Description Here's a an engine character I came up with, Switcher. I asked for a Bachmann Jr 0-6-0 [link] for christmas 2010 and my grandma accidentally ordered this [link] one instead. After I got it, I decided to turn it into a character. So I used a hornby Bill/Ben face, lamps, a front coupler, open cab, silver buffer, and best of all, moving eyes and volia!

Bio: Switcher has been working on railways as a shunting engine (that's where he got his name) and was brought to the island to help out with the enormous shunting duties, and to help out with Thomas on his branch line. He likes things neat, tidy and organized and if it isn't he'll get a little mad. He's also thomas's brother. Enjoy!

I DON'T OWN THOMAS & FRIENDS BUT SWITCHER BELONGS TO ME.
