Hello John,

Very nice. Two questions:

1) Where can I get a Duplo Thomas engine? - I’m not seeing them listed on S@H anywhere.

2) What color blue did LEGO use for the engine?

Thanks,

Ben Fleskes Big Ben Bricks LLC

I had gotten into the habit of firing off an email to Brad Justus every 6 months or so when he was still heading up LEGO Direct begging for TLG to get a license for producing Thomas the Tank Engine. He was always good about writing back and thanking me for the reminder! About six years later, he (Thomas, not Brad:-) arrived at my door step.

Okay, so he’s Duplo, but that didn’t tarnish my excitement in the least. The bright side is that he’s 8 wide! :-)

(...) Hey, Ben! They have been sighted at various TRU and also from TRU online (Amazon.com) (...) It is the regular LEGO blue. Percy, OTOH, is the lighter LEGO green, which is the correct color for him. JOHN (20 years ago, 9-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, FTX)
