Hey guys!
Just posted a little heads up in the Tomica World section regarding what I think might be a rare Japanese Child Guidance set for you guys
to follow up on;
This ends in 3 days, and has no bids, so i'd get on it if it's really a rarity.
Anyway, not the main point of this post lol
The main point is an update; I built my layout, which is more or less complete now [I do re-position things occasionally], and I'll get some pics soon; However, I also managed to get my hands on some more unusual Plarail components to add to the layout.
For reference, I'm not looking to buy any more trains, except for the ones in the Tomica World [1990's export] range that I haven't got, as i've now got some 40-odd trains which is more than enough to be getting on with; that said, a complete [as per the catalogue] set of the exported Japanese trains would be nice - Same goes for tracks, i'm trying to actively avoid track unless I can help it, as i've got more than enough.
In any case, the unusual components include a 300 Series 'Nozomi' train case, similar in concept to the 'Giant Thomas' from the Tomica World range, except this one's a 300 Series Shinkansen that opens up to reveal 9 tracks and also the 'Plarail' add-on for the Sega Pico, which appears to be a controller that you attach to your console, then connect directly to your layout, with the aim being that you use one of your trains to control the game on-screen; I'll probably make a post about this when I've got it and had it running.
The final one, which i'm sure might be of interest is the Japanese 'Tomica World' promotional VHS that was missing from my 300 Series track-set. Believe it or not, I managed to track down a copy, and I'm going to digitize it and upload it to YouTube so the community finally has a decent-looking copy of at least one of the Japanese promo tapes [the only one I could find on YouTube was someone filming a TV screen as the film played]
Anyways, stay tuned, as I'll be sure to get some pictures when the new stuff has arrived
