Why do you like these trains?

Reading the title, I thought it meant "why do you like these trains", as in Plarail in general (or any other toy train system), not Japanese trains.

i'm confused - blue plastic tracks is all japanese manufactured isn't it, I don't know, just assumed it

i can remember our boy getting his fine hair caught in a running engine as he lifted his hand to touch his head for some reason, we had to cut the train off but once the wheels got all tangled it stopped running so it wasn't anything horrible.

For £100 British Pound Notes you could probably buy one decent scale loco or maybe two of the cheapest shunters. For that same money it looks like you could very probably buy 4 to 5 Tomy/Plarail engines.
