plarail experts, auction help please?

[ripley802]

yes, thats kind of the worrying part. most of the track i dont need, but it will pump up the shipping cost so much. and then theres the issue of where do i put it? have more than i can handle. tempting to make up basic circles and sell them, but then people cant buy the right engines anymore.

I have had a couple lots that I have won in the past which had tons of track and I was only after risers, trains, etc.. I contacted the seller and asked if they could keep the track and re-sell it as I was only interested in certain things. Sometimes they seem fine with this and sometimes it is more of a hassle.

true, ripley. that had never occured to me, lol. too late now, thats for sure.

i took a stab and won the lot for $121NZD, plus whatever freight will be. not too awful bad. outbid the previous person by a whole dollar, so they will be upset when they realise. lol.

Way to go Sun, I love it when I win an auction like that lol!!

While looking for a video for the neat old Plarail station with lights in another thread I discovered this video of the exact station you inquired about.

Plarail · Big Station was a hit item in the 1990s. It was an epoch-making product at that time, it was a product full of dreams for children with a spinning turnout board, traffic lights etc., including in-house broadcasting / departing bells by Mike.

great find, super! thanks. pity mine seems to be missing the light tower, but it may well come with the lot, but was detached for whatever reason.
