It's odd that they are only shown with a single car, as to suggest that they are from Little Friends packaging (engine w/1 car) , but the images that leaked out months ago showed them in Greatest Moments (engine w/2 car) formats.
Play nice & have fun!!

Lexi is an absolutely must have. Her design is one of the best designs I have seen from trackmaster 2 and is probably the only Model that looks great and is accurate to the movie. Harvey doesn't look appealing to me but it is still good that they released him, would've rathered Frankie though
These are the same pictures that CarnforthJinty Posted about back on August 27th (one page back). ? Are they available now or out in Australia?
I would like to pick up one of those Lexi when available as I already have a good idea on a major modification. What I am curious about is why he isn't coming with a tenders as the cab forwards steamers do?
Thanks for reminding me about that! I actually had him in my cart, got distracted by family stuff and totally forgot about it!

I had the impression that the truck she’s hauling is a tender of sorts. IIRC, her prototype was an experimental oil burner, so those might be oil and water tanks. I guess more research is in order!

Well them being an oil burner makes sense as it didn't dawn on me that if it were coal it would be difficult to get the coal to the firebox since that is now in the front. Still all the pictures I have seen have the tenders looking pretty normal like coal ones except they are sealed where the oil is in one side and water in the other. Although I did see some unusual looking tenders like the one pictured so maybe Lexi follows a different design.
Wow! Lexi actually looks really good! It's a shame Harvey looks kinda ugly though, i'd have thought the shorter drive unit would've helped fit a motor in him rather than hinder his overall porportions making him look even more stretched out than the Trackmaster version.
