just a few questions if i may...
#1) d-51 please elaborate on this "series" i put tht in quotes cuz i can only assume there is a line to this train.
#2) c-61? i don't know anything about this train or its line.
#3) if you r telling me tht u made the coaches and brake van a custom model, tht is to say u did tht on ur own... thts incredible.
#4) how many steam engines are there in plarail?
i took someones advice and "googled" trains with lights. up came a train. d-51 200 series.
wht is this train? how does it work? wht does it look like nib/complete?
As above, the 'd51' is the name of the train, they are plarail items and have a nice drive unit, they are available on eBay, the d51 takes a c size battery and has the factory head light

I have both these locos and think they are great, I like the drive units as they are quiet, and they are quicker than trackmaster locos,
There are a few plarail steam locos but some have the motor in the tender instead of the loco, I prefer the ones with the motored in the loco as they operate better on the automatic points and don't seem to derail as often
Yeah I put the leds in the carriages they worked well but as they were LED's they were really bright, some carriages worked better than others! here are a few others I did,
