But coin tosses are so~ last century. Also then I'll be having trouble choosing which version of James should be heads, and which tails.

LOL...nothing like making an old guy feel older. Looks like you may have to man up and make a decision...would that be something, so in this Century?

Just remembered that nowadays, the tender engines that have wires have this covering around the coupling between the engine and tender so the wires aren't as exposed. This is present on my Edward.

this is true, but the wires can disconnect inside either the engine or the tender.

Oh, how does that happen?! I've had my James, Gordon, and Henry with open wires for at least 5 years, and they aren't at all damaged. o.o

just rough use by young kids. drops from a height onto a hard surface could break the solder. all the used tender engines ive got that have broken wiring have been broken on the inside.

Oh, you're right. I do remember seeing where it could break when I took apart my Henry. I think with a solder I could fix it.
