Tried to restore the TOMY pull back Thomas and Percy for use as "large scale" versions when next to the Pack and/or the Skarloey Railway, like what the TV Series did. The correction fluid on the running boards was applied 15-16 years ago, so I scraped off as much as I could until they were mostly red again. Not even sanding helped remove the remnants. In addition, I repainted Thomas' faded back (not perfectly) and made minor improvements to both engines, such as recreating Percy's cab detail, repainting the dome and whistle valve gold and giving him cylinders, which were later cut down because they made him get stuck. The whistle has since been added to look like the original cab sticker. Here's how they look next to Jack and Alfie:

P.S., even though the powered wheels are much thinner, they still don't fit on the Union Express track.
