While working on some shop engines that were missing parts, I decided to have some fun with them. Why not? So I've created a couple of new friends for Thomas the Tank engine ... actually I stole HIS face off a whistle to try out. Heh heh! Anyway, let me introduce you...
The first guy is Tyler Tyco. He's from the mid-West, likes to rustle up some coal drags on occasion, and haul ore when he can. A bit flamboyant, as you can tell by his attire. But a pretty nice guy.

The next dude is a bit more proper, nice black suit. His name is Chitty Chat. Chitty is everywhere, and can do anything. he gives tender-pulling care to each load he hauls.

Well, this is all the Facetme I can give you folks. Leave your comments below.

I noticed the Thomas the Ten Wheeler. What is your take on those Mantual 10 wheelers? I have one, mint in box, never opened, that I have been saving for an old West themed layout. Do they age well or are they subject to split axle syndrome? I've read some posts in the TF that there is trouble with electrical contact because of the center driver lifting up the other driver sets. What's your take?
