Hey Ya'll

Are there alot of people who own, want or have ordered any trains from Lionel's Thomas Line?

James would have to be my favorite Character. Thomas is next, and poor Percy is the last. My favorite colors are Red and Blue, so that's why I like James and Thomas best.

Yes, purchased the Thomas set last spring, my grandkids love it....The eyes move back and forth when moving, has forward/reverse, no smoke, whistle thats sounds good. Paid $135.00 for the set, only kept the train, sold the track and transformer. Not the best quality product on the market, but for the price, it's OK....

I (the granddaughters) have one of the sets from the first year they came out. It originally hadn't a reverse/neutral but I added an electronic e-unit. I think there may have been some other set(s) with e-units since there was a "bracket" molded into the body, made installation easy.

I have the new Thomas set. The kids love it. I like it because it is so different from all the other trains on the market.

I bought the New Thomas Starter Set for my Granddaughter for Christmas and she loves it, she really likes the Annie Car because that is her name too. I have a New Grandson born February 5th and will surely purchase a Thomas set for him for this Christmas.
