Also, this particular song is train-themed, so double points ⭐

The guys at the Kato stand were kind enough to let me have a play with their Duke prototype.
Sadly, he won't be coming to the UK market due to licensing agreements, but I'm sure plenty will find their way from Japan... 😄

Well, seeing as the "Sodor Railway Repair" character has been getting some attention again, this might interest you tonight -- pretty much what the "Sodor Chain Load Undercut" was built for and how it operates;

I'm impressed that they've (seemingly) retained the Dustin content after all this time. No doubt it was made around the same time as Logan and Sam in 2014 / 2015.

What's all this about "James & Super E.D." being cut from S5?
I always found it more interesting that Hector was going to debut in that season but got held over until S11.
