I have to agree, these models are extremely good, I love that Percy, just like in the books.

I would really like to see photos of all your models Henryblue, where could they be seen, if there are any?

:-)

Duncan should not be able to run on the same rails as Thomas should he..?

The US term is a wheel truck, apparently!

Wooooah there kiddies, I think this should be left alone before it just becomes people being nasty to each other!We're all different, with different opinions, let's just get along....!

After all, it's only a Thomas Message Board - real life still goes on 

Be happy

I'm sure she must have bogies (in the wheel sense, not the nasal sense), otherwise she'd have a little trouble with curves..!

I wonder what the Bach Man's job is... (I mean the Bach Man who posts on here)... I'm guessing his main job is not talking to people on the forums, so what do you think it is?

What are these Take Along things of which you all speak?

That looks pretty brilliant, I didn't know you could buy layout kits like that! May I ask how much it cost?

Oh! Works when I click on it..!

They look well cool for tiny spaces! :-(

I have to say, that Lionel range could be better... given their size, they could have made them more detailed and more like the TV series models, which they are clearly meant to be based on... they just look a little too... toylike, I mean I know they are toys but... well I know what I mean.

Why do they have 3 rails? 

Erm I don't know! I read on this forum that someone put metal bars in theirs so I just assumed there was room somewhere!

I also want Mavis, though if they use the prototype that they already make (Class 04 shunter) then she will be 1:76 scale :-)

I think I am going to try and add front couplers to Thomas and Percy, they really would be better with them!

She will have one I am sure, after the first 3 models (Thomas Percy and James) Bachmann started having front couplers on all the trains!

Hey, I would like to add some weight to James as he can't even manage 2 of my coaches!

Thing is, I have lost the sheet that tells you what you need to unscrew to remove his chassis, and I'm scared of taking him to bits the wrong way and not getting him back together again!

If anyone can help I would be very grateful :-)

Thanks guys

Martin
