Daiso Petit Trains

As some of you know I've been looking at the Daiso trains/system to see if it has any cross-over with the old Takara PlaRail range. With this in mind I purc...

There's always scope to trade, I usually pick up extras of these due to the low cost 🙂

sorry, nigels. i dont have any of these that i know of. might have one or two from bulk lots, but certainly not a full set.

Nigels

My apologies Sun, it must be some other guy who said they had the full set - I suppose I'll have to go thread hunting now lol!!

sunhuntin

good luck!

Nigels

Damn it was this thread after all that, it was UCEWPN who said he's got a big box of them (rolling stock that is) but no track to run them on lol!! I'll have to ask him to list what he's got and me and AC can do the same and see what we got between us.

Not a full catalogue for sure, but at least it will give us an idea what's out there to be had 🙂

A cataloged list would be a great tool for your web site Nigels.

Well I found a pic of all except for the C11 and coaches. These are in a box that is inaccessible at the moment though lol

Leave it in the box and send it to us. We will take care of them. Evan will be thankful of Uncle Ucwepn 😃

Thanks UCWEPN, that sure helps, so it seems the only ones I'm missing at the moment is the green one (forget the name even tho I got the Tomy version) and the NEX express. I'll have to keep an eye out for those. In the meantime I believe I got a couple of loco's you don't have in those pics. That's a little exercise for the weekend - would do it tomorrow evening, but I'm out for drinks and meal with an old pal of mine after work 😃

There again maybe not, I don't have the red EF and maybe not the series 100 bullet train. Hhhmmm, more to keep an eye out for lol!

Wow, they even have a Yufuin no Mori!

Ucwepn

Yes so seems I don't have a complete set, the seller bought all the ones they had in stock for me though and this was several years ago

That's the baby, no wonder I couldn't remember the name, what a mouthful, its actually one of my favourite Tomy PlaRail - lovely loco 🙂

They probably vary the range and/or have added to it over time, it wouldn't be unusual. If anything the early ones will probably turn out to be the rarer ones 🙂

I've been getting screen dumps of all the Daiso train products I've been able to find so far (I'll add to it as I find others), its quite an impressive lineup and keeps surprising me - for example they apparently also do 'people' for your trains 🙂

You've been gathering those pics from ebay 😃

My 2nd order is on the way :dodgy:

There must be as many or more accessories than Plarail has. Are the people HO scale and did you buy all these?

Indeed I have it's easier than taking shots myself and I don't yet have them all anyway - I'm betting you're getting yours from the same eBay seller as me lol!

I've got my next batch on the way too 😉

I would guess the people are HO scale based on the size of the loco's etc... But until mine arrive I really can't be sure, but I'll let you know when they arrive.

I don't have all this stuff yet, got quite a bit of it though and the bits I don't have are 'en route' as it were. It keeps surprising me when all these extra bits and pieces pop up I never dreamt that a budget plarail type product would have such a huge range. Bearing in mind the price these things can be had for I'm surprised they are not making a dent in Tomy's sales as well...

Wow

Are those upgraded motors? I don't know what he is saying. Would be nice to know and a little clip of how he did it.

Nigels

I think the short 3 car trains are upgraded in some way. In the longer trains he is just using multiple power cars, unless modded those do not freewheel so have to be powered.
