Trivia[]

  • The prototype TrackMaster (Revolution) Edward shows him with no painted front wheels, as well as painted buffers.
  • The original Edward and Oliver have almost the same siderods, but they do not share as Edward's are wider than Oliver's, and Oliver's siderods are reversed.
  • The prototype TrackMaster (Fisher-Price) Edward is actually the Thomas Motor Road and Rail version of Edward as the traction tires are beige, his stripes are not painted, and his face is different.
