Product Description

Salty, The Dockside Diesel, is a hard working engine who loves to tell tales of his life by the sea. He will occasionally work in the quarry and other areas on the Island, but is happiest down by the docks. Salty is a little rought around the edges but has a great big heart and will always rush to the aid of any engine, be it steam or fellow diesel.

5.0 out of 5 stars We Love Salty!!!, June 22, 2005

This review is from: Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Salty (Toy)

What can you say. Some of the Engines just sit there, but Salty has all this personality! He is a hard working diesel (who doesn't have some of the personality problems of the other diesels :-) and he loves the sea. He also loves to talk about all the places he has been. "Have you ever worked Marsaille?"

Beyond that, Salty is a ruggedly built little train that small kid's adore. Certainly he is a favorite with my 3 year-old son. And even my 5 year-old daughter will talk about his adventures.

We really like the "Percy's Chocolate Crunch" book and tape because it includes the fun story "Salty's Secret". "Yo ho ho and a bucket of prawns... the tiller spins and the captain yawns."

This review is from: Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Salty (Toy)

My son and I LOVE to sing the Yo Ho Ho song!

Salty is my son's newest acquisition in the Thomas line. He had Salty in the small diecast metal form, but wanted the wooden version so it can chug on the wooden railways.

Salty is an older diesel who loves to tell tales of the sea. He will occasionally work in the quarry and other areas on the Island of Sodor, but is happiest down by the docks.

Salty has two adorable bottom teeth, and is very good natured. My son created water on paper to pretend that he's down by the docks, and includes Cranky and the Aquarium Cars for pretend play.

Very nice--and affordable!--addition to the Thomas series.

Salty is an adorable addition to our Thomas set. He really looks great going around the train table! We added Salty to our collection along with Cranky, as seen is "Salty's Secret" VHS. Salty is a good pick for the younger Thomas fans as he is a larger engine and easy to push along the track. Also very brightly colored!
