Gabriela is based on Baroneza II and has been modified to work with British rolling stock, including the addition of buffers and screw-link couplers.

CGI model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. Gabriela was created from scratch in CGI by Jam Filled Toronto for the twenty-third series. The model was "hand sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.
