They are smaller in length but definately Plarail/tomy. I thought I had seen a DD51 set before that had these.
There is this one with the container car...

Gordon #1 freshly fixed... I had to salvage a TnA Thomas for the connector. I replaced the tires and since I had it apart I replaced the wires as well with some color coordinated ones. Big Grin

The biggest issue with this one was activation mechanism. For some reason it kept sticking and getting stuck in the chassis. After taking it completely apart and testing several things I figured out that the drive gear was replaced at some point and was a little off placement wise. I swapped the gear out and also replaced a tiny spring and all was well. Not really a lot to show picture wise but here are a couple.

Gordon # 2 is all good as well. There was a tab bit of corrosion on two of the terminals. I cleaned with white vinegar and then distilled water.

Henry is all good now as well. His drive gear was stripped. I replaced and he is working as expected. I did go ahead and swap the tender cover for my other one as it was in better condition. Once I dig up the log car I am going to put this one back in the box and store it away for now.
