With the Thomas and Friends Large Scale line by Bachmann, this seems more like they didn't know what they wanted to do with the range at first. This line of products is exclusively based on the CGI style of the show, from the faces, the logos on the rolling stock. This product is great, until you look at the face: It's not based on anything in CGI. It's a larger version of the HO Scale truck's face, which hasn't been seen since the model time of the series. The face is nice, but it just doesn't match the CGI line up that the rest of the the range (Minus S.C. Ruffey, and the Tar Tanker) has to offer. It's a great product, but made for the wrong time period.
