No one's posted for a while, so I got a few ideas(And reasons):
1 Triple and quadro track curves.(We need them)
2 Switches to go with #1(Why not?)
3 American 4-8-8-2 "Big Boy"(Motorised engine+tender)+ 5 American-like cars: boxcar, hopper, gondola, tanker, flatbed, and caboose with flashing lights(I LOVE Big Boys, plus realistic freight cars are neat too.)
4 American SD-40-2 with dummy and 2 boxcars(Hey, it's one of the most used locomotives ever)
5 American Amtrak Acela + AEM-7DC two train set(Northeast Corridir for life!!!)
6 American Amtrak GE Genesis with 3 amfleets (We need this.)
7 American Grand Central Station set with 7 tracks and parking garage (Tomica and plarail compatible)(Neat idea, could be heaven, may be very pricey.)
8 American SD-90/43-MAC pair with dummy and bonus track loop(Starter set!!!)
9 American Yard Goat RC locomotive set with 3 cars and a 3 way switch(Switchers that use RC to control? This is better than Mr. Mototrman!!!)
10 American Auto carriers station plus SD-40-2 and 3 auto carrier cars (Your car's/truck's/motorcycle's first trip was by train!!!)

Super

The Amtrak Acela looks very much like the EuroStar...

The Big Boy is actually a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement, not a 4-8-8-2; there are other articulated engines with differing wheel arrangements, but the most famous are U.P.'s Big Boys and Challengers.

I must be thinking of the Norfolk and western's Y class locomotives. They had a 4-8-8-2 wheel arrangement.

Here are more:
1)Realistic signaling set (With motion sensors, and signals with automatic brake track)
2)Buffer 6 and 12 packs
3)American GG1, 2 coaches, 1 express boxcar, 8 canternary poles, and double track loop set.
4)American train car packs

I don't know what's more complex for the target consumers, this or Plarail Advance?

Model train signal systems use motion/light sensors.

In mine it would be a Plarail Ryan, Mike, Bert, Rex, Daisy, BoCo, Dart, Den, Phillip, Charlie, Billy, Whiff, Peter Sam, Duke, Bertram, Flora, and Hank.

Also to return Skarloey, Rusty, Duck, Donald, Douglas, Oliver, Mavis, Dash, Bash, Bill, Ben, Sir Handel, Duncan, Freddie, Murdoch, Mighty Mac, Victor, Diesel, Lady, Splatter, and Dodge.

Welcome Trainboy90!!! You'll like it here. Say, you're my kind of user. I also agree with your "bring back" section. Especially Oliver.

ROKMAN1445

Plarail should have a box just filled with tracks. They do it with wooden trains, so why can't Plarail have those?

I wish they redesigned the 800 series Shinkasen set to have the new motor. Also to make a Tomy The Polar Express. Also to redesign the E1Max, 100 Series Shinkasen, 883 Blue Sonic, D51 200, and 200 Series Shinkasen. Also to Bring back the Hypercity Skyliner with new redesigned motor like the AE Skyliner is getting next month.

Is there a difference between the Hypercity Skyliner and the AE Skyliner you speak of? Does't the Skyliner already have a two speed AA battery assembly?

Even TrackMaster had (and still has) track packs. However, I think there were Tomica (Hypercity?) branded Plarail ones as well (I remember picking up a whole bunch of risers from Idan 2000 to create elevated layouts, so I assume they also made track packs under Tomica).

The AE Skyliner is only sold in Japan and can only be bought in the USA by imporing. The Hypercity Skyline was the Hypercity version of it.

But isn't it the same?

I believe that Tomica Hypercity #70523 and the current Plarail S-54 are identical inside the box, but Trainboy seems to be referring to a new release, not out yet.

This one in fact:

Due out 11th February. How does it differ? I don't know.

I finally found this thread! Better bookmark it for next time. Anyway, I'd love for TOMY to make a few TF2 sets as I talk about in this thread: http://www.blueplastictracks.com/showthread.php?tid=1586
I'd also like them to make some more engines from around the world. I'm actually surprised there isn't an official Plarail model for locos like Mallard, Flying Scotsman, and the like. They should also release a bit more information regarding the current state of their rights to Thomas and Friends.

Miksolo

TOMY should make a Plarail Advance Mike, Rex, and Bert. Enough said. c:

I didn't realize you were into the Advance line Miksolo. That being said, and if Plarail still has a license for Thomas and Friends, I wonder if there has been any talk of characterizing the Advance series or even if it would be popular enough to make money. Interesting thought though.

Oh, I've never even seen an Advance train in real life. However, I might want to buy one or two to have running around in a coffee table if I ever get the money for that kind of furniture.
I think it would be awesome to have a Mike, Rex, and Bert in Advance form instead of normal Plarail if I had to choose. I would love to have them in an accurate scale to the rest of my trains, as they would be even smaller than Take 'N' Plays. Plus, I'm sure characterization of Plarail Advance would make it slightly more popular.
