Appearance

The toy looks exactly like Thomas the Tank Engine, but with some minor changes: it's colored dark blue instead of light blue, its dome is translucent, its headlamp is in the middle (resembling the British light engine headcode), its wheels are yellow instead of blue, and its side rods are blue instead of grey. At the back of the locomotive there's a sticker of Thomas and Harold (The sticker can vary from the different variants of the toy).

Functions

The toy has Bump and Go action. When switched on, its eyes and mouth move up and down while the multicolored lights inside of it flash. It makes train sounds.

Sizes

The Thomas version can come in three sizes: Big, small and tiny.

Big and small versions of the toy requires three double A batteries and both have the same functions, while the tiny version requires two double A batteries, doesn't have a headlamp, the number 1 is unpainted and the power switch is located on the back of the locomotive instead of the bottom like the big and small sized versions.
