ActionChugger Super wrote More like he will buy you a nice room in the old folks home... Hey! I wont mind that if they let me setup all of the train sets 😃 Super you will be my roomie!
ActionChugger You can add motor and remote to make it go, but pretty much a display piece. It is very detailed. it has drive gears and paddle shifters. It is very nice for a Lego/Technic set. [video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5wy0YhCuuA[/video]
ActionChugger We received this yesterday. Tomica World 7429 Super Spiral Set It is incomplete, but I bought it more for the Train and Yellow girders. Can anyone tell me the name of the train? :-/ Thanks
Super Hitachi Fresh Express The E653 series is an AC/DC dual-voltage electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by East Japan Railway Company Wayne and Amber sold one on Ebay a couple of years ago http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOMY-THOMAS-TRACKMASTER-SUPER-SPIRAL-SET-7429-SUPERB-CONDITION-100-COMPLETE-/400700867721?pt=UK_Toys_Creative_Educational_RL&hash=item5d4ba20489 Better get them all as I believe Plarail also made a yellow, a green and an orange one too. There may also be a blue one but I can't confirm that. Thats right...I forgot you don't have many yellow girders :cool:0080524.JPG123kB
ActionChugger Ebay haul arrived today. Advance Basic Rail Set (861287) and A handful of Guide Rail AR-03
ActionChugger Super wrote I like that set with the new type curves but you only bought one, are you OK? Trying it out first and see if it is worth it :dodgy:
Super What I have seen of them they are a must have for the Advance line. One of the big drawbacks as far as I am concerned is that the trains slowed or hesitated around the regular Plarail curves. The videos I have seen with these newly designed curves there is absolutely zero slow down or hesitation for the trains.
ActionChugger And by the way, here are the connectors Too bad you cant really use the yellow girders on top of a track. it blocks the rails for the train. Need to order 500 advance girders... :rolleyes:
ActionChugger One of the straight track has female/female on both ends. Also the curve tracks are only one sided and they are two different set.
Super That seems odd to me, you would think that the curves would be both female if they can't be flipped then the connectors would be used with them.
ActionChugger My bad, after setting up the set, two of the straight tracks have F/F end connector. The 3 red squares indicates where the connector goes.
Super Back to your Super Spiral Set with the E653 Hitachi Fresh Express, here is a picture of the five color variations73nnrjkv19811.jpg48kB
