Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

[Super]

Thank you Dr Chris

I guess we then can expect a future "Super Yakumo color." released Plarail train otherwise wouldn't it be useless to just produce one lilac colored coach? 🤔

I also think it to be odd that the small print translated to 4 colors when I only see 3 or am I missing one?

This is the fourth color, released March this year.

You'll have noticed that the recent Marunouchi Station came in a box with the same Real Class type Plarail logo...

Google Translate --> “Plarail Real Class Island Home Kit”, somewhat strange name for a station, but it's a great station: nice, simple & as long as you want!

Google Translate really isn't very good at context. The Japanese is 島式ホームキット.  Take away the キット, which are the characters for kit, and try the translation again. This time it comes up with the much more sensible 'Island Platform', so it can do it, it just needs a little help.

島 = island
式  = style, type, etc.
ホーム = home, but in the context of railways it also means platform.
