Trains all lit up for Christmas too? Check ✅

(I'll do a separate post on how I achieved this conversion for the princely sum of about £2.50)

And since I was on a roll with the 485 on top of the Super Hikari, I added a singular JNR blue passenger coach to my Jauce order, this one being one of the rear cab-car types with 'Fuji' boards.

Reason for that single coach was a seller here in the UK was selling a lot of 5 Plarail wagons which I also snapped up, and they're definitely Plarail and not Tomica World as all seem to be Japanese exclusives (although I think the black guards van may have been released here too? Idk 😐)

These included an older design of container wagon with JNR decals, the original car-carrier wagon (prior to the designs that could carry Tomica vehicles) and another JNR blue coach, this one being a middle coach rather than a cab car.

Well, this is good news for me, as I've wanted a pair of JNR blue coaches for ages to hook up to my Tomica World EF65, from the Mega Set.

Anyone who owns one may have noticed, the loco in the Mega Set is actually a 'Fuji' branded EF65 that in Japan was sold originally with JNR blue coaches including the Fuji cab-car I have bought, whereas the version we got came with a container wagon and car-carrier in the set (either formation works as the EF65 Series was mixed-traffic anyway).

Pretty glad I have the matching coaches now though as I've wanted a set of JNR blue coaches for ages, not just for the EF65 but any of my JNR/JR loco fleet including my EF66 and some of the steam engines (Think ive seen images of C12 and D51s hauling rakes of JNR blue coaches around anyway Smile )
Been building Plarail worlds since 2001; Building when I can in 2023 Cool
