Just wondering, what is the "life expectancy" of HO models, especially of Thomas and his friends? It'll be a shame if its not a lifetime :'(

Well it depends on how you treat them.  My Thomas has survived over eight years and I bought another so he would look new.  James was 8 too.  He became static and his eyes would pop side ton side with a heavy load. Percy is 8 and still running.  So just clean your rails every so often and wheels as well and you'll have a good run out of these engines.

It can last forever as long as you take care of it.
