If you are able to be a PIC in a Airplane Single Engine Land, then you
can fly a Tomahawk and be/log PIC. If you are "current" then you can
carry passengers. The FAA does not have restrictions on being trained in
one plane, then flying another. I'm sure if you bent or broke the plane,
they could say you were careless and reckless, but they don't explicitly
require a checkout in every type you are gonna fly.

Wether the INSURANCE company will cover you (without having any
instruction in type) is another matter. Most every place that I have
flown at (rented from..) requires a checkout in every major type of
plane they have for you to rent planes in those types...

For instance.. the high wing Cessna's... I could check out in their
Arrow and fly all their cherokee airframes..

I could likewise check out in the 182 and fly all their cessna's.

(the above two examples assume you have your one-time complex and High
Performance endorsements)

I've only ever flown Cessna products and I've come across an area I'm not
sure about. I have my private and I have flow 150/2 and 172's since I
starting my training. Now I might partner up with a guy in a Tomahawk next
weekend for a tour across the state. I don't have any formal training in any
Piper products, will I be allowed to log any stick time? I don't recall
exactly how the regs layout type certification. Do I have to be signed off
and have logged instruction to be PIC in the Tomahawk? Also if I only had
time in a 150, would I have to have instruction in a 152 before I could log
PIC?

One last question, If I fly simulated instrument with a safety pilot, does
the safety pilot have to sign my logbook? Thanks to everyone for your help
and response.
