Well they are really really cheap items to buy, so I can imagine they probably have quite a big following in Japan, especially for parents with kids as they could get them a pretty big layout and set of loco's for not a lot of cash

If only Trackmaster would add some quality in their products. *Cough cough*
There's still lots of other listings.

Never a truer word spoken, the new Trackmaster products really do suck. I saw the latest version of Thomas the other month, you know the one that has carriages which are simply goods cars with stickers on the side to make them look like carriages. How much lower can the quality sink on that range? <shakes head in disbelief>...

"Annie and Clarabel" look like toast-colored toasters on wheels, excuse my repetitiveness.

No need to apologise, totally correct, they definitely look like something brown and steaming that's for sure

It's Daiso.
I've seen them in stores. They have models of steam locomotives like the D51 as well but you have to buy each car separately.

There are a few sets on Amazon that seem to be by Daiso. The track looks identical...

You can buy the accessories individually as well on Amazon although there is a bit of a premium. I really like the raised platform station.
