I've searched all over for the proper thread for this, but to no avail, so I decided to just put it here. Sorry ;-;
Anyway, this'll probably NEVER happen, but I was thinking about what it would look like if Valve and Takara Tomy teamed up to make train sets based on Valve video games? I'm pretty sure Counter-Strike and Half-Life have some trains in them, but I don't know anything about them, and they aren't as big of a deal as they are in Team Fortress 2.
It would be AWESOME to get a Plarail train set based on the payload map, pl_frontier, with a motorized 'Lil Chew-Chew loco and a BLU team flatbed that could fit little figures of the 9 classes on them. I'd think the best for it would be BLU Demoman, BLU Scout, RED Engineer (with some kinda special sentry gun interactive track piece), and RED Heavy.
I would LOVE to own something like that. I choose Frontier over other maps, as the other bomb carts don't have the sort of character and size that 'Lil Chew-Chew does. The ones from Hoodoo and the original maps are just too small and oddly-shaped to be motorized.
Lil' Chew-Chew as he appears in-game
Another idea for a Team Fortress train is to make it based on the short film and major update, "End of the Line", with the BLU team's Northern Express loco pulling several boxcars, with the graffiti on it, as shown in the movie. Maybe even add in Pyro's boxcar, with all the rainbows and unicorns on it. >w<
In addition, there could be some road packaged in as well, and a motorized Sniper's Van, and maybe some rubber ducks here and there.
