New Shooting Star Gordon & Stream Lined & Steam Thomas

[Super]

While he looks excellent and runs great, I do think they should've just used the same drive unit as normal Thomas to make him the same length, because he's too long compared to it.

Interesting thought, so I looked up the new Oigawa James to see what chassis type it used because it is a smaller model but couldn't find that info. I assume it is the same as the Oigawa Thomas because it to is smaller. Although I can't see exactly the motor configuration I will guess its the same as the original but with the battery entry from the bottom as pictured below...

NO! You can't use that for Logan and Raul. It doesn't even look remotely good for making those two tiny engines. It looks just right for making Ivan because his proportions are very similar to it (and at least one person already did and it looks very good), but how on Earth does that look anything like these two to you?

I could see the possible reasoning for using the HD300 Hybrid for the base of a custom Logan. Removing the hand rails all around, reshaping the long diesel nose (if this can be done with what might be underneath) and maybe extending the Cab back might work. I do love the looks of Logan and wish he was more popular in the series so Plarail would either make a model of him (so I can deface him ) or make a model of the real one which would even be better.
