What would you want to see in plarail?

What about other fictional trains besides characters from Thomas and Chuggington? Little Engine That Could (not specifically Tillie), Titfield Thunderbolt, Ivor the Engine, Polar Express, Hogwarts Express, Casey Jr... There are literally endless choices that shouldn't be missed because they'd be gone from stores very shortly and, therefore, become real Shlagers and/or rare, collectable items.

However, I do agree about the lack of international diversity being a letdown. If they did put more effort into acquiring railway company licenses and broadening their overall scope and approach, it might be a wonderful and very financially successful way to introduce Plarail and/or Plarail Advance in these railways' countries in case they never heard of it.

Yeah that's a good idea, Little Engine that Could would be interesting, Casey Jr would be too, as would Polar and Hogwarts Express. I don't know much about Ivor or the Thunderbolt, but they could work.

Honestly I think the reason Tomy doesn't make a lot of international engine is because they are a japanese company, and japan is there first concern. Though it would be interesting.

I'd like to see some british outline steamers, I'm sure they would go down a hit with the japanese market as well as worldwide if available. Things like the A3 (aka Flying Scotsman), A4 (Mallard), Coronation Class, the list is endless and could easily use the existing chassis and in some cases they almost have the bodies as well, after all Gordon is all but an A3, Spencer is an A4, I'm sure they could easily replicate the others as well...

Funny you should mention Flying Scotsman, Trackmaster made a model of him to tie into The Great Race, it even has two tenders. However its a thomas style version of him, but it could be modded to look like the real engine.
