File:Plarail S-29 C12 SL unboxing review and first run (day of the C12's)

Hi Guys and Gals here we have the C12 SL with stripes S-29 and a run with his 2 brothers!

I bought this Locomotive on ebay quite a while ago (last year) i originally bought 2 but I was refunded for one because he could not get anymore stock so this is probably one the last ever sold on ebay that is NIB. A lovely tank steam engine of the C12 model which in real life is a 2-6-2 locomotive and around 280 were produced and went on to lead very productive lives.

The engine runs on a C size battery but as you will see in the video it can run fine on a AA size if it does not get bumped allot, it runs extremely well and is super silent as well as being quite fast compared to his brothers (his brothers were both running a C size though).

Appearance wise it lacks some painted details of my other version like whistles and light and smokebox door handle but it makes up for it with the lovely industrial looking warning stripes on the front and back, the red wheels may put some off but I see it as a salute to the origins of plarail where red and yellow wheels were common. The only disappointment was that one of the C12 stickers on the side of the loco was missing and I doubt i will ever be able to get a correct replacement.

the C12 comes with a blue coach and a brown coach featuring painted on tail lamps and a removable roof for plakids to have a ride inside, this suits me well because I have both blue and brown coaches in my rollingstock :D

I enjoyed running the 3x C12's together and it is something that looked as great in person as it did on video.

The next video will be Trackmaster Molly in the coming week.

Thanks for watching!!
