Oliver appears in the Boulder Mountain Set despite not being featured in the episode it was based on: Rusty and the Boulder. Hank's model does not have a front coupler like other Wooden Railway engines and his television series appearance. Interestingly, Connor and Caitlin's wooden models have front couplers, while their front couplers are concealed in the TV series. In late 2017, twenty-five years after the debut of the Wooden Railway line, it was retired and replaced with Wood. The replacement was originally announced to take place in 2018, but ended up happening sooner.

While Whiff's model has the correct amount of wheels, this results in him being longer than engines who should be the same size as him.
