    Thread: Capsule Plarail on Power Trains Track?
Post: RE: Capsule Plarail on Power Trains Track?

Nigels are the Epoch trains visually compatible? I.e. If I were to bodge a coupler converter car would they look OK in the same train or would one brand look overly large in comparison to the other?

Has anyone tried this? If so do they fit? Mainly wondering about the original/1.0 track due to 2.0 lacking switches.

How many color variants of the Trackmaster car are there? My local Target has dark blue, light blue, green, pink, red, and yellow. Is this all of them?

Has any one bought part # R9237-9079 from the Fisher-Price parts store? If so do the hooks have the larger or smaller sized mounting hole?
