So is the 1 plank wagon the container wagon or the 6 ton?
And it looks like Edward will have cattle trucks and Thomas will have green trucks.

Very nice Mr. B!  I am really looking forward to getting these!  The pics are very good.

There ya go...   

Hmmm...  Take Along Ned fits well, and so do TA Max and Monty.  George and wooden Alfie might.  Well wagons for 00 gauge are about an inch wide, so...

That looks pretty brilliant, I didn't know you could buy layout kits like that! May I ask how much it cost?

Total of making this layout would cost ...
track pack- $82.50
kit for layout:$498
Buildings: $198

Alright everyone.  I got a Jack and tested it for you all...   Jack fits somewhat one the flatbed, but the take alongs still fit better.

Sounds good!   

This topic is for chat about scratch building Thomas engines only.   


Presently, I am working on a Whiff for 00 scale.  I got the wooden model and I have the chassis in progress.  Also I am working on a Hector with the wooden model as well.  I am using a body of a hopper wagon from Bachmann Branchline.  I am going soon to the shop to buy decals to make  H-E-C-T-O-R.   Billy for me will have to wait.  But I did a study and figured out what engines are possible to make. 

the take along ones fit very well.

Well, I bought the Walther's reference catalouge and it says this:
Edward: $64
Mavis:  $43
All NEW Wagons: $17


Usually, Bachmann takes the engine's happiest and uses it.

Sweet!  Hahaha.  Cant wait!

Btw mate, thanks for putin me in your sig! 

Well, I am hoping to get Emily and some wagons.  Preferably the cattle, salt, and open wagons.  I also am hoping to get Edward as well.  I'm a season 1-7 fanatic, what can I say?

Wow, wonder what Stanley is...

Well  the bottom James is the discontinued G sclae James.  He had 3 faces as well, but they were , :O , and 

They made Thomas Annie and Clarabel along with the troublesome truck with 3 faces.  Now, for Lionel, they have a total of 4 engines.  Thomas, Percy, James and Diesel.  I think Bachmann is good with HO/OO scale.  They bigger ones are too expensive for most and HO allows more room which means more engines and wagons and accesories.
