Trivia[]
- The prototype Fred features a larger, hand-painted face and sticker decals on his sides.
- Fred always had plastic coal despite being introduced in 1997 when most tender engines at the time still had painted coal.
- Fred always had painted eyes even when most other characters still did not, most likely because he has an embedded face.
- He is called "Pelhay" here, whereas in the Railway Series, it is actually illustrated as "Pelham/n". This is likely because Learning Curve was unable to read the text correctly.
