Hello! Here is my Enoden Plarail, please travel with me from Kamakura to Fujisawa! I hope you like it. Kamakura Square: View on Kamakura Station: K...

Mister No

As we can see, the passengers on my railway are completely satisfied with the conversion of that carriage! 😊

What does the Plus mean in English Plus?

Mister No

I think they’re variants of talking trains. English Plus has these quizzes (numbers, animals) with English terms, and regular talking Thomas & Percy doesn’t (they only speak Japanese). I could be wrong, but I think that’s it.

PLARAIL THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE ORIGINAL 80th ANNIVERSARY SPARKLING SODOR ISLAND POPULAR CHARACTERS SET

This is the full title of the set. It seems that in Japan they like long titles! 😆

Mister No

A third set celebrating the 80th anniversary of the original publication of Rev. Wilbert Awdry’s first work on Thomas and Friends (1945). And another long title:

“Plarail Thomas the Tank Engine Original Publication 80th Anniversary Thomas and Harold Party Collection”

The layout for this and the previous set:

SUBURBAN TRAIN SERIES 113 (EAST JAPAN RAILWAY - YOKOSUKA COLOR)

The 113 series (113系, 113-kei) is a Japanese suburban electric multiple unit (EMU) train type introduced in 1963 by Japanese National Railways (JNR), currently operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR-West) and Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku), and formerly also operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).

This Plarail model is based on 113 series electric suburban trains in the distinctive Yokosuka blue and cream livery that were operated by JR East on the Yokosuka Line and other lines, especially the Sobu Line Rapid, before being replaced by the E217 series in the late 1990s.

The model is part of Plarail’s “Real Class” series, which is built with attention to detail. The 4-car trains come with destination board decals, a decorated interior, and three “Real Class” straight rails for immediate display.

The pantographs and other equipment on the roof of the cars are realistically designed, and since they would not be able to pass through the usual Plarail scenery elements (tunnels, bridges) due to their height, an alternative, lower version of the roof equipment is included. In this video, the trains are shown with more realistic, high pantographs.

The stations seen in the video, the “Plarail Island Platform Kit,” are also realistically designed to fit the Plarail Real Class trains. One station kit, however, consists of a platform the length of two standard Plarail tracks, but Plarail Real Class trains are 2.5 standard tracks long, so in addition to the 4 station elements (each half a standard track length), at least one more needs to be added in order for the train to fully fit into the station. In this video, the main station is set up to contain 6 station elements (a total length of three standard straight tracks).

Unfortunately, Takara Tomy has only produced regular straight, stop, and curved tracks in this “Real” series so far (no switches or other track elements yet), so to set up the station as an “island platform” (as the name of this product directly suggests), it was necessary to use the classic blue Plarail R-15 Double Track Wide Turnouts.

Mr No…. question…. is this a new layout to replace the one in your other videos or do you have both set up on different sides of your porch?

Mister No

I arrange the layouts each time according to the trains that are being presented. (I can’t leave the layouts on the porch because of the very fickle weather here.) But I enjoy putting together these little layouts every time. I always change something, it’s fun. And I use them in more than one video. For example, for the previous two Thomas and Friends videos I used the same layout.

I arranged the layout for these Real Class trains with Real Class tracks and stations, but it will be used in four more videos for which I already have footage, but have not edited/released it yet.

By the way, did you notice that on the box for these Real Class trains they used both logos, the previous red and yellow and the new black logo?

Therefore, I think the old yellow-red logo will remain, and the new black one will be added only for Real Class trains and accessories, or for those special editions like the Harry Potter train…

TOMY PLARAIL 168: REAL CLASS SUBURBAN TRAIN SERIES 113
(EAST JAPAN RAILWAY - SHONAN COLOR)

Shonan color is a distinctive paint scheme of green and orange used on Japanese commuter trains. This classic livery is also known as the Shonan Red scheme, though it features bright green along with the orange. It is a well-known and nostalgic paint scheme associated with commuter trains in Japan.

NIGHT RIDE ON SERIES 113 YOKOSUKA COLOUR!

Super

I like how you waited for twilight to film Mr No 👍

Mister No

😊

First, I recorded materials for three videos: two about the Series 113 and one about the Series 201 (which I haven’t released yet). Then I tried to record a video of a night drive and, of course, noticed that almost none of the lights were visible in the footage (although a little was visible in real life). Then I decided to wait for sunset. The second half of the video (approximately) was recorded in almost complete darkness, although it’s not really visible, because the phone somehow “adds” a little light to the surroundings…

And one more thing: these Plarail single-speed motors that are also used in the Real Class Series are very fast, maybe even a little too fast for my taste. The OK chassis with lights that I borrowed from the EVA Shinkansen has 2 speeds, where the initial speed is very pleasant and not too fast.

Love the Symphony Mr No

Super

Nice sound effects Mr No. With all your collection do you keep the original boxes too?

Mister No

Most of my Plarail trains have their own boxes, except for a few I found on eBay without boxes. Mattel trains generally don’t have boxes anymore, because most trains (especially AEG) are impossible to remove from the packaging without destroying the box.

I generally notice that with Tomy everything (even sets) can be put back in the box, while with Mattel it is not possible, because the box has to be destroyed when opening or the sets themselves (especially large ones like the Super Tower) can no longer be disassembled (so-called 1-click joints), so they no longer fit in the box.
