How to make a Plarail Narrow Gauge Train

Way to go, Chris! Thanks for locating the brand name of the smaller Plarail clone track. Hopefully some Westerners will be able to get some of it and make their own attempts. Save for the shade of blue, it seems better than Capsule Plarail because the joints are smoother, the curve radius is bigger and more akin to Plarail and it's also more aesthetically pleasing. The powered loco seems to perform really well. I somewhat wonder if parts from a TOMY/TrackMaster road chassis might work for those without 3D printers who'd be willing to try anything similar. If only it were obvious what battery the loco has and where it is mounted since I didn't see it anywhere. Impressive how they were able to build three identical units within the same timeframe. TOMY themselves already did broad gauge once (Hyper Guardian Ekusugaina), so it's great to finally have battery powered representation of proper narrow gauge.

Meanwhile, I still don't even know how to reproduce a motor retainer and activation tab for a scratch built standard gauge chassis. Thanks for sharing, Supes.
