It's definitely been a while since I bought a plarail lot and that's probably because of the lack of anything interesting or affordable, but I've finally found something! This lot probably won't be too exciting for a lot of people here as it mainly serves as a filler for a lot of the larger gaps in my collection.
I would also like to apologies for all the blurry photos as I was simply too excited!
Starting off with the engines and rolling stock: (I've opted to group these into sets were possible)
The closest thing we have to a standard tomy thomas is this Annie which is not in that great of a condition
for our first actual plarail thomas we have something quite special... The 60th anniversary metallic Thomas with Annie and Clarabel, It has a cracked gear and both tabs are broken but some glue should fix the gear problem!
Additionally we also have this plarail (presumably JP) Talk 'n' Action Thomas, another cracked gear, corroded battery terminal and what I believe to be a failed transistor will need attention but hopefully I'll be able to fix him! As you'll also see this lot contains all the Items included in the Talking Thomas set
Our only other main character is a 2003 transitional variant James. weirdly the drawbar arrived disconnected and the tender underframe was mounted on wrong however the wires were intact. Like all transitional models he's easily faded and the face is slightly yellowed but I don't mind as otherwise he's in mint condition, although I'd much rather get a 2004-2012 James with the black drawbar, but definitely will NOT be paying anything close to $50 for him. I'm also really happy to finally own a tar tanker. The tanker didn't originally have a front hook but I added one so now it's also in mint condition. The van also brings my total to 6 (so far)
A plarail Lady with cracked gear that will also be fixed
Splatter and Dodge... sadly no works unit coach
and a few more trucks
There were also 3 plarail shinkansen models although and even though I've never really been interested in getting any of these I do find all of these really interesting.... Also I could not be bothered to look any f these up so if anyone could give me more information I'd definitely appreciate it!
This one has a partially cracked gear but I will be fixing it!
This one had a misaligned coupling mechanism, but I've fixed it already
Out of the 3 this one is the only one to not be complete! Weirdly it's also fitted with the original tomy hooks and axels even though it was produced in 1998 long after 1994
In terms of destinations we finally have Ffarquhar station X2. I've had a platform for about 7-8 years now and finally I have the complete station. The faded one is the older one, with the original tomy logo
A wash that is VERY faded and is also missing one roller
One tunnel
One crossing
2 bridge trusses
Accessories
2 complete trees, one base and 3 tops. The 3 basses are the older stile ones with a smaller footprint
2 red buffers
2 bridge supports
2 4 tall rail girders
Track
1 Loop
6 Talk 'n' action rails
The pack of 3 1/4 straights and adaptors (really exciting)
2 stop and go rails
1 ramp
My first bits of proper double track:
1 double straight
4 double curves
1 manual and 1 automatic double rail point
and some more track
