Actually, Gary, I think that they may well be the same as those used
in the Lego train Line during the same era.  These two pictures seem
to confirm that at least the yellow and black parts are the same; I
suspect the red one is also:

I am no Lego train expert, but I think that they are different in that the
Thatcher Perkins Locomotive is much much larger than any of the Lego Train
locomotives.  The Thatcher Perkins was a "model" kit, and not a part of • the
Lego Train System.  They used the large spoked wheels (4x4), and are much
larger than any of those wheels used by Lego Trains.

Does that help.
