Well, that didn’t take long. I made a few changes to my ever-evolving Thomas, and here they are.

I used that new curved slope piece for the roof. I took a pic of it alone, but it turned out fuzzy. I’ll have to re-shoot it. The bummer part about it is that it is hollow. But I guess that means you can turn it upside down and use it as some sort of scooper, so whatever.

Also, there was some murmuring going on here about no driver rods (hi, Tim!), so Ross finished apply for college and worked one up for me-- he also geared the wheels together. Not really necessary because I wanted this MOC as just a static display, especially since I have another Thomas in the works. It will be using the larger BBB wheels and be powered by the PF motor (not sure which one yet). This one is going to be a show-stopper! :-d
