I think this ebay seller is a collector / trader in Plarail models, as I've noticed in the past, that he often sells interesting and unusual items.
It's such a pity there are no reasonably priced, Plarail shops, in English speaking countries, as this lack of options leaves little alternative to collectors, other than buying from Jauce (with the fees that incurs) and then paying import tax can be expensive.

Some of us will be desperate. I for one will let this deal pass

Could this be the first generation of Tomy trains?

Very nice looking and I love those working side rods...hmmm...maybe I will buy it just to tear it apart and see if I cab adapt those rods to a newer plarail steam engine. Big Grin

No. Plarail started in the 1950's which is much earlier than that set from the 1970's.

Is this a similar item?

PlaRail

If so even with shipping/fees/duty its probably a better buy Smile

It looks like it, but I don't suppose it has the sound feature.
