Plarail Caitlin

Oh no, I wasn't actually at the show! I live in the US. I found that image on Twitter.

I'm still hoping Daisy will be TS-25!! She is a very prominent character in season 20 and 21! They must make a model of her!

They should make Oliver as TS-26, Duck ad TS-27, Donald as TS-28, Douglas as TS-29, Bring back Victor as TS-30, Mavis as TS-31, Harvey as TS-32, and add Flying Scotsman as TS-33. Also Bill as TS-34, Ben as TS-35, Stanley as TS-36, and Diesel as TS-37 and Paxton as TS-38.

Looks like you have quite the plan set up for Plarail T-Boy . I always go for the new releases instead of re-makes so I would go for your Flying Scotsman for sure as a plan. But to satisfy all...I would go for a plan that has Plarail releasing as sets of 3 Trains at least annually or bi-annually similar to the 3 releases above.

One of the 3 would be a whole new character as Ashima is

One would be a re-make but with a brand new designed coach or rolling stock piece added as Caitlin is

And one that would be a re-make but with an entirely new look and brand new designed coaches or rolling stock as Rosie is

This might please everyone and I certainly would be onboard with this plan as long as The Flying Scotsman is next

Yeah, I would love to see what Plarail could do with this famous engine, and I want to compare him to my TM2 'Hyper Scotsman'.

Personally, this is what I would do to the current Plarail range:

Replace Belle TS-08 with a new engine being Duck and Douglas, re-designed with an AA drive unit and NO whole in his cab! Douglas would not be motorised, but would have a front coupler. However, his drive unit would be interchangeable to make him motorised, much like Merlin.

Replace Rocky and Percy TS-17 with a new engine being Oliver. He should be given new updated details and his mould should be updated too. He should be included with a CGI grey style Troublesome Truck and CGI style Toad.

Replace TS-19 Flynn with a new engine being Salty. He is very prominent in the show I have no idea why he has not been re-released! Anyway, he should be given an updated mould and details. His trucks should be two grey CGI style troublesome trucks with four fish loads.

New engines which would extend from TS-24:

TS-25: Daisy with milk tanker and CGI style troublesome truck.

TS-26: Donald with grey low level wagon (same mould as the red plant truck that comes with TM HTC Arthur) and 3 silver pipes (like the ones from the plarail wagon with 3 pipes).

TS-27: Bill and Ben with blue truck. Bill would be motorised, but Ben would not be motorised, but would have a front coupler. However, his drive unit would be interchangeable to make him motorised, much like Merlin.

TS-28: Millie with yellow CGI troublesome truck with two blue barrels and red CGI troublesome truck.

TS-29: Diesel with CGI face, with yellow Dieselworks tanker and red and yellow striped brake van (same mould as the 2014 TS-05 James, but colour red).

TS-30: Mike with brown Arlesdale hopper truck.

TS-31: Rex with Arlesdale pink-red open passenger wagon.

TS-32: Bert with Arlesdale pink-red closed passenger wagon.

Hobby Search shows Caitlin with a Reserve (Pre-Order) button as does pre-orders for the ne Percy and Thomas. Ashima has closed for the pre-orders but if you are on the waiting list they will Email you when she becomes available. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/list/2561/0/1

i am pretty sure they will end up in ebay should the waiting list fail

She and her Tender are exact same the 2014 set but there is no sticker on her body.

Besides the beautiful Express Coach, does anyone know if the soon to be released Caitlin train is the exact same as the only other Caitlin ever released with Connor in the King of the Railway set in 2014? Is she and her Tender the exact same or will she have new details.
