It's been reported that Sir Toppham Hatt was sighted at Lionel HQ today approving the new VisionLine Thomas the Tank engine. Besides having quilling eyes, you will be able to change Thomas' face in real time using the Aux3 button on your Legacy controller.

It is expected that this engine will be the first Lionel train to break the $3500 price point. Extra care has been taken to insure the engines paint will be the prototypically correct shade of blue (see sample below) which a Lionel source calls the most accurate ever

As much as i'd like for the little blue buckaroo to become part of the vision lineup this "leak" is fake

for one ryan said that next year's vision engine is bigger than an A5. Thomas is smaller than an A5

and 3500 bucks for Thomas is highway robbery unless we discuss the props from the model series

my vision line phantom at 850 bucks has a much better chance than thomas

The rights to use Ringo Starr's voice for the cab chatter was the biggest expense in the development of this cheeky little engine.
