obviously I opened the toy as his batteries were dead and didn't make any sound

the front with Ernie1 as a licence plate 

another angle

one side with the lamp and all

size comparison to the battery operated jubilee 

another with the diecast version of jubilee 

overall I may be one of the few people out there to have a good conditioned ernie1 may get new batteries in the future but for now he doesn't have any
I also got another item but it still hasn't arrived and when it does I will do another post

[Super]

I love that little Ernie 1. Is he the same size as normal Wooden Thomas Trains?

well the ernie 1 is somewhat bigger than a wooden railway Thomas as seen here (better image)

[Super]

It was the magnets that made me think of the comparison. Does the wheel base match though?

well they most likely do since it can go on tomy track will get images at some point

[Super]

That would be great T-Real, if you could compare it side by side with a regular Plarail too would be great. I love the looks of that little guy.

What kind of sounds does he make?

well I will do these images when I finish my nap and I can't try it as I removed the old batteries because they were dead didn't work (were there for 14 years) luckily it wasn't really corroded so it could possibly work I will get ryan to compare the size maybe some other characters like trackmaster porter maybe get a ruler and use that too thanks I will do many comparisons due to its uncommon status

well I took some of them and now I need to find a ruler to measure but other than that here are some of them

Ryan and the ernie 1

I will get these ruler pictures done when I find a ruler but for now here they are

[Super]

Thanks so much T-Real for the comparison pictures. Ernie 1 is a bit bigger than I was hoping for, especially taller, but still might be doable. It does look like a Plakid might look good inside the Cab though.

I did some measurements and it was around 3.9 cm the 6.9 cm from buffer to buffer 3.4 the yellow square 3.8 the silver from bottom to top 6.1 cm
here are some images to demonstrate it better althought most of these measurements may not be correct but at least it can be a rough estimate 

some added ones
