Puffa is a silver colored tank engine with two sloping tank on each side of his boiler and with three domes with a open back cab with a wood bunker.
Basis[]
Puffa is based on a DRG Class 80, which is a German engine. However, he has been modified with several American and British features.
His American modifications include an oil-burning headlight, a diamond smokestack, a cowcatcher, and an American style whistle. He also burns wood instead of coal.
His British styled modifications are a screwlink coupling and rear buffers which accommodate the British style rolling stock in the show and made filming a lot easier.
His unmodified basis can go around 28 miles per hour, so Puffa can likely go at a similar speed.
Livery[]
Puffa is painted in a dull grey all over, excluding his bright orange megaphone. His number 65 (formerly 1) is painted on the sides of his cab in gray with white lining.
