Today from Japan

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

[Super]

For those interested, here is a video of what looks to be the 2013 Tomy Plarail Exhibition at a Mall in Japan. Very nice, large, displays and a great way to get the kids and parents hooked on these trains. And of course a Tomy/Plarail store where my Credit Card would get a workout for sure. I love the looks on the children's faces as they admire the trains. At about the 16:50 minute mark you will see the fishing for train game we are talking about followed by more kids games where the kids can win engines or rolling stock. I also learned a bit more about the Plarail Capsules and didn't know they came out of vending machines as you will see.

Boy I wish they had exhibitions like these in the States...

[Super]

I like the pizza Plakid, it is pizza right? I was really surprised as to how much some of those Plakids sell for in Japan especially these different kind ones that have accessory items like carts or stretchers. Wish I knew you were looking for the red gantry's, I have sold all of ours in the last few months on Ebay.

dont blame you for buying duplicates. i do too for my favourite pieces of HO scale.

do you have photos of your collection show cased anywhere, in one spot?

ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

go to weebly.com, which is the site i use. its free, though they have a paid option available which allows videos to be uploaded. i just have the free one and it works ok. i felt the benefits didnt match the expense of paying. you can also buy a domain name, or stick with their one, which puts .weebly.com on the end [ie, gerisplarail.weebly.com]
you choose a design you like, theres hundreds to choose from, either sidebar menu like mine or along the top. i find the top one doesnt have much room for pages without having them as drop downs.
from there, you just drag the elements you want from the bar on the side... photos, either single or gallery, paragraphs and titles. those are the 3 i use most. then theres others like a search bar [a little more confusing as you have to go through google, but if you take the time to read and understand its a piece of cake] buttons which you can hyperlink to other pages [ive done a few and found it time consuming, especially when i changed page orders]
adding pages is a cinch, and when they are pretty much all the same like mine, setting up a new one only takes a few minutes. you can then either hide it from view until ready to use, or start placing photos. you can also drag and reorder the pages. by default, a new page appears at the bottom. just click and drag to place it where you want.

if you need any help, let me know. happy to walk you through.
