Any rumors out there on what may be the next round of releases?

Thanks Collin I had forgotten about that rolling eye Thomas set. Of course now I can't find it but this was mentioned in another Post somewhere. Also a clear blue Thomas was mentioned.

Anyone know of any others and/or non-Thomas Plarail trains or accessories?

I think we were talking about it in a thread on the new clear Thomas, Super.

Ooops! Only now I see how the new shorter stations look on the back side: they are hollow! 



So not only you'll need at least three of them for a standard three-car-train, but there is no chance to put them between two tracks. Bummer.

Ah...thats why I couldn't find it...was in the Trackmaster Forum. Going to switch that now. Thank you for the helpful Link Mr-No

Oh my, I wasn't thrilled about those abbreviated Station Platforms before, now that I see the backside I am even more disappointed. This looks much like the faux tree stands that come with these new sets. I wonder if those new platforms line up perfectly so one could glue them back to back for a double sided station? It still wouldn't be like the preferable stations but at least one would not have to position their stations in a Layout so the backside is not visible.

That's what I was thinking when I noticed how the backside of the station looks, too, Super.
The station seems symmetrical, so I suppose we could glue them back to back, but there is the problem of the roof: we should cut the part of the roof on one of them to make them fit together, shouldn't we? Seems a lot of work for a small station like this, and remember, we would need at least six of them glued back to back for a standard three car train to fit in such a station...

Here is a picture of that new type of station (from a YT video) that shows how it fits the existing plarail elements: not very well, to say the least:

Ugh!

That’s pretty disappointing. I suppose it could be used as a streetcar stop but yeah....

seems as if they are possibly going down the line of mattel and what they did with trackmaster 2
