Identifying this different Plarail Thomas - jdogman - 07-15-2014

A few years ago this image was uploaded to the Thomas TrackMaster Wikia.

I have no clue as to what it exactly is, and doing a Google Image search with it didn't help, nor can I contact the uploader as he is not a regular contributor. I know that it is something different from the normal Plarail Thomas range as the trains have only been made in three-car combinations. It looks like it is purposely designed to look like a normal Thomas but isn't spot on as it's meant to do a different function, and you can see that the bunker/end cab/rear is removed for a purpose, but there's something that I can't make out on it but I think I have just realised that it is a pack of candy as it is normal for toys in Japan to include candy. You can also see the Yujin logo which is a subsidiary which mostly does Gachapon capsule vending machines and promotions. So, does anyone think on here that they can help me?

looks like you have answered your own question as it is a Thomas candy dispenser, made by Yujin.

Candy Dispenser I think ,but a interesting item.

Thank you, can't believe I didn't work it out sooner Rolleyes Do we know its full name for it? All I can make out is "something Go". Tongue That's a pretty interesting, I wonder if there were much more like it, although I know that there is already regular Plarail accessories, household items, and T-shirts, just not much Thomas.

No, despite all my ebay (that "dreaded site") searches.

Really haven't noticed or looked but if I do see one I will let you know. Are they small or are a pull and go?


RE: Identifying this different Plarail Thomas - plarnold - 11-06-2015

It's a spring-loaded (pull and go) toy that carries lollies/candy. If you look closely, the white tablets are Ramune (Japanese lemonade) candy.

It is compatible on Plarail tracks.

I hope this helps! Smile
