Does anybody know where these Plarail flatbeds with pipes originate from? I think there might've been a video on the forum about it relating to tankers but I can't remember.

Took me quite a while to gather up 6 of these but the most difficult part was obtaining the grey pipe that fits on them. Of course I had to get rid of the original yellow wheels and replace them with the normal gray and along with black couplings look much better imo. Big Grin  In addition to releasing this in 2005 individually (see Chrisjo's post above) this was also released earlier with the EF59 train in 2001. There is a red colored one like this that came in two different sets that had multi colored pipe.

I picked up a lot of 10 of the red ones you mentioned previously, but only one of them had all 3 of the mulitcolored pipes (and only one of them had axleboxes).

Had to print out 9 more sets of pipes and I'm currently printing set 7 as of typing this.

Anyways here's a link to tinkercad of the pipe itself for printing
https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1SxbTRT...uELH2p9i60

dimensions are as follows: 100mm long, 15mm diameter (external), 12mm internal diameter (1.5mm thick pipe)
happy printing!

so exactly the same as a commonly available type of plastic plumbing pipe!
