Hi there Super, to answer your question:
The troublesome tanker was first released in 2001 for Plarail in the Thomas and the Mirthful Cars Freight Set - only available in Japan at the time. Then, in 2003 the box was updated for Japan and Korea. It was also sold in Australia however the box had a Tomica World box design - this variant of the set was shortly retired that same year. Then in 2011, the Japanese and Korean versions of the set from 2003 were retired. It was replaced by Thomas and the Freight Cars set.

- 2003 Plarail (Japan) - retired 2011
- 2003 Plarail (Korea) - retired 2011
