Other items I picked up from Japan online auctions

Super you'll soon be hearing of my foray into the Alice in Wonderland experience of the Japanese auction scene. As you know I went seeking some more of the old Takara PlaRail engines, well not only did i find some more, but managed to win most of them too!

Of course the pain of the shipping and (probably) customs is still to come, but at the prices I won them at I think I can accept that. For example today one of my wins was a job lot of 14 x Takara trains, 13 of them 3 car sets, 1 a 6 car set from what I could see in the photo for the princely sum of 3200 yen (+ fees of course).

You'll be suprised how wide the Takara range has turned out to be, of course there are plenty of different bullet trains, but there are also quite a few suburban types, some goods trains (several EF's are in my coming wins) and even a few steam loco's. Exciting times!!!
