My Tomica World - Introductions

Hey Futa. Well jealous of that train collection you had delivered from Japan. I'm a collector of the Japanese trains mainly myself (we also collect Thomas and vintage Tomy Train as well, but more by chance). I'm currently assembling a parcel on Jauce with a few more trains and accessories so looking forward to receiving that, but nothing compared to the quantity on your order

Looking forward to seeing all that in action!

Hey there!

Thanks, gonna admit, this was a project of mine to try and keep the spirits up with all the stuff that's been going on, both in general and personally, and it's worked a treat   It's been a long ambition of mine [probably goes back to being a kid and seeing an ad for the Tomica World system on my old Thomas and The Magic Railroad VHS] to make a proper, big display layout with the Plarail system, and yeah, it's certainly coming together lol 

I counted, and yeah, combining my collection of almost all the export units released under Tomica World, and my imports from HobbyLink Japan, I got around 40-45 trains now? That's partly why I bought the giant 300 Series, 9 lanes of storage where I can park some of the bullet trains that I got, my 300 series included, naturally   

In terms of the export range of Japanese trains [per the 2000-2001 Tomica World catalogue], all i'm missing now is a Boso View Express and the train that came in the Super Spiral [not the Amtrak variant], if I can get those some time, that'd be grand.
I don't think i'll take it any further than that though, unless there's any special trains that turn up; i've basically got all the ones I liked, or wanted specially. Same goes for track and sets, got more than enough going on now, just gonna stick to the occasional accessory from here on out lol 

I guess this project was the equivalent of several years of collecting done in the space of a few months; I would have been collecting way before this given the chance, but my own situation [and finances] got in the way haha 

Anyway, thanks for dropping by, do stick around as I'll defo update on what happens with the Pico system when it's all connected up
