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. ## Features - Operating HO scale electric locomotive,with the original paint colors when James arrived on the Island of Sodor - Featuring detailed character face with moving eyes and realistic body shell - All-metal wheels with factory-installed international-style hook-and-loop couplers - Performs best on 18" radius curves or greater - Runs on Bachmann HO scale E-Z Track, and is compatible with all popular brands of HO scale track ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B097WGQFYC | | Assembly Required | No | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 569,765 in Toys & Games (See Top 100 in Toys & Games) 137 in Model Train Steam Locomotives | | Colour | Prototypical Colors | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (25) 4.9 out of 5 stars | | Date First Available | 4 April 2022 | | Educational Objective S | History, Spacial Awareness, Concentration, Dexterity | | Guaranteed Software Updates Until | unknown | | Item Model Number | 58822 | | Manufacturer Recommended Age | 8 years and up | | Material Care Instructions | Wipe Clean | | Material Type S | Metal Plastic | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 17.78 x 3.18 x 5.72 cm; 245 g | | Radio Control Suitability | Home | | Release Date | 1 Mar. 2022 | | Scale | HO 1:87 | | Track Width Gauge | HO | ## Images ![Bachmann Trains - Thomas & Friends Locomotive - Origin James - HO Scale, Prototypical Colors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51OuHDxMS6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bachmann quality *by on Reviewed in Canada 6 February 2024* These are great trains but pricy.
