Mixing Thomas and Friends coaches with standard engines

[Rollin Mayham]

Well reading threw the posts I notice a lot of you don't really care for the Thomas and friends items in Large scale however did you know that you could mix the 2-4-2 LYN-southern with the Emily Coaches from Thomas and Friends Section they look great together unless you are a detail expert and expect the interior to be their but you can make interior just wanting to let you guys know.

Sir - you are totally right- they DO look good together, in fact, one of the group that I play trains with has made up such a train.   To most folks, the difference in scale is more than compensated for by the overall 'quaint look' of the train.

The 'real' passenger cars that match the 'Lyn' are, with the exception of the brand-new 'heritage' cars, pretty dull, being an unrelieved sort of Pullman green  The 'Emily' cars are not only good to look at, but all three can be bought for not a lot more than just one of the 'proper' cars.
