I am just wondering if the wooden railways Phillip face is big enough for an HO scale model of him, or would the take-n-play model with a motor in it be a better choice for it?
I have brought alot of wooden Railway Thomas trains to my nephews and as far as I remember the faces was smaller than ho, but it also depends on which character it was. Havn't brought them a Philip. Don't know with the take-n-play though
I would just transfer his Take n' Play body onto a Gandy Dancer and add any details that you see necessary from there.
