I'm with you Super on the yellow wheels as you know, but I have to say on this particular model the yellow wheels don't look out of place. Whether it is because of the overall white/yellow scheme or the plain nature I don't know, but it does in this instance work fine.
I recently scored a Virgin train along with 7 thomas types in a bit of a bulk purchase for all of about £40 ~ $60, seemed reasonable as it came with track and stuff too and that the Virgin train on its own seems to go for £20-30 over here in the UK
Finally for the graphics, did you know it is possible to buy sheets of water-slide decal material? It is available in transparent/white backing and in versions for both inkjet and laser printers. Apparently you just print the graphics as standard then apply a transparent coat of laquer (same as used on metallic car paint apparently) and lo-behold your own custom decals.
Now where do I get some 1:1 scans of the decals used on Thomas etc... trains so the old ones with tenders can be truly renovated - perhaps even made better lol!
Cheers, Nigel
