Didn't know...

[Super]

I didn't know there was two different releases of this type Plarail Tram..

The silver one looks good. Nagasaki Electric Tramway 3000 system

I thought the whitish one was the only release Hiroshima Electric Railway 5100 form Green mover max

What the Flip Face are these? These have to be the strangest Plarail trains I've ever seen. Are the front and rear cars removable by any chance?

No. I have one at home. They are extremly fragile. Hence only 2 of them were every made. The car in each end has only one set of wheels (in case anybody is curious). Good for older kids not so much for the children.

Thanks for the firsthand info Leyland. I thought Ucwepn had one in a video but I can't seem to find it.

Always assumed that the listing of the Nagasaki Electric Tramway Type 3000 was the white one but on closer inspection its the silver one. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10168443

Yes they are trams/trolley cars. The coupling between compartments break very easily and are broken on both of mine (poor design). I do have a video it's the first plarail one I ever did.

Thanks Ucwepn

Valuable information for those interested in purchasing one of these.

Ahhh, the old Pool Table Layout in the shed......memories

if you have an extra set, you can literally extend the train. I tried to couple 2 ends together without the middle carriage. The hooks don't extend long enough for me to pull it off.

But isn't the middle carriage where the power comes from? What would connecting the ends do?

correct the middle carriage is where the battery compartment located.  the middle carriage has a male and a female coupler.  each end also have either a male or female coupler but they are imbedded inside not expose.  Hence they can't be connected together without the middle carriage.

Could you join two middle carriages together between the ends to give it a speed boost?!?
