True they are not Tomy, they are Kansai, but they seem to work fine on Tomy track so far, at worst all you'd need to do is change the traction tyres. There are actually two types of Kansai, the original DX which are a slightly smaller gauge and would not run on blue tracks, and then the 'Go-Go' type which are the same gauge as Tomy. I like them as the detailing is superb and the designs like the graffiti type one are painted/printed and not stickers Big Grin

love the paint job on the suburban, almost looks like graffiti.

I didn't know they were event models, nice to know, but they are nice cars for sure. I also love the Kansai, it's one of a bunch I got all with stunning detailing and paint jobs on them. Good runners too Smile

I always liked the look of the Kansai trains...well that is except for their fake trucks on the chassis, like the Chuggington trains. If it weren't for those trucks I would have bought a couple and tried to fit it on a Plarail chassis.

I really like the look of that trolley/tram/street car in the last photo, nice detailing. Too bad it isn't powered.

I reckon it would be possible to remove the fake trucks fairly easily if really needed and as for the tram it is pretty much a standard size chassis so I reckon it could be converted to battery from its current elastic power Smile
Happily collecting things all my life... Big Grin
