BACHMANN JAMES THE RED ENGINE #5. N SCALE. THOMAS & FRIENDSJAMES THE RED ENGINE Model: 58793 Shipping Weight: 0. 5lbs Scale: N 1: 160 James is the No. 5 red engine. He is a medium sized engine whose six driving wheels are not as big as Gordon's but not as small as Thomas'. He has a fine scarlet coat and brass dome and thinks of himself as a Really Splendid Engine. Occasionally this leads to misguided ideas about the sort of work suitable for such a distinguished engine, invariably landing James in trouble.
