I certainly haven't seen boxes like those in the first picture before. Is that German?

[chrisjo]

Yes, the entire Tomy Express line of re-boxed & re-badged Plarail trains was German.

How did you find all this Chris, when I looked for TOMY Express and TOMY Zubehör, nothing as clear as these images came out.
Was this a lost eBay auction?

[chrisjo]

They were both listed on eBay UK on Dec 1st. I saved all the images from both lots.

The listing of the three accessory boxes seems to have vanished after being tagged for a while as 'no longer available', I haven't asked why.  The images I posted above are doctored versions of the originals with their perspective distorted to make the boxes look square.

Thank you chris, I'm not sure about listed on Dec 1st but I saw a revision on Nov 29th. Deserve a reputation up, big thank you.

[chrisjo]

Of course you are correct, listed 29th Nov.

This is a really cool find Chris! However, I now have Kraftwerk’s “Trans-Europe Express” stuck in my head!
