Bachmann Trains - Thomas & Friends HO Scale Locomotive - James

The THOMAS & FRIENDS LOCOMOTIVE - ORIGIN JAMES - HO Scale is a must-have for your Thomas & Friends Collection, featuring the original paint colors when James first arrived on the Island of Sodor. James is the No. 5 red engine, a medium-sized engine with six driving wheels not as big as Gordon's but not as small as Thomas'. This engine is based on a Hughes Class 28 superheated 2-6-0 tender engine, and Bachmann has carefully reproduced the beloved Thomas & Friends character in HO scale.

All locomotives in this collection 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. This Origin James model boasts a fine black coat and brass dome, as the engine fancies himself a "Really Splendid Engine." However, this sense of self-importance can occasionally lead James into trouble, as he may have misguided ideas about the types of work suitable for such a distinguished engine.

Versatile in his duties, James is a mixed traffic engine, capable of pulling both passenger coaches and freight cars. The operating HO scale electric locomotive performs best on 18" radius curves or greater, and is compatible with Bachmann HO scale E-Z Track as well as all other popular brands of HO scale track.

Bachmann's attention to detail is evident in the realistic character face with moving eyes and the high-quality plastic body shell. The all-metal wheels and international-style hook-and-loop couplers add to the authentic feel and functionality of this model. Whether you're a seasoned Thomas & Friends collector or new to the world of model railroading, the THOMAS & FRIENDS LOCOMOTIVE - ORIGIN JAMES - HO Scale is a must-have addition to your layout.

Capturing the essence of the beloved character, this model is a true representation of James as he first appeared on the Island of Sodor. The original paint colors and intricate detailing ensure that this locomotive will be a cherished piece in your Thomas & Friends collection. Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Sodor and let the THOMAS & FRIENDS LOCOMOTIVE - ORIGIN JAMES - HO Scale take you on a captivating journey.
