An ode to the others - trevor369 - 05-28-2022
So much has changed since the beginning to the present.
We have all seen these trains adapt in so many ways.
But I do think that the time has come. And I for one think that it is long overdue.
To appreciate and recognize the others.
After all? Thomas the train?
Well, he is a train.
But how about the others? The non-battery operated or the non-train? There have been so many over the decades.
What are you favorites? Your "hard to finds"? Your wish list?
However, you choose "rolling"/motorized/coaches? The only requirement is that the toy has a face.
For example? Mighty Mac, a wonderful piece. One of a kind. A must have!
He is non-battery operated, but he is a train.
Or Emerson! A non-train and non-battery operated?
Henrietta a coach. However, non-battery operated and not a train.
Your thoughts?

Mighty Mac is certainly a fantastic one. I love the 3d face Hit Toy rolling stock (Toad, S.C. Ruffey) too. Alfie of course is on my wishlist, but he doesn’t look the best.

@trainsRawsome
Mighty mac has got to be one of the most unique trains in the line!
Nothing like it since its debut. Nothing like it since!
A wonderful piece!
but let us dig deeper?
How about Rocky? Sometimes battery operated? Sometimes not?
Not a train, not "necessarily" a rolling vehicle? !

I would say I like trackmaster hit toy Byron Kelly tomy Terrence etc and as for my Wishlist well I mostly have engines I need to get to replace older models I have and new additions for a larger variety as a side note I would say that I like some take along and take n play vehicles as they are good and I plan on getting a few more such as Kevin and maybe some more
another idea I had was getting a bootleg jack and making a custom 3D somewhat accurate model and using the wheels too (I really need to start some of these thoughts)

What I am really trying to do in this tread?
Is to create a "group" photo.
An ode to the others.
In order to do this I would like to know?
What the "others" mean to you.
let me try to demonstrate a perspective.
Here is a piece that is a "true" anomaly.
Almost everyone here knows of this "piece/train".
Yet! This particular "piece/train" seems to be forgotten.
Yet! This particular "piece/train"?
Still exists. With little to no credit.
break down train?
Anybody remember him/her?
No face. But definitely!
It would be extremely hard to NOT recognize this particular "piece"? Yet! It is a "piece" that all of us recognize!
Is this a "rolling vehicle"? A train?
OR...
AN "ode to the others"?
Muddy?
can you help me with this endeavor?
to be continued...
