Trivia

 * Some of the models were previously displayed at Nitrogen Studios and Thomas Town.
 * Some of the characters' parts are broken or missing:
 * Three of the axle boxes on Edward's tender are missing.
 * Two of the axle boxes on Henry's tender are missing.
 * The axle boxes on Gordon's tender are missing. His rear left buffer was previously missing, but it was repaired in 2017.
 * Thomas' Pack scale model has been missing his headlamp since he was displayed at Thomas Town.
 * In 2014, Gordon's Tender came loose, but this was fixed later on in 2015.
 * James' Cab Detailing is missing, thus exposing his motor.
 * In 2017, Gordon's front brake pipe had broken off and is now glued onto Edward, giving him two front brake pipes.
 * Percy's whistle, tailamp, and headlamp lens are missing.
 * Donald and Douglas' eye mechanisms were broken when they were shipped to the museum. As a quick fix, the museum painted eyes for them.
 * Donald's tender is missing one of his buffers.
 * Sometime during one of the museum's Christmas exhibitions, Donald collided with another engine head-on, presumably due to a faulty switch. No known damage has been seen or done to either models.
 * Donald's nameplate is stained black, which is likely black-tac.
 * Clarabel was missing one of her buffers, but it was luckily repaired in 2016.
 * Henrietta is missing one of her buffers.
 * Harold was originally displayed without his mouth, but he has since regained it and been given a surprised expression.
 * The back of Ben's cab is missing, exposing his motor.
 * In 2019, Oliver has lost the handrail on his left side tank, as well as his right lamp iron.
 * As of 2020, Edward's whistle broke off.
 * The models are displayed in the state of their last use in filming of the twelfth series. This is why some of the engines have their happy, smiling, laughing, and content faces, whilst Gordon and Mavis have their concerned face masks, Toby has his scared face mask and Henry has his sad face mask.
 * James most likely does not have a full eye mechanism since his model was previously seen with a CGI motion tracker (used in the twelfth series to track the CGI faces on the engines while they were moving during production) while it was on display at Nitrogen Studios and is wearing a fake happy face mask.
 * Skarloey's clean shell from Wash Behind Your Buffers was sent by mistake rather than the main large scale model when the models were all shipped over and since it lacked a chassis, it couldn't be displayed.
 * Duck was also set to be shipped over but suffered damage during transit and was returned to Mattel's storage unit per the request of Sam Wilkinson.
 * The museum decorates the models during Christmas, as well as the museum's summer and spring festivals.
 * The models of Thomas, Bill, Ben, Annie and Clarabel were used as references for CoolProps, who are making replicas of those characters.
