Thomas & Friends Exhibition

[thomasfan11]

Well the original models will be on static display on the on the layout. And I have heard that either Salty or one of Percy's models will be on the display. I kinda wish that one of James and Emily's models were on the layout.

I think salty will be on Jew to them adding Brendon. And about the replicas are the rolling stock going to be replicas

 

[Steamenginelover]

I guess most of the rolling stock will be the original models, but I guess there might be some rolling stock replicas. I am just guessing.

I wish they had Annie and clarbel on the exhibition

And does this mean they will be a replica Thomas running but the original on the layout. So will they be two off every thing?

Does anyone know why Merrick was moved from the middle of blue Mountain quarry to the side of it?

I think she being restored. It's just a guess. And Hank and Class 40 (or D261) were too big to work on the tight bends of the original layout.

At a guess, I’d say sightline issues from the ops cabin, isn’t that the reason the gave for removing the table on Drunken Barrels too?

I thought it was a maintenance nightmare as every time it needed servicing it had to be moved from the centre of the ride.
