My soon to be 2 yr old neice is having a birthday very soon.  When I asked her what she wanted she told me," CHUGGINGTON".  After doing some research I found that Chuggington is an animated series on the disney channel in the same spirit as Thomas the tank.   As I was browsing the internet for Chuggington related merchandise, I got to thinking wouldnt it be great for her to play with the CHuggington on her 3 rail layout.   Yes she already has one with a lionel girls set restored, thanks to her Uncle.       Has any of the manufacturers thought about making this series in 3 rail?    It would be a great way to continue growing the hobby!!

Check out the show cartoons.  There is a character in them named Wilson - an EMD F3 - who is maybe the most popular loco in the show.   It would not be too hard to repaint an F3 (Wilson looks to have two, two-axle trucks, at least in the shows I saw) in his livery.  Alternately, kids seem to love RMT locos, and a BEEF would be perfect, to be Wilson.  Just repaint a bit and paint the "eyes" on the windshield, eyebrows, and smile, etc..  I've considered doing that for my grandkids, even doing a little "body work" to add lips around the friendly, willing smile Wilson has, etc. - except, they are into Thomas, not Chuggington.
