Daisy is a diesel railcar who was brought to the Island of Sodor for branch line service. When she first arrived, she was "highly sprung" and would only carry passengers because she felt she was too good to pull goods wagons. Daisy soon learned that all work is important, and now helps out whenever she can. Daisy is based on a diesel/mechanical single-car passenger unit built by Metro-Cammel. Bachmann carefully reproduces your favorite Thomas & Friends™ characters in HO scale. All locomotives feature realistic faces with moving eyes, operating electric drive mechanisms, highly detailed plastic body shells, all-metal wheels, and international-style hook-and-loop couplers.
