Donald was the first engine to not have his tender permanently attached to him, and the first tender engine to not use a C size battery.
A prototype Plarail Donald features a different face, Thomas' cab windows, unique black side-rods, and gray traction tires.
Plarail Donald was individually released eight years before his twin Douglas internationally.
The TrackMaster (Fisher-Price) Donald was planned to be released in 2012, but was delayed to 2013.
