File:TOMY Plarail Japanese Rocky and Percy (surprised look) Unboxing review and first run.

Hey all I got this off ebay for around US$25 I mainly got it for the unique percy but I am happy with the overall package.

Rocky is a rail based crane who is used to rerail engines, trucks, cars etc after they have accidents. He is permanently coupled to his front truck which is a bit different from the break down train of old. It also travels allot better than the old green breakdown train. The arm moves up and down and the body swings around in a full circle. There are white wheels with pistons on either side and although these spin I could not find their true purpose when I filmed this. The end of the crane arm the hook thingy does not seem to extend and trying to pull some string out was not getting any result.

Percy with surprised face looks absolutely superb, he has all the detail all round that I have never seen in a TOMY or Trackmaster percy, the white running plate, black leaf springs, moulded white lamp at the back of his cab and Black coal bunker top. I feel this is the best Percy that I have ever seen and I hope this level of detail will continue with future models.

The Percy runs very fast for such a small engine and pulls very well, Rocky had absolutely no problems negotiating the tricky yard section in the middle of my railway and neither of these ever derailed during the filming of this vid.

Overall I give this a 9/10 Percy looks great as does Rocky but I do feel its a "cash in" character as there was already a perfectly fine breakdown train. They do look great together though but I do feel that this rocky will just end up in a siding for a long time, as its not the sort of train that would normally run allot on my railway (I go for realism in my childs toys LOL)

Anyways Thanks for watching!! Let me know what you think of the new trackwork :D
