Thoughts on the "tender powered" engines.

Thanks for that video LaG. Its easy to see the differences there even though they aren't too different.

If I were into the Thomas trains (which I am not) I would really like a modification project where I took that R/C Molly and made her into a normal, engine driven, model. I don't think it would take much, just a little rewiring and the removal some of the components from inside the engine and tender. The R/C version looks a bit taller...will she fit under a riser?

Another thing I would do to her is...collect a few junkers to remover the yellow and white wheels and swap them with those black ones on the Tender. Maybe in the show the Tender has black wheels but I think she would look so much better if all (tender & engine) were those same unique wheels.

Speaking of wheels...are there any other trains where they have made wheels like these where the body is one color and the rim is another??? I think they look cool and would love to use this style on customs.

Another wheel question...Is Molly supposed to have large wheels like Emily in the show?

Big surprise to me...a little wooden engine costs $20...wow, I had no idea.
