This article is about 'wind-up train range'. You may be looking for 'Mini Mini Plarail, Pocket Fantasy, Mini Die Cast Collection or Capsule Collection'.

Capsule Plarail (Japanese: カプセルプラレール) is a wind-up train system sold in Gacha machines which uses elements of Plarail by Tomy. The first Thomas range was released in Japan in 2000, with a new series released every few months. In 2013, the fiftieth series of the Capsule Plarail Thomas range was released.

In 2006 or 2007, some characters were released in other countries in blister packaging, but these were discontinued in 2009. The range was later released in Australia in 2010.

  • James' wheels are red on his red livery models, when they should be black.
  • Stefano, Flying Scotsman, and Beresford were all released in multiple sections rather than as one piece. This is because they are too large to fit into a single gashapon capsule.

  • The models for Edward, James and Duke have their tenders moulded with the cab, similar to Motorized Railway, Railway Pals and Minis.
  • Duke's models incorrectly depict him with buffers.
  • Jack's second smiling toy reuses his straining model therefor his face is smaller than his radiator.
