Trivia[]
- The prototype Big City Engine features a different face, more detailed wheel arches, an additional wheel arch near the front, wheels slightly apart from each other, incomplete boiler stripes, and no counterweights except on the back driving wheels.
- Big City Engine was named by Learning Curve as the character was never named in The Railway Series.
- Big City Engine's tender is never seen in The Railway Series. He is based on a LMS Patriot but is given a custom tender design with an acronym of his name on the side instead of a British Railways crest or LMS logo.
- Big City Engine has green wheels despite having black wheels in the The Railway Series.
- Big City Engine and Push Along Thomas were the only two engines with counterweights on their wheels until the 2022 Wooden Railway range.
