Are the faces of the Bachmann HO scale Thomas locomotives just the same size as those of the trackmaster locomotives? (E.g. Would a trackmaster sir Handel or Peter sam face fit the Bachmann Thomas narrow gauge locomotives?)

A trackmaster face is way too big for a Bachmann narrow gauge engine.
Modeler of HO/OO, OO9 and N scale.  Hoping for N scale Henry, Edward and Duck.

Thanks for the reply. You have just saved me a ton of money! :)

Also, is a wooden railways face appropriate just for a Bachmann narrow gauge engine?

Some wooden railway faces will fit Bachmann standard gauge HO Thomas engines (eg. Thomas' wooden railway face, from what I've seen can fit a Bachmann Thomas) so I don't see any way the wooden railway Narrow Gauge engines would fit Bachmann narrow gauge engines, especially as in wooden railway, they use the same track gauge.

Yes, but can a Bachmann devious diesel use a wooden Sidney or Paxton face if it is converted into Sidney or Paxton? Also, would a trackmaster lady face just fit on a Bachmann locomotive?

It'd depend on the locomotive, but I'd assume it would. As for Sidney and Paxton, no clue.

This probably belongs in another topic, maybe the 2017 thread or something. I'm not going into why I don't see Lady happening, that would hijack this thread from its purpose, but everyone's got their wishes I guess. Personally I don't see Lady happening, but that's me, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

More specifically would a Thomas trackmaster face fit on the Bachmann Thomas? If not then what faces would fit specifically on the Bachmann Thomas? After all it's only him, James and Percy who need a face swap and they're redoing James soon anyways.

Trackmaster faces won't fit Thomas, Percy, or James, a Hornby face or a wooden railway face will fit Thomas though, as will a De Agostini one. Hornby Percy's face will fit Bachmann Percy. James's De Agostini will fit him.
