All of the tender engines in the range feature buffers both behind their cabs and on the front of their tenders. This was likely done so that children could play with both parts of a tender engine separately, like including a tender as part of a train, or treating the tender engine as if it were a tank engine. This feature was not carried over into the Take-n-Play range or any future die-cast ranges; additionally, the Push Along range's tender engines all featured buffers on the wrong end of their tenders, although this was a design flaw and not an intended feature. The talking engine models all use their moulds from the pre-2014 era of Take-n-Play, though their chassis are the same as their normal Adventures models. The character card for Thomas uses one of his promotional images from Thomas and the Magic Railroad. Space Mission Thomas, Dino Discovery James, Pirate Quest Diesel and Shark Escape Salty are all US, AUS and UK-exclusives.

Hiro was the final character and the only character from the CGI Series released in the Take Along line. He was also the only character from the CGI series to have a character card. My First Thomas & Friends is a range of chunky plastic toys, produced by British toy company: Golden Bear Toys. Theo is missing his name plate and he has no front coupling hook.
