Thomas & Friends / UK (12Vollt DC) vs US operating
January 31, 2008, 12:35:38 PM
This might appear to be a REAL STUPID question but I have to ask it... I was looking at purchasing Thomas Engines on eBay from the UK. I was told the UK Thomas Trains run off of 12Volt DC & the train would not operate with standard US transformer.....
I am confused, can anyone help with this??

Hi Bach Man
I have been reading the strings and viewing the UK Bachman engines. It appears to me that Bachmann has the ability to release most ANY Thomas engine providing Bachmann is willing to step up and "redesign" a few EXISTING stock engines that are currently available in the UK market place. The finesse required to take a UK engine & make it a Thomas charachter doesn't appear all that difficult. Most of the inner works are already there!! I am waiting on Mavis to be released, I am sure we all are HOWEVER if the wait is much longer I will build one of my own. The gentleman who made Salty, GREAT job and thanks to all for the info on how Salty can be built!! I think more & more sctach building is going to take place thus intrest in mass produced product might be limited.
Just a though from a newbe to Thomas
