the decos etc on thomas, old slow coach and the rolling stock is impressive. the truck with a load wobbles from side to side. very kool to watch.
we are having a club open day in a few months. i will take this set and a basic layout. possibly something with a bridge to highlight the wobbling truck.
photos of this amazing set are here
i saw on the takara facebook group that there is battery operated CHUGGINGTON coming this year. they seem to be the same scale as thomas. i will be buying a few of these. at least koko, brewster and wilson, possibly zephi and emery as well. will have to see how they look.
