Bachmann Thomas & Percy - 09/02/10 05:27 PM ( #1 )
Now whether you want these for the Kids, your inner kid or for conversion to something else this might help.
 
Well initial impression was what fantastic value for money at under £100 each from Dragon.
They are a bit light but as they are intended to pull just a few wagons or a couple of coaches that's not a major issue.
Thomas   2lb 10oz   or  1.2kg
Percy 2lb 8oz   or  1.14kg
 
They are certainly chunky and halfway between Scale and narrow gauge really so they aren't going to be suitable for finescale conversions.
Faces can be removed to be replaced with a proper door, as shown in Vsmiths thread.
 
Here are some pics with a ruler for scale
