Lot #2: Item 1/4

You got two S.C. Ruffeys with the moulded face? I really like the look of this version of him (HiT Toys had better rolling stock than Tomy and Fisher Price combined). It also makes him stand out compared to the other trucks, which makes perfect sense because he's their leader.

Thank you, Super! As for the weathered look, it's because S.C.Ruffey is very old. There is no merchandise of the present version of S.C.Ruffey (present as in whatever year Thomas and Friends takes place in). In the show, he appeared as one of the oldest troublesome trucks in the yard, and he was rusty and had rotten wood because of it, which is what gives him his unique orange color scheme. After Oliver pulled him apart to teach the trucks a lesson, he was rebuilt and he looked like a normal truck aside from the lettering and face.

Actually, you're wrong. When I got my Tomy Ultimate Set, it came with a S.C. Ruffey that was based on his rebuild:

I don't know of any other merchandise lines where S.C. Ruffey was not in his original livery.
