Harold's model is simply a re-release of the 2013 Take-n-Play/2017 Adventures model without noticeable changes. It is also dated 2013 on the bottom.
As of late 2020/early 2021, newer engines in the range now have painted pupils, similar to the ones in the Wood and Motorized ranges. The engines also have their respective names printed on their chassis in white, which is very similar to vehicles in the Wooden Railway line. Some of the earlier engines from this range also had this change. In a prototype, as well as the box for the Motorized "All Around Sodor Deluxe Set", shows Emily's model (one of the many extras included in the set) with number 12 on her tender, following its acquisition in Emily to the Rescue. It would have been the first piece of merchandise to depict Emily with her number after gaining it in Series 24. However, Emily did not receive her 12 until late 2020 in her own single release. Ashima's hyper glow model incorrectly depicts her as a 0-4-0 than a 0-8-2. Her standard model also has uncoloured middle wheels. Edward's 2014 model's pilot wheels are moulded into his running board and the prototype of the model shows them unpainted. The wheels were coloured for the final release.Toby's model has openings on his side plates, despite the fact each other toy before has the side plates conceal the wheels in some way or another. His tail lamp is also unpainted. Some of the newer tender engines have their battery compartments as part of their motors, contained within the engine boiler so as to avoid having a wire that could break between the two parts of the engine. As of 2014, this change has been made to every engine as they all use the same chassis. Because many consumers were opening the wrong compartment while attempting to change the batteries, all of the screws - except for the battery door screw - have been changed to tamper-proof screws with triangular heads. This makes replacing the couplers impossible. This change took effect March 15, 2010. Much like his Plarail model, Winston has a front coupling and a Sir Topham Hatt figurine, but unlike the Plarail model, the Motorized version of said figurine is not removable. Sonny's model reuses Thomas's footplate and there is a noticeable gap under his smokebox, much like with Hong Mei's Adventures model.
A number of individual copies of Gator's model are only painted the lighter shade of green, while most Gator models are accurately painted two-tone green. This can be avoided by having a singular Push Along sit between the Adventures model and Push Along tender engine.
As with the series itself, the engines' wheels no longer have spokes or side rods. However, a hole exists for side rods on the driving wheels. The Thomas model used for advertising the Fix 'em Up Friends set is different than the model from the set.
