 We Love Salty!!!Jun 22, 2005
By Pam Tee

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."

Yo Ho Ho and a Bucket of Prawns...Jun 07, 2006
By Janet Boyer

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.

Very CuteFeb 19, 2004
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!

Salty the seaside dieselSep 02, 2005
By Rowan
"Rowan"
If your child likes playing with Thomas & Friends trains, Salty is a red diesel engine, and like Mavis, he has black and yellow stripes around his face. Salty was brought to the Island to help Mavis, Bill, and Ben shape up the troublesome trucks in the quarry. He did such a good job of doing it, no other engine could do it.
Salty will ocassionally work in the quarry and other places on the island, but since he has the personality of a sea captain, he likes to work at the Brendam Docks. In fact, Sir Topham Hatt thought that Salty did such a good job, he gave him a new job at Brendam Docks. Salty now works with Cranky the crane, loading and unloading various cargo. If you need an engine to help you with heavy-duty jobs, I recommend adding Salty to your collection.

Salty looks different in the pictureFeb 14, 2004
By Mr. Bey
The Salty that I own and all other ones i've seen in person have had three wheels. Also the real Salty has three wheels too. The magnet on Salty is very strong and it can pull a lot of cars. Salty runs smoothly on the track and his wheels work perfectly. This one is a great buy.
