Well, the way I saw it, I was faced with 4 options:
- Literally cut off Thomas’ and the others’ faces and glue them to my current MOC cast. That way they would all be, at least, ALL LEGO. (I can hear RobH cheering for that option in the background already!)
- Take just the face element and recreate my MOC Thomas characters in 8 wide.
- Remove the 9 volt track from the TCLTC Thomas section and lay Duplo track, and power the trains via batteries somehow.
- Remove the Duplo wheels and replace them with 9 volt ones.
I finally chose the last option. No cutting (sorry, Rob!;-), simple
modifications, giving the GP virtually a product out of the box to see and,
hopefully, to purchase. Now, if TLG has the wisdom to release 9 volt
versions, I’ll be all over those in a heartbeat!

SWEET! I have been thinking about doing something very similiar since I first
saw the preview pictures. John, you might get me to go 8-wide after all. ;-)

| Well, my prayers have been finally answered (sorta:-) I had gotten into the habit of firing off an email to Brad Justus every 6 months or so when he was still heading up LEGO Direct begging for TLG to get a license for producing Thomas the Tank (...)
