## Description

THOMAS & FRIENDS LOCOMOTIVE - ORIGIN JAMES - HO Scale. Featuring the original paint colors when James arrived on the Island of Sodor, this engine is a must have for your Thomas & Friends Collection. James is the No. 5 red engine. He is a medium-sized engine whose six driving wheels are not as big as Gordon's but not as small as Thomas'. Origin James has a fine black coat and brass dome and thinks of himself as a Really Splendid Engine. Occasionally this leads to misguided ideas about the sort of work suitable for such a distinguished engine, invariably landing James in trouble. James is a mixed traffic engine, which means he can pull both passenger coaches and freight cars. James is based on a Hughes Class 28 superheated 2-6-0 tender engine. Bachmann carefully reproduces your favorite Thomas & Friends characters in HO scale.  All locomotives feature realistic faces with moving eyes, operating HO scale electric drive mechanisms,  highly detailed plastic body shells, all-metal wheels, and international-style hook-and-loop couplers.
