Oh My...a "Bridge Fetish"? I must schedule an emergency session with my analyst.
I do like railroad bridges and since the first time I saw the Plarail long red girder bridges I searched for all the options and different looks from those common, basic, 8" two piece red side bridges that are so prevalent in Plarail layouts. Come to think of it, Trackmaster really doesn't have much in the way of bridges. Not only does Plarail have many styles of bridges they have different colors in some of those types.
I will keep you in mind Nigels, for any Plarail Advance that may come my way. Any that I have had over these last few years I sold on Ebay. Here in the States though, the Advance line is not very popular at all.
They really did a great job with the high details on all three of the box cars for this special 50th Anniversary Release. The details spread all around the units including the front and rears. All these units are only available with this set, at least that is what I have uncovered. The last car design with the PlaKid can be found in red included in a retail Plarail Freight Set this is the only one done in black. I showed a picture of the rear of the box as I normally remove all stickers and you can see what they originally said. I have read that the white one is a Refrigeration Car and I am proud to have 5 of them now. I have tried to research the number 5000 that is on its sticker but to possibly locate info on a real one but come up empty. Maybe someone can translate what it says above the number or have more info on a real one that this was modeled after. I love them because they are different than any other ones you find and I like unusual.
