G1 Thomas the tank engine

Many thanks.
So this afternoon I started work on painting the footplate on Thomas. For a change I decided to paint it black instead of grey as it makes him look a lot better. I used quick drying warhammer sprays for this as the finish turns out really well. While I was waiting I also took the time to touch up the smoke box as there was some marks that needed touching up. Just the motor block and wheels to do next.

Out of interest are there any other comparable wheel sets that can work with this motor block? It's just that the smokes don't look right to me. I could try the PIKO Mogul type wheels but this would only raise the model up and would put the buffer level out of alignment. Any suggestions?

Hm if you think the wheels are a little small perhaps the LGB US Mogul (2-6-0 tender lok if you did not know) may work for a larger size. But then would the block fit in the Body? Probably need to see one at close up to see the options.
