(...) Even we 8 wide aficionados build Thomas characters 6 wide; they are toys, and need to look smallish. Good idea, though, Lar. I'll have to post some pics of my Thomas with the 12 volt motor in it. -John (...) (24 years ago, 20-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

The camera and battery pack were sloppily thrown onto a train car..Hopefully, after dissecting the camera, I will find a better way to build it into a train. I would like for it to be pretty (...)

(...) Cool; I've got a question. Where did you get the 54 1x4 Tiles? The only brown tiles I own are from the 5986 Amazon Ancient Ruins, and they're 1x2. Were they spray-painted? Did you get them from the Adventurers? (I've only got 4 Dino-Island (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) It's not. The most "accurate" would be from the first book. Thomas is based on a LBSC E2 tank, but the artist who orginally did the paintings was NOT a railway artist. Therefore, as long as it has 6 wheels, and is blue, it is reasonable. As (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

Nice work, Mike- I too watched Twister tonite but did no work:-( I see you have decided to use the 4.5 volt red plate with buffers on which to base your Thomas. I did the same on mine, and I think it's a mixed blessing. It ends up compressing him (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
