TS-24 Thomas and Color-Matching Freight Car.

TS-14 Plarail James and the Honeybee Race

Can I assume all the passengers carriages on the JR Kyushu N700S Shinkansen Kamome can open and load passengers?

As for James, i sorta like it.  i can use a grey sharpie to get rid of the red nose and make it like an ordinary James.

Apples and bananas are printed on the trucks, but I guess the customers have to apply the Thomas stickers themselves... Probably also the ones on the "cargo".

Thank you for the Heads Up Dr Chris

Here is a curious question when looking at that new TS-24 Thomas...after watching Muddys sticker video....I wonder if the Plarail 3-Piece trains separately sold will have the stickers already applied where as the Thomas's that comes in sets are not? And...
I like the new wagons but why go to the trouble of creating those silly billboards and not bringing back the original apple cargo pieces? (image below)And creating and all new one with Bananas?

Another Odakyu Romance Car VSE ??? Wonder why? Isn't this the 3rd one at least?

Those billboards as cargo (?) were looking strange to me when I first got them with Gina's wagons. They don't look good when they're in the wagons, they are too loose. These apple cargo pieces would be the most appropriate, and the train would look good. And if Thomas had prints instead of stickers, the train would look great!

Yes indeed, why that Odakyu again? Why not this Odakyu 2600 Series Flower Train? 😏

This one's got the extra graphics on the middle car, "Special Thanks & Forever" artwork & message.

In that case, I am guessing it must be a collaboration release

While it's nice to see they're bringing back James Goes Buzz Buzz for Plarail, it saddens me that they're going to discontinue Ryan in favor of him, along with discontinuing Caitlin for another 3-pack with Thomas in it, meaning that once again, Connor will be in the line-up, but not Caitlin.

Who ever was put in charge of the Plarail line in 2020 is not very smart.

Replacing Rosie, Caitlin and Ryan with downgraded items is not a good move.

I suspect that Takara Tomy have a fair idea which items in their Thomas line-up are not selling.
