That video is awesome thanks for the link! I had no idea our C12 was that old!! it's siderods are the thin double ones with a space in between though, and came with the single engine box.

This may give you some info as to the progression of the Tomy motors.

If those Chirin's can be opened up then it looks like all they would need is some added weight and the proper 'push' coupling and it should hold the rails a lot better. Weights inside like these https://www.ebay.com/itm/Weights-Self-St...XQnYJQ9pjC or these https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-4-oz-7-gram-W...Sw1WJZLeyI should work as long as there is room inside the shell.

That was a very cool idea! Sorry to see that Ashima didn’t do so well but now we know “And knowing is half the battle”! LOL

Yes Super is s genius!!
I wouldn't half expect Tomy to start making slightly reduced sized motorized tenders specifically for them now!!
Or at least experiencing a shortage of used tenders on eBay with an increase in tender modding!?

I see you have already found a place for the Automatic Railroad Crossing Station Set, very nice. I am amazed at how much you can put into your Layout.

The Vicarage Orchard ~ Tomy Amtrak request/Patchwork Hiro run

I tend to forget that the Plarail F series engines are so powerful. This reminds me that I need to get out my Santa Fe version and run it.
I also need to show this to my son since Patchwork Hiro is one of his grail engines.
All in all, a great video featuring two of my favorites!
