Daiso Petit Trains

Nice work Nigels. I really like your window glazing. Gives it a more real look rather than a toy.

I think so too and it is dead easy to do, all you need is some semi-flexible clear plastic such as many things use as 'blister' packaging and a bit of glue. I'd always intended to do this to some plarail models, in fact I did do exactly this to a Thomas Annie or Claribel (can't remember which) as well as some detailing. I always intended to post pics, but was waiting until I'd completed the other one, but like a lot of my projects it was put on hold for something else and I've not re-visited it yet

I agree, this is the way to go for the Windows. This is just want I did for the Christmas coaches I did. I used some matte finish tape but there are likely other ways to give it a "frosted" look of needed. Nice job Nigel.

P.S. Mr Ripley, if you think these battery terminals may work in your PlaRail engines you renovate let me know and I can send you some

Thanks Nigel. I think these may be a bit different. Close but would likely take some customizing. I had seen some nickel played tin strips that I was thinking of getting to try and make my own but haven't tried yet.

Best of all though is the spare parts removed will not go to waste either, the motor (complete with worm gear) is ideal for replacing old/tired motors in the Takara PokeTrains I own, I have spare connectors if any should break on the Daiso trains and also spare traction tires for the Daiso's. Here's a pic of the parts removed from the two I stripped down;

Worthless without video! LOL

I may send you some anyway, they are the right thickness and width I reckon, you may just have to re-bend them a bit or something

Among some Choro-Q and Shorty B's that arrived from the land of the rising sun today I also got this box about 14" x 12" x 12";

Wow, great price but that only makes me more jealous.

Yup if it wasn't for the shipping I would have fell off my seat at that price, but even with shipping it was still a great deal
