Trivia

  • Unlike his Learning Curve counterpart, the Brio battery-powered Thomas has a front magnet.
  • Gordon is incorrectly depicted as a 4-6-0 instead of a 4-6-2.
  • Toby's face appears to have been modeled after Mavis', despite the latter never being released in Brio form.
  • There were two versions of Duck available: one with green wheels and one with black.
  • Oliver is the only engine released in 2000 not to originate from Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
  • Brio is the only merchandise line not to give Lady her headlamps.
  • On Diesel 10, a magnetized version of Pinchy is connected to his arm by a string. The arm is similar to that of a crane's arm, as it can move up, down, sideways and extend.
  • Splatter and Dodge have light grey wheels instead of black.
  • Rheneas is the only engine from the Skarloey Railway introduced in the fourth series who did not receive a Brio toy.
  • Sir Handel is the only engine:
    • With an 0-4-2 wheel arrangement to be depicted with four wheels instead of six.
    • Whose cab entrance is not black, instead being blue with a black outline.
  • Oliver, Lady, Skarloey, Sir Handel, Peter Sam and Duncan all reuse Duke's smokebox moulding, which includes his unique stepped funnel base.
  • Henry, Gordon and Duke have a hook that connects them to their tenders, however Edward and James use magnets.
  • Edward, Henry, Gordon and James are the only engines not to have front couplings.
  • Toby and the diesel engines are the only engines to have front couplings the same size as their rear couplings.
  • Cranky's toy was repurposed for the tower crane in the main Brio range (33320).
