1) In "The Green Controller", he pulled the express (due to one of Percy's misinterpretations of the orders Lady Hatt told him to give the engines when the Fat Controller "lost his voice"). I believe he has also been seen with quarry trucks, troublesome or not. That first one I mentioned is the only one I remember.
2) In The Railway Series, Toby's sideplates were repainted blue after the events of "Dirty Objects". If you wish to make a Railway Series Toby, the roof should be repainted black in addition to the blue sideplates.
Thanks for the input. Do you have any images of what he looked like in that series or was it only the black roof?
I will make every effort to restore, but if it turns out not to work, then the custom may have to do.

Oh yeah. I found the TnA Toby, D10, and James in a lot awhile back. Actually they were the first TnA trains I had. After that I was hooked. And believe it or not, I found them on eBay here in the US.
Swapping the roof for Toby or maybe even the entire she'll may work but the TnA have a custom or different attaching method I believe. Will have to do a bit more research but that may work too. Painting the roof would not be too bad either, matching the color may be though.
