Takara PlaRail (Pocket Trains) Information

I was just looking for them and failed to find one. Maybe some other day.

What exactly are you looking for? Trains, track, accessories or all? Bear in mind that these are a slightly different scale to Tomy so do not run on the blue tracks, you need the original Takara track.

I wonder how well the user modified tandems run with I assume the added weight of a second motor unit or do you think they turn them both on. That couldn't be the case with the tandem red DD51 as the front car must not be powered right?

Very nice pictures. Is the setup that has the landscaping around it yours Nigels? It looks great. Wish there were overall pictures or are they just dioramas set up for the picture taking. I even see tracks painted brown with white rails.

For the dual ones I would assume they either run them both or they fit the motor body to a dummy chassis (a trailer car). In fact it is almost certainly the latter, I say this as they do not freewheel when 'off' and the motor car and battery car (middle car) are normally permanent connections.

The plus side is that the motor bodies would easily fit a trailer chassis as they are all the same size as is the middle battery chassis for that matter. This is in fact quite a handy thing as a couple I've bought in job lots that don't work, but have a body type I've not got can be transplanted onto working chassis that I've got duplicates of

As for the pictures, those ones are all harvested off the Japanese site I found and/or google (in the former case I did try to email the site owners for permission but the email bounced). Longer term I intend to start posting my own pictures as well, but I need to build a layout first
