It was not clear if it would be able to exert sufficient traction to pull three Emily passenger cars. I needn't have worried. This little guy pulls smoothly and without hesitation throughout the track and through track switches (turnouts). It could probably handles a couple more cars on level track. As a bonus, its bright green color with gold and red decoration makes for a very charming locomotive. One problem developed was that the tender is too light and was inclined to derail on curves; but was easily corrected by adding two US quarter coins (I am sure other nations's denominations would work equally well) to the existing weight already inside the tender. Two very small screws on the underside of the tender released the body for adding the coin weights, glue dots holding them firmly in place. Have fun with this guy; its a charmer.

I bought this for my son. I am not sure what you mean by the track master. This engine is HO scale. I would consider it somewhat small. If you look up HO scale electric trains, you will get a good idea on size. **Q: Can track be purchased to extend the track?** A: Yes. We have ordered lots of tracks for this. **Q: What’s included with Emily engine?** A: It just her and her tender ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***H on May 26, 2015* I had some initial concerns whether this little engine would be suitable for carpet running on Bachmann track because it has only two driving wheels.

What I did was removed the face, and replaced it with a boiler door. Put on working lamps, like the prototype, and installed a DCC decoder with sound. Brought it to the club, and one of the club members offered to buy it. It's not finished, but the Thomas and Friends trains offers a good base to make the trains you can't buy. I'll be doing this again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bachmann Trains Thomas And Friends - Emily Engine With Moving Eyes , Green - Bachmann Trains - THOMAS & FRIENDS EMILY'S COACH - HO Scale - Bachmann Trains - THOMAS & FRIENDS EMILY'S BRAKE COACH - HO Scale , Green --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/728023094-bacman-ho-scale-thomas-the-tank-engine-emily-028-58748](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/728023094-bacman-ho-scale-thomas-the-tank-engine-emily-028-58748) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
