The Track Crew

The **Track Crew** of Global Transit Terminal keeps all the rails and passageways in prime conditions. They are based on the *Chuggineers* from *Chuggington*.

## Branson

### Affiliation

Adventure Squad
His Crew
Global Transit Terminal staff and visitors

## Physical description

### Eye color

Blue

**Branson** is the crew's foreman and the crew's only diesel engine.

### Personality

Branson is a strong team leader and always makes sure his crew reaches their deadlines. He also makes sure that his cohorts are at their best operating conditions, though he often excludes himself from his attempts.

### Appearance

Branson is based on a BR Class 42 diesel-hydraulic with an added non-regulation hydraulic claw. All but two members of the class were named after Royal Navy warships, so they, and the similar Class 43, were nicknamed "Warships". Two of these engines are preserved. Diesel 10 is another member of this class.

Branson is painted blue with white stripes along his sides. His buffers are black and his claw is painted yellow.

### Trivia

* Branson's model was crafted from a standard TrackMaster Revolution Diesel 10 with parts of a crash and repair Diesel 10 for moving claw elements.
* Branson is based off of *Chuggington's* Zack, the foreman of the Chuggineers.
* Branson was originally created with the name Bruno, but when it was revealed a character with that name would be introduced in the *All Engines Go* reboot, the name was switched to avoid confusion.

Orange

**Lindsay** is the crew's specialist and the only female on the team.

### Personality

Though capable of doing any tricky jobs for the crew, Lindsay mainly prefers to do demolition jobs, especially if they involve explosives.

### Appearance

Lindsay is based on the North Pacific Coast Railroad Cab-Forward 4-4-0 No. 21 "Thomas-Stetson", a rebuild of NPCRR #5 which had been wrecked in 1897. An innovative engine built by Bill Thomas, it is considered the first cab-forward locomotive and was one of the first oil burners, as well as the first locomotive to use a marine boiler. The engine had insufficient adhesion weight and its oil burners were prone to damage due their proximity to its water tubes, and was unpopular with crews, its unusual appearance earning it the nickname "The Freak". #21 was scrapped in 1905. Lexi is another member of this class.

Lindsay is painted orange with a yellow cowcatcher. Her body and windows have yellow lining, and the side of her tender chassis is yellow. Her bufferbeam is painted red, and her buffers and tender running board are painted black. Her footplate is yellow and her tender wheels are white.

### Trivia

* Lindsay's model was extensively repainted from Lexi's, but with Nia's chassis.
* Lindsay is based off of *Chuggington's* Tyne, who shares her love of explosives.

## Ernie

## Physical description

### Eye color

Green

**Ernie** is the hauler of the crew.

### Personality

Ernie is reliable with a jokingly lazy side, always ready to work hard and tell funny stories.

### Appearance

Ernie is based on the GER Class A55 "Decapod", an experimental tank engine named so for its ten driving wheels. It was designed to prove that steam locomotives could compete with emerging electric locomotives. It achieved its goal on 26th April 1903, during stormy weather. It never entered regular service and was rebuilt to an 0-8-0 tender engine in 1906, being assigned to haul coal trains for GER's March district, remaining the only eight-coupled steam locomotive to work on GER. It was later scrapped in 1913 due to being non-standard. Hurricane is another member of this class.

Ernie is painted green with a black running board, white lining, white steam pipes and green wheels.

### Trivia

* Ernie's model was extensively repainted from Hurricane's, but with Henry's chassis.
* Ernie is based off of *Chuggington's* Fletch, who shares his hard-working and sometimes lazy nature.

## Ramirez

## Physical description

### Eye color

Yellow

**Ramirez** is the new member of the crew.

### Personality

Ramierz was built as an experiment, and as such, was a drifter. Eventually, though, she found a spot in the crew alongside Rick and Morty as the main lifting machines on the team.

### Appearance

Ramirez is not based on any existing design, and is a freelance locomotive.

Ramirez was painted brown with a black cab roof and buffers. Eventually, after a period working on the team, she was painted yellow and blue with hazard stripes on her side.

### Trivia

* Ramirez's model is the only one amongst the team not to be modified using an existing base. Rather, she was built from scratch using a 3D Printer, though her face, cable, numerous fittings and couplings were sourced from elsewhere.
* Ramirez is based off of *Chuggington's* Rosa, though unlike the rest there are very little similarities between them.
* Ramirez's design is the creator's interpretation of Carly's *All Engines Go* reboot design in the style of the original series.
