   Speaking of Thomas Train. . . I know this is horribly off-topic and Larry is going to want my head for this, but my 2 year old really enjoys playing with the wooden toys. I was wondering if any of you train guys knew a good place to buy the Thomas Train wooden toys and/or a fan site for the toys so I can make more informed buying decisions.

Also I remember someone did a Lego Thomas Train. Any links?

lol someone? Everyone has:-) Personally, you can check out mine HERE and HERE

Hey, what did you use for the faceplate? That doesn’t look very pure to me.

lol Well, I never claimed that a few of them might not be pure;-)

Actually, those are faces (Thomas and Percy) from 2 wind-up Ertl trains I “borrowed”;-) They are the perfect size, and they served to calm the cherubs at train shows who would at first exclaim with glee, “LOOK DADDY/MOMMY! Thomas!” but in the next breath query (with mild horror) “Where is Thomas’s face?” :-)

I am convinced that, one day, TLC will get around to licensing Thomas with HIT and the point will become mute;-) Come to think of it, TLC has already licensed Bob the Builder, so maybe it is already in the works...

(shudder) Could Barney be far behind? :-)
