Thank yoy Dr Chris 👍
I am so curious about the idea and the possible profits these can bring in order to re-tool a whole assemble line to produce these entirely new and similar line of trains. Not only the size themselves but a whole new power train chassis as Chrisjo points out. What do you all think of this new way of coupling with these. Are they thinking that this new way of connection is easier for tots?. In my way of looking at logic....I guess the the sliding coupler (holed) on the engine could help little hands with with getting the hook into it as it holds the coupling still not letting it go from side to side. I can see why that would help the little people a lot buuuuuut....they negate this help with the long slot on the Hook side which would have to frustrate children even more as when you try to push it into the holed coupling it keeps sliding into that long slot and out of the way...I certainly don't get that part if indeed that their main motivation for creating these slightly smaller trains is for getting children into the Plarails at a younger age.
Any thoughts?
