TrainsRawesome He’s an electric locomotive, so he’s not supposed to have side rods (he doesn’t have them in the show). Mattel just gave them to his Motorized model anyways though for no apparent reason
DalaGStanator Preempted. Specifically a GE Little Joe. Also: it may look like he has buffers, but they're really just little lumps that his basis also has (possibly mounting spots for buffers).
Super Thanks T-Raw and LaG And to add to that...the new re-boots don't have rods where they should be???
Mister No It's because of the TV Show, Super: if they had rods, it would be hard for them to use their wheels as hands! 😃
