Lol...Leo the tank engine is the kids name who requested these run.
@Super Hes not...I swapped out his wheels from a wobbly Troublesome truck.
RE: Muddy Poppins YouTube Video's - Super - 08-30-2020
Well, that explains why I had not seen one before. I guess any rolling stock's wheel could be swapped out with wobblers. Hmmm, wonder what a Tanker would look like or a baggage car. When we took a ride on the real 1225 Polar Express years ago they had an old baggage car which was converted into a Souvenir Shop between the Coaches and it was a challenge and fun walking in it when the train was running because the car had no shocks or springs to smooth out the ride and the swayed back side to side so you had to hold on. lol.

To me the faces almost look to be identical. The mouth is a tiny bit different. Videos and pictures can be deceiving, how do they look in real life Muddy?

Thanks for the review, Muddy! I’m planning to pick up one or two of the Thomas, Annie and Clarabel sets if they become available around here. My son managed to find Duchess recently and she’s also pretty cool.
RE: Muddy Poppins YouTube Video's - MuddyPoppins - 09-03-2020
Well, the wheel swap didn’t quite go as expected... It is doable, but at the moment I am unable to express my love of FisherPrice for their efforts to thwart me.
I’m gonna make another video to explain.
RE: Muddy Poppins YouTube Video's - Mister No - 09-03-2020
I can't wait to see what happened...
Also, I'm wondering why on earth do Fisher Price Annie and Clarabel have such spiky wheels in the first place...
RE: Muddy Poppins YouTube Video's - leylandvictory2 - 09-03-2020
the spiky wheels are used to help with the traction especially going up on a steep slope. The concept is similar to real life trains that climb steep mountain grade.
They have been doing this for quite some time. I cant remember what year they started to do this on the rolling stocks.
RE: Muddy Poppins YouTube Video's - Tharazero1 - 09-04-2020
Why would rolling stock need traction to get up a hill?
RE: Muddy Poppins YouTube Video's - Super - 09-04-2020
I beleive its for traction and slowing then down going downhill. In the beginning of the Roller Coaster sets for Trackmaster II/Revolution the rolling stock would often derail as they flopped around behind a cogged engine doing its stunts.
RE: Muddy Poppins YouTube Video's - Tharazero1 - 09-04-2020
Makes sense
