Blue Plastic Tracks

More so with a Layout where there are 2 different Loops crossing with 2 trains.

I would have to assume that the springs would lose tension after 45 years in the stretched position like they are in the package.

Family Travel Salon Car, EL-06

Nice video Vio. Love those Salon cars although If I had some loose used ones I would be making some modifications LOL

Getting used ones are not as easy, say around 8000 yen on Mercari or more than 13000 on Yahoo Auctions. Good luck.

I have seen them much cheaper than that. I have noticed them sometimes on large Lots too but you are right they aren't that easy to find.

C-12かもつれっしゃ, C-12 Freight Train. Took long to upload because the motor was dead inside.

That train is in such great condition for its age. I like that On/Off switch on this, is this an exclusive switch only found on this C-12? I also like the car which has so much details to it, more-so than any other plastic Plarail car I remember seeing and it has working wheels. A great little set.

This switch is also in the EF-66 double couplings. The car is the same one in D51きしゃ, also is quite a rare vehicle.

弁慶号プラレールセット, Benkei Plarail Set.

Great pick up Vio. I was always drawn to this set. Yours is in pretty good condition except for the box top being a little rough.

When they released the remake of the Yoshitsune 7100 - 7105 around 2016 I always thought they used the same mold. I don't think I have ever noticed a piece of track that had the old Boy & Girl Tomy Logo on it like the Stop & Go piece in this set. I see all the track pieces other than the U-Turn pieces are smooth surface but the train doesn't seem to lose any traction going around. Love that station.

Curious as to why the set includes those 2 track adapter pieces but I don't see the need for them in your the Layout. Is the 'clacking' normal?
