Titipo Trains (I kid you not) from Korea?!?

Nice looking train and it does appear to run really well.  I like the push button on/off switch as well, this is something i think far more convenient than the normal PlaRail switch and in fact is the same mechanism used by the old Takara train system

Hi Nigels,

The push button is of good quality. However, it's kind of awkward as the train already starts to take off while you are pushing down on it.  You can see in the video how the train is trying to wiggle out of my hand like a fish is escaping sushi chef's hands.

I think what's great about Plarail switches is that, you push the switch forward (in the direction the train moves) to turn it on, and pull it backward as you are stopping the train.  It makes so much sense. 

After trying out this Titipo train, I come to appreciate the smallest engineering that went into creating Plarails, even the switches on them.
