What do mean by an HO scale Day Out with Thomas?

Like lets say Strasbourg R. R. is your favorite day out with Thomas or like mine, the cuyahoga valley scenic railroad, or even your own,etc. then buy the coaches or make them your self and have your layout a day out with Thomas event!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh. If I did a Day Out with Tomas I would deffinately do the Strasburg RR. Only because I live in PA and I've been there. Plus it's where thy filmed the 10 years of Thomas DOWT scenes.

Hmmmm, don't see any copy wright problems... but I really don't want to sound for sure though. I Guess as long as you give credit to Hit... I really don't know

. If i were Hit, I would say as long as you don't make a profit, it'll be legal. If it does then ask for permission. I really don't know what to tell you but i don't see any problem. I am just going to use my 4 old Santa Fe coaches till i get some coaches to C.V.S.R. paint. I am going to base it off this year's day out with Thomas. Here's some pics.

P.S. Looking at this being expensive due to the power car(old army kitchen. learn this on C.V.S.R.com.) it's behind the B&O unit.

Ask 9911A E5, he's the one doing a museum, and we were talking about that a few months back.

At first, I though you were going to ask about IRM's real Day Out with Thomas thing, but hey, I'll ask him. He does have about $200.00 cash, but he's always saving it up for that one big purchase. I don't think he'll consider it yet. I have to try to get that little bugger more active on this forum.

Cheers,
Joshua

Oh yeah, I would do it, but I'm not sure N&W had Thomas...

that would be a great idea. a small video of the bachmann/hornby day out with thomas

jettrainfan · June 03, 2009, 09:07:13 PM

until i get the items i had some experimenting and here are the results! Budget:$250 happening.....2010 unless I get lucky! I probably will buy the diesel and Thomas By August

The site is under construction so if worse comes to worse then i will have to E-mail Them

. I want this to be as close as possible to the 2009 C.V.S.R. event as possible. So The B&O will be #800. What are your thoughts?

yes, i was trying to say that it will be easier than getting those coaches!

Don't remind me...

Here's an idea, why don't I start doing a mountain museum and have a Day Out With Thomas event for the grand opening?

I'm not kidding.
