## Product Description

### **1993 ERTL collector card**

*Daisy was built especially for service on Thomas' branch line. At first she was rather concelted but she soon settled down. However, she still believes, quite rightly, that she should only carry passengers, and never, ever pulls, although she will help out in an emergency.*

### **Historical Note**

*Daisy is properly described as a diesel/mechanical single-car passenger unit, of a type built by Metro-Cammell.*

*Daisy is a classy, sassy passenger diesel. She believes that she should only carry passengers, and never ever pulls, althouth she will help out in an emergency.*

## Trivia

* Daisy's first ERTL prototype depicts her with a printed image of her face from the show.
* Daisy is the only engine in the ERTL range to not have a front coupling.
* Daisy is also the only engine to lack eyebrows. This is likely because she didn’t have eyebrows in the classic era.
* Due to how low Daisy's ERTL model is, when the range was given new couplings in 2001 her coupling had to be raised.
* Daisy's 2002 ERTL collector card states she was built for Thomas' Branchline this is incorrect as she was built to work on the mainland and then loaned to the Fat Controller. And the Fat Controller decided to purchase her.
* Daisy’s ERTL Collection promo art depicts her with a Co-Bo wheel arrangement and green chassis and bogies. The former is due to her mistakingly wearing BoCo's front bogie in a series 3 promotional picture.
	+ Her Take Along prototype also shared this wheel arrangement.
* Some copies of Take Along Daisy are dated 2008 despite her coming out in 2007. Because most Take Along vehicles were dated to the year prior to their release, her chassis should say 2006.
* Daisy's Take Along model was released in the smaller style box in the UK, but was released in the larger style box in the US. This also happened with D199.
	+ Daisy was also released in the larger style UK box, however it is unknown which version was released first.
