FanFic:The Sodor Engines Railway System

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Sodor Railway System is a toy brand based on the televion series The Sodor Engines. It is produced by Global Railways Productions in conjunction with Learning Curve.

Design

The locomotives are battery powered, and can go backwards and forwards. However, the locomotives are designed so that they can be easily pushed if no batteries are available. They attach to their cars with a coupling similar to the Hornby model system. All trains run on plastic track that must be bought seperately.
