Fun fact about the couplers on this Thomas; it has secret NEM pockets! Pretty much all of Bachmann’s uniquely tooled Thomas stock in N or OO9 has them, with the only exceptions being outsourced tools like the old OO9 box vans or the N Scale tankers (which i love regardless and forum-goers are needlessly rude to lol). It goes totally unadvertised, but all you have to do to make your Thomas work with USA-outline stock is yank out the Rapido couplers and plug in some of Dapol’s dummy knuckle couplers that they include with most of their engines and rolling stock (I believe these are separately sold as well). As a major N Scale fan, I’m glad to see you taking a look at these! I hope you like them lol
I have one of the Japanese Tomix Thomas the tank engine locomotives. This looks a lot easier to convert to dcc that the Tomix one. Mine does have a TCS Z2 decoder in mine.

Do you think it's possible to fit Thomas with some lights where the lamps are or is that too small?
I think they’re way too small for that unfortunately. But it would be fun to try it!
Nice Video. Will Percy Be The Next N Scale Locomotive You Review. Just Asking
Honestly not sure yet
