| Even though the engine is 8 wide, it may still be possible to make this one work as a 6 wide. I'm curious as to what Kevin will think. Robin (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

|
| Kevin, I came across this page, which has a very pretty little train (especially the face) that could easily be adapted for Thomas. It's still 6 wide, and quite recognizable as a face (I think).
