There are actually 3 slightly different versions of Stepney.
The Tomy model is a lighter mustardy yellowish color than the Hit and FP versions which are more of a pukey greenish yellow.
The FP version also has white painted eyes and mouth, a yellow painted whistle instead of gold, and a much brighter red deck too.

Thanks for that overview, Muddy. 
As we can see, Stepney is another character that needs to be re-released (with improvements, of course) in the future (or in another universe). Big Grin
I mean, Stepney is an original character (from the pen of the Rev. Awdry), and all three versions are... well, not that good: too many stickers (why on earth is that number a sticker?), and they stand out conspicuously and shout: I am a sticker!... Really sloppy.   
Stepney is a nice engine; he deserves better!

Would this be a good place to slip in a couple of pictures I took while visiting the Bluebell Railway with the Boy Scouts? My camera was rubbish (that's my excuse).

Those are great pictures Dr Chris. I am not familiar with Boy Scouts in the UK. How old were you when you took this picture? You had a very steady hand, I remember hard it was not to move slightly when taking a picture in the olden days as it would result in some blurriness  when the pictures were developed.

I love that smokebox door with all those bolts and love the stack too.

Maybe 14 or 15? I'm not sure. I've put a few more pictures from the same trip in a new thread here.

Not all FP Stepneys have white eyes and bright red buffer beams. I bought a 2009 FP Stepney, when it arrived i noticed it had unpainted eyes, Philips screws instead of FPs normal triangular screws, and had a darker buffer beam. Its exactly like a Hit Stepney in everyway except it has Mattel 2009 markings, same deal with the troublesome truck it came with, it didn't come with a CGI face, it had a classic face, and Philips, but with Mattel markings. I believe Mattel had some old Hit stock and they used it.
If it ain't motorized I don't want it!       Cool Big Grin
