Paxton is a young, gentle diesel who likes the Steamies, especially Thomas. He can be a bit gullible, enabling other Diesels to take advantage of him. Paxton is based on a British Rail Class 08 Diesel-Electric Shunter.

Bachmann carefully reproduces your favorite Thomas & Friendsâ„¢ characters in Large 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.
