Lots of New Stuff for Jan / Feb 2018

[Super]

Plarail is alive and well with these new releases for late Jan early Feb 2018 releases.

S-22 JR Shikoku 8600 Type (3-Car Set)

Certainly different looking. 'C' Size Battery.




Kumamoto Electric Railway 01 Wrapping Train
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10513462
'C' Sized Battery.





Cruise Train DX Series Train Suite Shikijima (6-Car Set)

My favorite & ordered...has something unique...

-Top car: with powered car replacement chassis with light
- 4th lounge car: LEDs are mounted to express interior lights.

Has any Plarail ever had Interior lights that weren't add later? Wonder if its a light generator although there doesn't appear to be traction tires on those tiny wheels. It doesn't say but by the looks of the shell clips on the engine this may be a 'C' Size battery. But then to add to the mystery it states "powered car replacement chassis" which one would assume to be the new AA two speeder. I guess I won't find out for sure until mine or yours arrives first




Now here are a couple that I had already thought to be released, at least I thought I had these in the Future World Collection. Are these any different or possibly Plarail having another production run of the same Shooting Star Gordon & Streamlined Thomas because they were so popular and the public demanded more? Might these be different in some way? Slated for a Mid-Feb 2018 release...
