Jan 26th, 2019: Plarail

I have a vague idea of what’s going on here, but not a clue as to why.
These guys built a complete working model of the Tokyo subway system using Plarail.


Wiki says...
Quote:
Plarail (プラレール, Purarēru), pronounced in English as Play rail is a toy train and plastic track system made by Tomy and introduced in Japan in 1959.
It was expanded into a battery-operated electric toy train system in October 1961. Plarail is not compatible with most other brands of model railway, although as it has a similar rail gauge to the wooden toy train systems, rolling stock may run on both systems to some degree.


As you can see this thing takes up a lot of room, so it’s not like a model railroad in someone’s basement that just gathers dust,
and stuff gets stacked on it until you decide what to do with it.
A lot of work for a short term existence.


You won’t get to see it but you can ride it. Toot Toot.
