ripley802 Thanks Super. Yeah I probably should have kept the coaches, but they are in a great collection. I really like the DD51. I see it in the Plarail catalog and it looks like it had a white Tomica car (hot wheel like) with it. I also found one (the suburban type) with sound. I had been looking for one of those on Jauce but not purchased one yet. I did a quick check and only 3 are non working. They may just need a jump start as they have been sitting in storage it looks like. The Amtrak is in great condition with just one of the cars having a small rub on the top. Those are very fast too. Very cool train.
sunhuntin wow, thats a great score. well done! would love to see scans or photos from the brochure if possible, please?

ActionChugger Awesome buy! But if you ever get tired of the Amtrak, Let me know :cool: I think the same seller has a single red F-Unit coach. Gonna see if they will sell it by itself :blush:

DalaGStanator Nigels wrote I've got the Advance version of the automatic transfer station in the post, looks like it will be pretty cool 🙂 I never knew they made one for Plarail Advance. Thank you!
ripley802 Here is the other item that I purchased from the seller that I just received the large Plarail lot from. Again on eBay and not the Japan auctions.. 😃
ripley802 And the hits keep coming..😃. So nothing huge but these two items were very unexpected but much welcomed. First up is a Plarail 2nd Generation Talking James. I will be posting another thread soon when I get my FromJapan shipment which will have some more of these type, when I saw this one I could not pass it up. Next we have a Pokémon "Naughty" Poke train, I believe is what it is called. I have seen this one in a set before and was going to get one but they always seem to be quite expensive. This one was not too bad, but doesn't have the trailing car if anyone spots one while browsing.
ripley802 Super wrote Nice finds. What does the trailing Pokemon car look like? Thanks Super. I believe it is like this one. Sort of hard to tell but looks like the western River style cars.
Super Did a little research to find that Ucwepn did an unboxing and first run of this hard to find set. I think Geris may have one too. http://myplaraildepot.weebly.com/pokemon.html [video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09I9u-5J6LQ[/video]
MuddyPoppins There are 2 variations of the Pokemon Streamer...Ucwepn and Geris both have the version with "Pokemon" written on the side of the cab, but Ripley has the same version that we have that says "2005" on the cab...Don't know which came first or why they're different though?

Did one maybe come with the set and one sold individually? I am thinking I have only ever seen it in the set but maybe not. Or maybe different years?
sinkillerj 2005 is a pretty significant number as it refers to the year the PokePark opened. Perhaps since it is based on a PokePark train they also sold the 2005 model there?
ripley802 Another great eBay score. I have one of these in almost mint condition with the box thanks the the wonderful Nigels, but could not pass this one up. My best offer of $21 was accepted so a great deal in my mind. It did not come with all of the track/switches, but I am ok with that. This is getting into the Christmas layout too since my other one is in its box. 😃
Super $21 that is an unbelievable deal for this hard to find station, especially here in the States. Should look fantastic in your Xmas layout, maybe with some festive lighting.. Great grab Ripley,
sinkillerj I agree with Super, you got an amazing price on it. One of these days I need to hunt down a complete Knapford Station myself, quite a fan of it.
