Republic of China for other examples of Plarails based on non-Japanese trains. I'll leave that to you. The so-called Virgin Train (the diesel-powered Intercity 125) is curious in that it's just a repaint of a Japanese train (the overhead electric-powered Kintetsu 21000 Urban Liner), and bears almost no resemblance to the real thing, apart from its colour and logo. ![]() The Tomica World silver TGV was also released in its own box, 7561, as well as part of the set that you've shown, and it is NOT the same mould as the orange one. ![]() If you want any help, PM me. Always willing to encourage a fellow researcher. RE: A list of all non-japanese Plarail rolling stock - JustTylerHere - 12-12-2023 Hello Chris, Thank you for the help! I'll be sure to update my post with this info. I personally haven't seen any Plarail locomotives based on Hong Kong/Chinese designs, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could show me where I could find out more about those. ![]() RE: A list of all non-japanese Plarail rolling stock - Viktor - 12-12-2023 Amazing thread. Keep it up! RE: A list of all non-japanese Plarail rolling stock - leylandvictory2 - 12-12-2023 [/url]i believe taiwan has a couple of sets. one features its bullet train system, one featuers the subway system with 2 set of train with different colour on ebay, i found a bunch of listing for plarail taiwan trains.

Hi Leyland 😃 RE: A list of all non-japanese Plarail rolling stock - JustTylerHere - 12-13-2023 It's funny you say you haven't seen the vibrant express before, since chrisjo sent me this thread https://www.blueplastictracks.org/thread-5105.html of you talking about the set to help with research. ![]() Also, the design reminded me more of the FASTECH 360, which was an experimental shinkansen which later became the basis for the E5. ![]() With kind regards, Tyler RE: A list of all non-japanese Plarail rolling stock - Super - 12-13-2023 LOL...I can be such a Dolt sometimes or...is it just that I am old or senile or both ![]() |
