Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

New McDonald's (non-motorized) Happy Meal Plarail toys... 



Some elements could be very usable on a bigger layout...

You have to wonder if you can connect two or more McDonald platform together to form a longer platform.

Could these be the same gauge as Capsule Plarail? They're clearly smaller than the regular trains, so surely they'd have to fit on it. Too bad Ōigawa Thomas' coupling rods are printed on, but the others might have good potential for customs.

They are clearly shorter, but I think they are the same gauge as "normal" Plarail. At least that was the case with some previous McDonald's Happy Set toys. They have front couplings so you can pull them with motorized Plarail engine:

You can see how all the scenery elements interlock in the promotional video that Mr No posted above.

It sure does, it's somehow "hollow". It lacks dimensions: I just can't see a mountain here... Moreover, it's not very practical and imaginative because it allows only one way traffic (by looking at it, I concluded that the steep yellow slope must be used, making it impossible for the engines to go in the opposite direction). Thankfully, if someone wants one of the old Dokidoki sets, they are still very obtainable today; I have two previous sets and I love them! 

However, I must once again emphasize a very important fact: Takara Tomy is still in the business of making classical Thomas & Friends nice Plarail engines and even big sets like this one, and that's good. Classic blue plastic tracks "Thomas & Friends" line is most certainly not dead. Considering the consternation that the "other company" instigated by the infamous "reboot", that's really fantastic news. 

Maybe some of us won't like this set, but who cares! There'll be, very likely, more engines and sets from Tomy! That's all that matters.

And I hope Plarail keeps the CGI style engines we know and love because it's a lot better than the reboot. And I bet this "other company" is Mattel with Mototrized & push Along.

... and what are those sheds?

[Super]

Thanks Dr Chris

Those are the sheds but what about that Turn Table which looks to be Gray with Tomy Tracks??

The back of the new Dokidoki Mountain, actually Dokidoki plates. it really doesn’t seem impressive. 
But the load in the yellow wagon is interesting...

Looks like they are the Harder to find dark brown barrel's stood on end rather that the easier to get orange ones.
