Here is a closer look.

The fella has clearance going under a rail but will have to duck to make it through a riser.

Wow, I could see where a youngster would have loads of fun with this giant. Impressed with how much cool steam he can produce if that is in fact how much the real, retail, one will actually produce. I am curious if the motorized Thomas that comes with the set (is he included?) is somehow different like a different stickers or for Muddy, a different expression.

Thanks for the heads up Mr No!

Based on the packaging (see the red circle), it doesn't appear it will come with a motorized Thomas.

It only comes with the green tip truck, a shovel and a bunch of the black balls (sorry I don't know the proper terminology to describe those balls). Not that people mind that much given most of us has so many motorized Thomas in our inventory lol.

Too bad this thomas doesn't let off the steam on the side as well. Otherwise it would be awesome.

Seems like they are attempting to revive that one giant Thomas from the early to mid 2000's.

The Dummy engines chassis has a plate on the front left side that will accommodate a PlaKid. This is not found on any other DD51 or DE10 Chassis (interchangeable) at all including any motorized chassis. Can't tell from the picture if this fella will be decapitated when going under bridges, through tunnels or risers though.

This is an awesome looking release if I still bought Plarail I would be all over this Sad

There is also this Rainbow Thomas set with the Rainbow Bridge and rainbow tracks... That bridge we have seen already in a set with Bertie, but this is a new set, isn't it?

Oh I want this one!!

That's actually really cool, that they re-released it and they kept it exactly the same as the 2015 version, which I do have, so I won't need this.
Can this set a precedent for more re-releases?
