The weather finally cleared and the kids and myself took Thomas out for a run outside. Thomas ran very well on my track. Only unhooked in one spot but was easily fixed by changing to the Bachmann knuckle couplers. Most of the snow is gone from the last few days of rain and above normal temps.
Shawn,
Thomas looks right at home on your GRR.

Now you need to put in a loop for the kids. 
…grinning…
Thomas looks like he is really enjoying your railroad

I think my wife would kill me if I weather them. She gets all upset as it is when I do it to my stuff. She likes pink and Purple and shiny trains just like Dave R.

Very little. Much as the worthy Tac dislikes Thomas and Co., I’m sure he remembers the days when locos were kept clean – or G-d help the cleaner when the driver or foreman got hold of him. Even in the last bitter days of steam on BR, there were a few sheds that kept standards up. Preserved railways, which is essentially what Awdry’s Sodor is, still do, for obvious reasons.

Roy Rogers tries to determine the cause of the un-coupling…
Cale,
When I was his age, I wanted to grow up to be Roy Rogers. I didn’t understand the concept that the position was already occupied. :lol:
Do Annie and Clarabelle have faces?

Yes they do have faces, molded (nose) on car; eyes and mouth painted…opposite end looks like proto…
