Xmas Chuffa Train. Kids toy. About the right scale?

I got this from a shop called Bargain Buys. For 12.99.

Main thing that attracted me were the Wagons. The Tender is awful! Needs loads of work.

The colour scheme was very Festive! Green, Red, Silver and Gold. Even the bogeys as you can see were all Red.

I have repainted the open wagon to a more muted colour scheme. But I still want to do more to it.
The Brake/Freight box car was bright red with "Merry Christmas" in white on both sides.

That had to go!

The Engine itself is salvageable and very Wild West. Pity that the drivers section is solid and a main part of the structure. Holds the batteries that make it ring the bells and make "chuff chuff "sounds.

But none to bad overall.

Piccies.
Figures are Heroclix Bioshock and a RAFM Cthulhu Paranormal Investigator for scale.

 The two painted wagons. I just painted the bogeys black.

 I don't know why they made the stack of clear red plastic. It doesn't light up.

 The Coal Tender. Awful! Needs work.

The tracks did have 4 straight sections. Unfortunately they don't fit with my earlier train track in this blog. Connections are not the same. But I can modify them with a knife. Also known as "Lopping them off"
