[Super]

Interesting and I am so glad they decided to bring back an original Viaduct even though its not an exact match its better than nothing. Now this is something I can get behind if with every new full set they bring back something old. Thanks for the heads up Dr Chris. 👍

Had plans to print out a custom bruno but evidentally I might not have to do that.

GOGOトーマス わたってバッターン! ダイナミックブリッ [GOGO Thomas Wataru Batteran! Dynamic Bridge]
GOGOトーマス ニア・ウィフ・ブルーノのおともだちセット [GOGO Thomas Near Wife Bruno's Friends Set]

---

Bruno's designed to run on their interchangable GOGO chassis and has a switch hole, same with Whiff.
For anyone wanting a Bruno that can run under risers and isn't noticably smaller (Push Along) or excessively larger (Motorized) you're in luck. It's probably possible to fit him with one of the 2020 Motorized era front couplings or an Emily tender front coupling to run Bruno in reverse.

Also first release of Plarail Whiff ever.

GOGOトーマス ニア・ウィフ・ブルーノのおともだちセット [GOGO Thomas Near Wife Bruno's Friends Set]

Hmmm!  Let's take a closer look at that. The text on the label is actually:
GOGOトーマス ニア・ブルーノ・ウィフの おともだちセット

Which I would translate as GOGO Thomas Friends; Nia, Bruno and Whiff Set.  Now doesn't that make a bit more sense?

Now, have another look at "Wataru Batteran!" !
