So I received my last and final FromJapan purchase for awhile anyway. The shipping is killing my excitement of getting these trains. It is litterly costing an arm and a leg it seems like. And this lot (well some of it) I was a little disappointed with which was not FromJapans fault but it made the shipping hurt that much more.

Anyway.. :cool:

The first lot I have here was one that I could not tell much from. I saw an Oliver and what looked like a couple Kiehan (spelling) wrapped trains. So I separated these out when I unpacked them. These are the Plarail/Tomy things. Most will be for parts or customs as it is heavily used and dirty.

My main question though is with these.

Notice the connectors are different and they do not appear to be Plarail, So what are these?

Next up is the Shuppo. I have really been into the western steamers since getting some of the Disney trains so this one was a must. The other items were a bonus. These all look to be brand new in the box.

This next one was sort of a bust.. :-/. So the gear was cracked, which I got fixed with a new gear. There were batteries left in it, so there was a little corrosion. There was no track, AV cable, or instructions. And once I got it all going, the controller piece needs to be pointed and almost inches away from the train to get a good picture. :dodgy:

This one I got a good deal on at only $8. I went to take the shell of and cracked on of the tabs that hold the shell on.. (dang it...)

This one is very nice and is pretty rare from my understanding.

And here is Oliver.. he was a pleasant surprise. The date is 1996 so an early one. There is one sticker at the rear that is off, but other than that is in great shape.
