Trivia
- One prototype 2007 Rosie features darker blue windows, slightly darker paint, and thicker side tanks.
- Despite originally having lip gloss and blush in the show, they were not featured until the 2011 Rosie was released.
- The prototype 2018 Rosie features lip gloss and blush. The final version lacks this.
- The final version of the 2022 Rosie has several differences from the box and promos:
- Blush is softer
- Extended roof is red plastic, with black painted on top
- Despite the 2022 Rosie having blush on her cheeks, she no longer has her makeup in the show.
- Thus far Rosie is the only steam engine in 2022 not to receive molded coal, possibly due to her bunker opening being too small.
