News: Current Thomas goings on

I wanted to give an overview of what's been happening in the Thomas world of late.

1. Thingamababy has a fantastic "review" of a battery powered Thomas train. I quote "review" because it's as much of a "how to set up a train table" as it is a review. I particularly appreciate that he took the time to take pictures and comment them.
2. CJ Sorg blogs about his trip to see Thomas in Nashville
3. TrainBlog visits A Day Out with Thomas in California and it seems much neater than the one in Nashville. There were more trains on display and the passenger cars were open air for a much cooler effect.
4. A third blog post on A Day Out With Thomas in Ontario
5. Bonnie the balloon lady makes a great Thomas train out of balloons
