Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Percy The Small Engine
Peep-peep! Here comes Percy the little steam engine from the ever-popular Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends book series and television's Shining Time Station (based on The Railway Series by Reverend W. Awdry). With its rounded corners and larger features, this chunky-styled Percy is designed for little hands. Made of lightweight plastic and sporting rubber-trimmed tires, Percy, the youngest and most eager engine in the station, heads off down the tracks with his traditional three-dimensional smiling face. A rear coupling prong allows Percy to pull freight and passenger cars of his same chunky style. The 4.5-inch-by-2.5-inch engine has an axle width of 1.75 inches and fits plastic tracks designed for the My First Thomas train series. This toy does not fit the standard 1.5-inch wooden tracks. --Kathryn Gustafson

Jah Thomas - Jump Around & Dance Pon The Corner
Jah Thomas produced some of my favorite reggae tunes in the 1980's, but as a DJ, I find he is very under rated. I don't have a lot of singles by Jah Thomas, but the few I have are all excellent!
In his left hand, we have "Jump Around" a hype track on the 'Diseases" riddim. Long before House of Pain, Thomas was DJ'ing the truth about staying physically fit.
"Jump around, jump around, there's a new style around"
On the other hand, we have "Dance Pon The Corner" a great tune over the Real Rock riddim.
"Shoes 'pon your feet you have to rock to the beat"
Needless to say, Thomas was a prolific artist and producer whom I would recommend everyone to listen to at least once.
10 Wide LEGO Thomas
Here is my version of Thomas in 10 wide! He utilizes large BBB wheels (blind fronts), the face of the Duplo Thomas, and the new PF train motor and rechargeable battery. I began this MOC years ago, but only finished it yesterday, with the help of my son Ross.
It's a great scale at which to build; if I had the desire, I'd create more characters like this. Maybe I will some day, but until then I have other projects that I need to finish:-)
