About this deal

Available in both his original and new liveries; his original one was from the Treasure Chase Set, while the new one is available with Hugo Some of the newer tender engines have their battery compartments as part of their motors, contained within the engine boiler so as to avoid having a wire that could break between the two parts of the engine. As of 2014, this change has been made to every engine as they all use the same chassis.

In 2014, the engines were redesigned, with a new, less powerful (but faster) motor, a longer wheelbase, unpainted buffers, silver siderods and couplers, printed details and interchangeable chassis. All tenders are made of plastic, share the same four-wheel chassis, and have buffers located on the wrong side.The graffiti variants of Gordon and James do not come with tenders, with their numbers instead being painted on their cabs. The Thomas model used for advertising the Fix 'em Up Friends set is different than the model from the set. Ashima's hyper glow model incorrectly depicts her as a 0-4-0 than a 0-8-2. Her standard model also has uncoloured middle wheels.

A number of individual copies of Gator's model are only painted the lighter shade of green, while most Gator models are accurately painted two-tone green. Sonny's model reuses Thomas's footplate and there is a noticeable gap under his smokebox, much like with Hong Mei's Adventures model. Despite the All Around Sodor Deluxe Set showing the Push Along Emily with her number on marketing, she does not actually have her number on the actual toy itself. The 2021 reissue of the Push Along Emily features her 12.Additionally, James' prototype incorrectly portrayed him as an 0-6-2 and his tender had a removable coal load, like the Motorized Interactive Talking James from the original series. Sonny was the last new CGI-based character introduced in the range. Following the show's conclusion and prior to the launch of the All Engines Go range, the Push Along range shifted to creating differently decorated variants of previous model castings. Much like his Plarail model, Winston has a front coupling and a Sir Topham Hatt figurine, but unlike the Plarail model, the Motorized version of said figurine is not removable. This range of engines appear to be slightly bigger than the normal Motorized engines. This was likely done as these toys are meant for a younger audience.

Other characters in the range, such as Stepney, Arthur, Molly, Neville, Hank, BoCo, Dodge, Dennis, Duke, Freddie, Colin, and some of the other Sodor Construction Company vehicles, never appeared in the CGI series at all, although some were originally considered to return in CGI at some point or were at least indirectly mentioned in the CGI series. Talking Diesel uses his Misty Island Rescue horn sound while the UK/US redesigned one has his original horn sound.As of late 2020/early 2021, newer engines in the range now have painted pupils, similar to the ones in the Wood and Motorized ranges. The engines also have their respective names printed on their chassis in white, which is very similar to vehicles in the Wooden Railway line. Some of the earlier engines from this range also had this change. Monty's model was unofficially released in Poland stores and has become exceptionally rare, however some models have been found in other countries such as the UK.

This can be avoided by having a singular Push Along sit between the Adventures model and Push Along tender engine. Edward's 2014 model's pilot wheels are moulded into his running board and the prototype of the model shows them unpainted. The wheels were coloured for the final release.As with the series itself, the engines' wheels no longer have spokes or side rods. However, a hole exists for side rods on the driving wheels. Harold's model is simply a re-release of the 2013 Take-n-Play/2017 Adventures model without noticeable changes. It is also dated 2013 on the bottom. Etienne's prototype shows him with siderods. This error is also present on Raul and Gustavo, who feature them on their final models.
