Thomas & Friends Edward GDJ57, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends Trackmaster Large Push Along Diecast Train Engine

Product Information

The Troublesome Trucks now have moulded plastic faces rather than printed or sticker faces and their bodies changed shape, with external rivets and a moulded wooden floor. This heavily contradicts the Walking Bridge's size in the series, where it was able to perfectly fit both Toby and Henrietta. James and Gordon also feature tenders with removeable coal loads, with Rob Rackstraw providing the voice samples for the former. The Single pack renders are slightly more accurate, but have black siderods and traction tires not present on the actual release. This is a stark contrast to the new pieces for the All Engines Go range, which have the facial details printed on a blank face piece; the face pieces lack any molded features aside from the nose.

This is presumably done to allow a recreation of the scene in Thomas, Terence and the Snow where Terence pulls Thomas out of the snow. Ultimately, as his model was designed with coupling rods in mind, his wheels are exposed more than they are in real life.The Thomas model used for advertising the Fix 'em Up Friends set is different than the model from the set. For the Thomas and Percy models, Joseph May and Christopher Ragland provide the voice clips of the US releases, with John Hasler and Nigel Pilkington voicing the UK versions. Duchess' coach is the same style as the 2014 TrackMaster line before the Motorized redesign, possibly because she was designed for the TrackMaster line before the switch to Motorized.

These models also feature working lamps and are more proportionally accurate, and have large red buttons on their cab roofs. The engines now have longer rear couplings, a feature that was only once used for the original TrackMaster model of Scruff from the original series. For any product, one asterisk (*) means it is a rerelease from the 2014-2020 TrackMaster range, possibly with small differences. She includes a flatbed to which her crane arm can be attached to let her fit under bridges and tunnels.

The talking models of Thomas, Gordon, James and Percy have rivets and handrails to match their current renders in the series (Talking Diesel also has rivets on his sides despite lacking them), their numbers have also increased in size. Unlike the greatest moments pack, the single pack release features bare gray plastic instead of metallic silver paint.

Skiff now has a hook coupling on the back, meaning that when he is pulled along by an engine, he faces backwards. Annie and Clarabel are longer than the TrackMaster versions of them released in 2016; they now resemble the original TrackMaster designs slightly more, whereas the 2016-2019 versions were simply repainted vans. A model of Percy (minus his face) and the mail car can be seen on top of a cake in the 2022 film, Smile. Following the end of the main series prior to the reboot, the line briefly shifted to recreating moments from past episodes.Kenji's prototype also depicts him and his coaches with blue stripes across his windows and his roof like his basis but absent from his CGI render and his final release; this may have been part of his original design. At the inside-top of the packaging, there is a character saying the description of the set ( And sometimes, a story to go along with the set).
