Sweet Shop Thomas - Nigels - 03-28-2019
While on my hols in Wales I came across a sweet shop (candy for you colonials) which had this Thomas on display in the window advertising some of their wares, I'm guessing this is a Bachmann 'G' scale model, but nice regardless (apologies for the reflections but I only had my phone on me

I love a bit of internet detective work............
Here's another view of the same shop window, from Google Streetview, September 2018.

Should of had it running around a loop! After all, what is widely credited as one of the first electric trains was built to be a store window display!

I didn't know you were that close Chris, I'm actually up in Borth just to the north of Aber :-)
Maybe I need to check out the inside of the shop, they might have one running inside lol

I never knew there was a G scale Thomas series. I’ve managed to get photos of some of the studio models, which are roughly 1/32 scale and surprisingly large. I can’t imagine how big G scale would be!
RE: Sweet Shop Thomas - TrainMan2001 - 03-30-2019
The G Scale Thomas models are made by Bachmann and are 1:22.5 scale. The trucks are each around 12 inches long. There was also a tiny range of G scale Thomas models made by Lionel, but they didn't look much like they did in the show, but they still have charm in their own way.
