well that project requires some coupler adjustments, hard work, dedication and detail.
I do not know if Kadee carries the right knuckle couplers for thomas, but the right coaches can do, the coaches have to be special attraction coaches (a.k.a mixed coaches) so it looks detailed, plus if you have a local train club in your town i would suggest you go there. and  you have to have some HO scale track plan for this project. hope this helps.

OK, everything is already planned. It will go around my layout till i get the money for the new station. I was going to use my 4 Santa Fe coaches for the job till i specialize some coaches to Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad coaches. I was wondering how much Thomas can pull. :)

well that depends on the coaches couplers, are they knuckle or horn hook? plus 4 coaches will be enough so if they are Life-Like coaches they can work.

Well.... knuckle and No they are actually 1980's coaches. I got them off ebay but has been over 90 days so don't remember. no markings.
