Nice.
Kinda tall, though, and definitely has some rare parts in it!
Maybe we (1) ought to work up a canonical Thomas design that can be whipped
out quickly, doesn't take any rare parts, and looks fairly good (unless
you're an 8 wide aficionado, in which case you're on your own).
If we (1) pulled together a page of links to all the known Thomases that
might be a good start.
1 - that's the managerial "we"... i.e. I thought of it, but someone else
ought to go do it and then I'll critique the effort and take credit later
for having thought of it... :-)
