S.C. Ruffey Gondola

The Thomas and Friends Large Scale line by Bachmann, is a line of products is exclusively based on the CGI style of the show, from the faces, to the logos on the rolling stock. A quick history note to add is 'S.C.Ruffey' is the leader of the Troublesome Trucks, so his welcome into the range is appreciated, the face is very accurate, the lettering is printed crisply on both sides, but alas, once again: It's not based on anything in CGI. It's a larger version of the HO scale rolling stock, which hasn't been seen since the model time of the series. The product is nice, but it just doesn't match the CGI line up that the rest of the the range has to offer. It's a great product, but made for the wrong time period. This was only made to get a quick buck for recolouring an already existing tooling of a rolling stock piece.
