This is my first (and hopefully only) one-year project (which will be only 365 days) and this one has everything to do with the Diesel Army.In this pic, the Iron Twins 'Arry and Bert are wearing matching outfits with the number 68.

Enjoy, and remember, Diesel Army Forever!
Thomas & Friends (C) The Rev. W. Awdry, Britt Allcroft, and Mattel
A pair of intimidating and sinister gangster twins that work directly under Diesel 10 and have been loyal to him for years. They follow every of D10's orders with glee and without question. They are especially good at intimidating others thanks to their imposing statures and are eager for some dirty work. If D10 wants someone to be taught a lesson or permanently out of the picture, they have got it covered.
When the parents of D10's nephew, Darius Diesel, died, they were assigned as little Darius' bodyguards and personal tutors in combat and weapon use. They just as loyal to Diesel as to D10 as they grew a soft spot for the now young man, who they had looked after since he was just a child.
Matthew "Cranky" Hawkins
Age: 48
Height: 209 cm
The leading crane operator at Brandam Docks. He earned the nickname Cranky due to his permanent bad mood, being even more grumpy than Gordon. He has no time for anyone's nonsense and doesn't approve of any form of silliness, which is ironic as he has the habit of teasing others, often using his crane to sabotage collegues that got sassy with him earlier. Cranky is not on good terms with young people, calling them bugs and is actively opposed of minors such as Thomas and Percy even being near his work place.
His bad attitude made him disliked and avoided by many and made his work very lonely but he refuses to ever admit that. His closest collegues, Salty and Porter try to lift his mood and keep him company to varying success. Cranky managed to mallow out and be more tolerable towards other but he still carries that nickname for good reason.
Lincoln "Salty" Ruston
Age: 51
Height: 198 cm
A former marine that now works at Brendam Docks. He adapted mannerisms that made him seem like a pirate and prefers to be called Salty in association with his affinity for the sea. He is a jolly man that likes to lend others a hand and entertain them with pirate tales with some being more rediculous than the last. He is close friends with Porter, on very good terms with Henry and wants to brighten the mood for Cranky.
Johan "Bulgy" Regent
Age: 39
Height: 192 cm
Driver of a double-decker bus and Bertie's senior, who introduced him to everything when the cheerful young man just started his new job. He got his nickname from Bertie and never seems to get rid of it much to his dismay. Bulgy has a strong distaste for the rails and is very strong in his conviction that busses and the roads are more important and superior in every way. He found his fair share of like minded people such as steamroller driver George Aveling or some lorry drivers but failing to recruit his mentee Bertie into the "Anti-Railway League".
His relationship with Bertie has always been complicated. On one hand he cares for him as a fellow bus driver and former trainee, adoring his enthusiasm and passion for the profession and never-fading cheerfulness. On the other hand, said cheerfulness can also annoy Bulgy from time to time as well as Bertie's frequent cheekyness and the thing Bulgy dislikes the most is Bertie being all chummy with the railway and glady being their friend as long as they acknowledge the importance of the roads.
I thought about adding Diesel 10 to Sodor UK time and time again, and here he is. he is Arry and Bert's crime boss, and he got Pinchy the Claw from a car bomb accident.
It’s currently storming outside and I’m stuck indoors with my PC off, so I got bored and decided to build a new Wooden Railway layout! I call this one “Working Hard At Wellsworth” since I put a few Wellsworth pieces on it.
