I remember that we discussed “azuazupapa” once before. He also built a Manchurian Railway Pashina class from a Plarail Gordon and French Nord locomotive from a Plarail James. The latter train also featured a couple coaches kitbashed from Plarail Suha class coaches and some Esci 1/87 scale passenger coaches. Somewhere, I have a link to his website, which is in Japanese and primarily
features his scratchbuilt warship models. From what I can recall, the custom Plarail trains were just a diversion from his model ship building hobby and were inspired by finding his (now adult) son’s Plarail Thomas stuff in storage. Apparently, he sold some of these for pretty decent money on Yahoo!Japan Auctions a few years ago.
Hopefully, the son knew about all this because otherwise it would kinda suck to find out what happened!
Son: “Hey Dad, do you know where all my Thomas trains are?”
Dad: “Uuuhhh... son, do you remember those auctions where I made all that money a few years back?”
