I come back from a trip to Japan and bring all this home with me!

Plarail items bought from the Plarail Store in Tokyo Station:
Tomica items:
Capsule Plarail:
Other items of interest:
These are my first proper Plarail items ever. Unfortunately, I couldn't go too overboard or else I'd have no space, but I really did want a turntable, and I thought the engines I chose both had unique qualities that made them worth buying. I'd like to make another layout at the end of the year featuring this and some stuff I found earlier in the year. For the Capsule Plarail, it would've been nice to have had some different choices, as the Gachapon machines contained variants like Black James, a Railway Series style Thomas, and Narrow Gauge Coaches, but what I ended up with was decent enough. I See Thomas! was a book I was looking forward to finding for quite sometime, but there were also some other books I saw which blew me away, such as an Encyclopedia containing info on every character (including Phillip!) and an episode guide as well with lovely images, and another which covered almost everything that was released in Japan for the 70th anniversary.
