Trivia[]

The first prototype 2002 Harvey features the magnet tethered to a string. The final magnet is connected to the end of the crane arm instead.
The second prototype 2002 Harvey features a tilted funnel.
Both prototype 2002 Harvey's feature a smaller chin and magnet, and no nail in the crane arm.
Harvey does not have a boiler as it would have interfered with the ability to rotate his crane arm 360 degrees.
The 2002-2010 Harvey is painted brown instead of red, has black wheels instead of red, and yellow and black buffers instead of brown, because it is based on magazine and book illustrations.
Harvey is not featured in the 2002 or 2004 pamphlets, however, he is featured in the 2002 and 2004 yearbooks. This also happened with Salty.
In the 2010 yearbook, he is incorrectly listed as a roadway vehicle.
