Talking Thomas and Sodor Island Set

I was looking at this set, and after realizing that the Thomas in this set is Tender Driven, you could possibly replace it with the motorized Annie from either the second generation Plarail Talking Thomas



Or you could replace it with the faster Motorized Annie from either the Plarail or Tomy Steam Along Thomas Trains with minor modifications to the coupling.





I think with any of these modifications it would make the set much more appealing, enjoyable and most importantly realistic to the show.
