Trivia
- The following characters were planned but were cancelled in the old range:
- In the old range all the characters had an IC chip called "α system" built in and it enabled them to talk.
- The new range is equipped with couplings and can be connected.
- The Express Coaches included with Gordon and Henry, and the Narrow Gauge-styled coach in the Thomas with Freight Cars pack are repainted Branch Line Coaches reused from Annie and Clarabel's models.
- Tomica is also Thomas' name in Croatian and Bosnian.
- The brake vans in the newer range are backwards.
- Emily was the only female character to be released in the old range.
- Diesel was the only diesel engine to be released in the old range.
- Many of the characters had different whistle/horn sound effects in the original range:
- Thomas used Edward’s Whistle.
- Edward used his Series 4 whistle.
- Gordon used Duck’s whistle. Oliver would've also used Duck's whistle.
- James used his Series 4 whistle.
- Toby used a different bell sound.
- Duck, Donald, Douglas, Harvey and Arthur shared Henry’s Series 2 whistle. Stepney would've also used Henry's Series 2 whistle.
- Emily shared Henry’s normal whistle.
- Murdoch used Arthur’s whistle.
- Diesel used a generic American horn, which he would later have in Series 13. Daisy, Mavis and Salty would've also shared that same horn sound.
- Bulgy shared Bertie’s Series 4 horn sound.
