Takara PlaRail (Pocket Trains) Information

Ok, well this isn't strictly speaking Takara PlaRail, but it is related/useful information. Today I received a package from Japan (a standard eBay auction this time) containing some bits and pieces from the Diaso Petit Train range. I've been interested in these for a bit but haven't seen any in the flesh, but when I saw some come up really cheap on eBay decided to buy a few scenery items - my primary target was a train station - with a view to using them with the Takara PlaRail as they seem to be about the same scale.

Well the good news is it seems they are, one of the items I bought were some track supports/pillars, partly because I don't have many of the Takara (yellow) ones, partly because I prefer grey ones anyway to go with the grey track. I've got a few pics below which show what these pillars look like along with them supporting a piece of Takara PlaRail track which fits just like a glove

Next step will be to get some Diaso track and a loco to see if they are compatible with Takara. If they are it could get very interesting
