Super A Flat Drive Thomas??? I didn't know there was such a thing! [video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8Rn_SdsR4E[/video]
GreatGordonFan Yeah it very much exists. It was released in 2012 and was sold most notably in the greatest moments pack thomas with annie and clarabel
Super Thank you GG-Fan. Quite the odd one...is this rare or hard to find now? Were there Thomas's released after this one that reverted back to the compact Thomas motors?
PerkyHydrAan it's not really that rare, when i looked up listings, i don't think, there are any thomas' released with the compact motor anymore, though maybe more variations. I'm not sure. Some knockoffs also have the motor,
Super I had no idea that he was released so much with a flat drive. It doesn't look like one can tell the difference from just looking at the outside of Thomas to know if its the flat drive unit right, or don't I see it?
GreatGordonFan The very short switch and cg face make it pretty easy to tell apart from other trackmaster thomases (such as the 2010 one)
Super Wow, I am certainly not up on my Thomases thats for sure. Does the Flat Drive Thomas run better than the original motor?
GreatGordonFan There is also this secret 2012 thomas with unpainted buffers. However this is a counterfeit. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvhytHvifyI
