Trivia

  • The toys are modified versions of the Take-Along range.
  • Gordon, Emily, Murdoch, Spencer, Hank, both versions of Hiro, Freddie, Connor, Caitlin, Gator, D199 and Class 40 have a reduced number of wheels due to sizing constraints.
  • Belle has the most wheels of any engine (not counting their tender wheels), even though several engines have the same amount as or (in Connor's case) more than she does in the TV show. Her wheels are also solid blue instead of red with blue rims, even though some other engines before her had coloured rims.
  • Kelly's prototype was a repainted Take-Along Max or Monty model with the breakdown crane added on.
  • The Storybook Car's prototype had yellow magnets.
  • Captain's model does not have a mast.
  • The Knapford station set has shed doors.
  • Whiff's model is incorretly depicted as an 0-4-4 instead of a  2-2-4 wheel arrangement. This was corrected on the 2013 models.
  • Salty's bufferbeam was red instead of yellow. This was corrected on the 2013 model.
  • Annie and Clarabel's wheels were white instead of black. This was corrected on their 2013 models.
  • Sidney's model is missing the warning panel underneath his face.
  • The prototypes of Emily, Molly and the Big City Engine had six wheels on their tenders, while their final models have four.
  • Some engines do not have a hollow area for their cab.
  • Charlie's prototype had a black dome.
  • The Slate Loading Station is a re-coloured Load-n-Go set.
  • The front end of Victor's saddletank above his smokebox in flashback, sea-soaked, and partially-repainted form is black instead of yellow.
  • Luke and Norman have black buffers instead of silver ones.
  • D199's side detail is reversed compared to his other merchandise models.
  • Class 40's bogies do not rotate.
  • A prototype drawing shows that Sir Handel was going to be included in the Tidmouth Tunnel Starter Set.
  • In 2013, all the models were reissued with slight alterations, most distinctively to their faces and wheels. These changes coincided with the moving of production from China to Thailand. 
  • In 2014, many of the models were reissued again, this time with circular magnets similar to the Wooden Railway line of toys. All new releases from summer 2014 onwards have circular magnets as well.
  • The 2014 re-releases of the tank engines have squatter cabs and domes, the former with the windows blacked out.
  • The 2014 re-release of Kevin has rail wheels.
  • The 2014 re-releases of the tender engines have four-wheeled tenders and their leading and trailing wheels molded into their undercarriages.
  • The prototype rusty Stephen had Dash's cab and bunker, a tall funnel, and a silver driving wheel.
  • Stephen's rusty model depicts him with a tender, despite him not having one prior to his restoration.
  • So far, three characters exclusive to the Railway Series have been produced.
  • Timothy, 'Arry, Bert and the 2013 models of Diesel, Paxton, and Sidney all have siderods moulded onto their sides.
  • Hank's model does not have a front coupler like other Take-n-Play engines and his television series appearance.  Interestingly, Connor and Caitlin's models have front couplers, while their front couplers are concealed in the TV series. This is also the case with their Wooden Railway models.
  • The teal Troublesome Truck resembles Rickety.
  • Stafford's prototype had no number or nameplate.
  • Culdee's model has buffers.
  • From 2013, some models have buffer prints that go beyond the raised area.
  • As of mid-2014, most of the models do not have painted buffers or cylinders.
  • From 2013 onwards, most of the packages feature a picture of the engine in CGI. Engines who have not yet appeared or are unlikely to appear in the CGI series are given a pseudo-CGI look on the packaging. The exceptions are Harvey, Molly, Douglas, and Hector, whose packaging features their TV series models.
  • The packaging for Whiff's Banana Blooper, Stanley's Construction Clash, and Bash's Tree Tumble all say "As seen on DVD" with the Spills and Thrills DVD shown, but none of those engines or situations appear in any episode on that DVD.
