Are the tracks and scenery at displays like this normally held down with shiny dome-headed screws the way they are here?

Yes, they are, for some reason (stability?). I saw small shiny screws on many official Takara Tomy displays so far. They are not to be seen in the official Tomy videos, but when visitors are shooting the videos, we can see these screws. Here are the screws in a 2018 Expo video:

And you are most probably right, Chrisjo: the sheds are a representation of the big roundhouse and turntable at the museum, which originals can be seen in the first part of Suzukawa's video.

Super

Those screws can be found on most all transported Layouts so they don't need to be reconstructed at every show they are at. Just fold up the tables, load them on a truck and pop up the tables at the next location. Saves so much time.

Something new from "Plarail Railway Company":

Super

I am guessing that the video only gives a quick teaser as to what the next fictitious train on the Line is. Is it this??? Would be kewl if it was a the lights looked like that.

Mister No

I believe it's the second train (after the red one) in the "Plarail Railway Company" series. I couldn't find anything more about it, they just released that video.

New freight car pack releasing

Plarail Thomas the Tank Engine Connect and play! Full freight car collection. Releasing November 6th.

All rereleases or recolors, but selling additional express coaches is a good idea to me. I hope Kevin's flatbed is a different green to the Freight Cars set ones, I have dozens of them.

Super

Thanks Duckman

Not sure I have seen those Sodor Shipping containers before and I don't think I have seen what looks to be Treasure Chests that perform some kind of action (spin?) either.

chrisjo

Another opportunity to buy mini-kevin always welcome.

DuckGWR

Yep, the shipping containers are getting a Thomas themed recolor for the first time I believe, the treasure chests are on the same chassis as the ladybugs from the James bee pack so they probably have the same eccentric wheels and jostle around as it rolls

The cement mixer looks like its the same recolor as the one from the Percy circus pack

And the cream milk truck looks to be the same as the current freight cars set

I believe the light blue truck with a CGI face is a new color combination
The flatbed looks like the same one as the old freight cars set, but I'm interested in if the Kevin will be the same as the individual giveaway variant or the yellow Victor pack variant, or a new variant entirely

Super

From what I can tell from looking at those shipping containers....they may have painted graphics and not the stickers that most all other Plarail containers have.

leylandvictory2

it looks like the red flatbed can spin from the looks of it.

Hurray...some new items. I do like the long Container car but am disappointed that the EF200 is not an updated chassis. Never the less...pre-ordered. Thanks Mr No 🙂

leylandvictory2

the long container car is basically like the long car carrier car released last year (I think). it will be interesting to see how it performs at the Plarail cargo station.

Super

Hey Muddy...is this a new Thomas face variation?

Good Grief...not another one of these :-/

Mister No

Yup, another one. :s

These JR Kyushu Shinkansens must be very popular, because they are releasing and re-releasing them every now and then, with slight modifications - more cars, different colours, Mickey Mouse themed, now these special wishing stickers...

Suzukawa’s video on the new Dokidoki Mountain DX set and on the new set of freight cars.

[video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSihzdDFJ1M[/video]

Now that I see it “live,” I’m even more disappointed with that “mountain,” which now consists of panels. There is no mountain! As I said before, it looks like something Mattel would produce. Pity... And the “castle” at the top is somehow flat and unpresentable.

Worst of all, it does not allow for the possibility of a different combination, e.g., joining two sets so that the train, instead of crashing down a sharp slope, descends another mountain. With previous Dokidoki sets, this was possible. Now, an element like this is hard to incorporate into the layout where you want to run some other Plarail trains as well, not just Thomas & Friends.
