Don’t see it making much of a difference. I’m pretty sure they can be
kitbashed into 8-wide scale, at least, if not 6. You might yet see it on 9V
track, but in MOC form.

Many many MOC versions of Thomas and his friends already exist for 9v and
12v, in 6 wide and probably wider. Or are you specifically thinking of
taking the Duplo Thomas parts and reusing them to build a system scale
model?
|
I can’t speak for Samarth, but I was thinking of just that, because it’s a
LEGO face... no more non LEGO or stickers or whatever.

It would be much easier is the face disk was a separate piece from the rest of
the boiler. But it looks like the face is part of a single front piece.

There are four engine pieces to Percy. And the number of pieces on the box
add up too. Too bad.
I would also like very much to a 9-v Thomas set.

What bugs me, is that non of these sets are powered. Thery all apear to use the
older 3 axle steam wheelset. But at least they get drive rods. And the short
wheelset for the tender is nice.
Also, I found it interesting that non of the models shown were built correctly.
They all had thier wheel set bricks reversed.
