lol “Super Thomas”

I am impressed with the PF motor, although the initial investment was rather steep. Ross and I have been talking about using the PF train motor in conjunction with the 9 volt motor, getting its power from the tracks via the 9 volt motor, instead of a battery pack.

As far as scale goes: yeah, it’s big; it will look more at home with my 14 wides:-)
