(...) 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 (19 years ago, 9-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, FTX)

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 (...) <snip> (...) (19 years ago, 9-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, FTX)

(...) Yes, but how much clearance does one need? These ties are simply 1x4 tiles on the LEGO ties. If you need more clearance that, you also probably need more time at the design table;-) Out of curiousity, to what "other stuff" might you be (...)

(...) Also, don't those sleepers mean less ground clearance for the motor (and other stuff)? Legoswami (19 years ago, 7-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, FTX)

(...) Great. Since a 100k pic is worth 100k of words, I'll post some to show how (along with some pics for my son Ross' solution for points, as requested elsewhere) JOHN (19 years ago, 7-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the pics! I must say they look pretty good, even with the squishing. I have an unrelated question though: How do those 1-wide sleepers work in curves? ROSCO (19 years ago, 6-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, FTX)

(...) I am probably going to have to add a section on modifying the Duplo sets to 9v since it is a new and easy way to get Thomas for a club/layout. Russell (19 years ago, 6-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, FTX)
