Hi Guys and Gals here today we have the Plarail Shuppo train having a quick run, Shuppo means Choo choo but it is not a direct translation I believe. Someone very knowledgeable said this locomotive was a plarail store Japan exclusive item, and as such is very rare indeed. I'd like to thank the youtube user ToysTrainsThings for finding it and selling it to me at a very reasonable price. check out his channel full of awesome trains and some amazing customs here: youtube.com/user/ToysTrainsThings
So a very rare locomotive and an unusual shape that is almost identical to the Disney trains and the Pokemon train, this does not however have the flags on the running plate, it runs very well and is quite fast!
This loco has a blue capped motor which I could see just behind the wheels through a small gap, this would lead me to believe its not just an ordinary motor fitted to this one as the caps are usually white and sometimes yellow. This locomotive runs on a C size battery which is held in the tender, for this video I ran it on a AA battery with a spacer underneath.
I am super happy to have it in my collection and it was my pleasure to show all you youtubers this loco!
Thanks heaps for watching and remember to check out ToysTrainsThings channel you can see things like custom Sidney and hot rod Thomas! he does some fantastic work :D
