[edit] Didi the Drummer
Didi plays the drums. she weas a dark-blue sleeveless shirt with pinkish-purple polka dots, and a green skirt. Her hair always appears to be in front of her eyes, making it impossible to see them. She also has a rather large hair style that might have been common in the '50s-'60s. She has a crush on Mr. Conductor and always tries to impress him.
[edit] Tex Boy and Rex Boy
Tex and Rex are identical twin coyboys. They wear red shirts and pants, with white cowboy hats and boots. They speak with thick country accents. They play a large guitar together. They sing most of the country songs. They often joke around with each other.
