Editorial Review
Assigned to the Farquhar Quarry Co., Ltd., Mavis is one of the hardest-working engines on the Thomas Wooden Railway System. Still, by her smile and bright eyes, we can tell that this six-wheeled, 3.25-inch-long worker bears her burdens cheerfully. Made of sturdy wood and plastic, black-and-white Mavis is part of a whole creative system of train-car characters, wooden tracks, and scenery based on the popular Thomas the Tank Engine book, television, and video series. She attaches to other cars via heavy-duty magnets. Like all Thomas Wooden Railway parts, Mavis carries a lifetime warranty. --Joan DeClaire

Summary: Mavis --> There's Only One Diesel with Sidebars! 2005-07-18
Comment: What can you say about an engine who manages to get cheerful little Toby mad at her!
Mavis is a young, feisty diesel whose inexperience frequently gets her into trouble. That said, she *is* learning; and certainly after she shows her usefulness, she becomes one of the crew. (Even though she is a Diesel they don't hold that against her.)
Like all of Thomas' friends Mavis is sturdy and a great pal. She is also very useful in the development of 'made up' Thomas tales.
In appearance Mavis is black with the yellow markings around her square face. In addition, and for reasons unexplained, she has sidebars and a cow catcher which is certainly not standard quarry attire. It does mean, however, that she can substitute on Toby's line from time to time.
Four stars. Mavis is a nice, second-string engine.

Summary: Mavis the diesel engine 2005-07-06
Comment: If your child enjoys acting out the Thomas & Friends episodes, Mavis is a black diesel engine with yellow stripes around her face who works in Toby's quarry. At first, the quarry manager would not let Mavis go out much, but when she saved Toby from falling off a bridge, the quarry manager decided to give her a second chance. She and Toby are now best pals and work together to get the troublesome trucks in shape at the quarry.
To expand the fun of Mavis, you can get the quarry mine tunnel and send Mavis for the ride of her life. If you need an engine to help Toby with the work in the quarry, I recommend getting Mavis.

Summary: Great fun, but shows wear early 2004-05-05
Comment: My boys love Thomas and all his friends (and I like that Mavis is a lady engine but is really tough). Mavis gets played with often and in general she is, as most all of the Thomas line, durable. However, her black paint seems to chip off more easily along her edges than with the other engines - could be it just shows up more because of the color. I say it shows that she is loved when my sons ask why her paint is chipping, but you might warn your kids to be extra careful with Mavis. Otherwise, she's a lot of fun.

Summary: Mavis has changed since my day 2004-01-29
Comment: I was just looking at my 8 year old Mavis and I relized it only has four wheels. The one in the picture has 6 wheels. Of course Salty in the picture has eight wheels and our Salty has six but that made me wonder. Because of Mavis's sideplates she doesn't run very well but my little sister loves her anyway. I wish they'd make the magnets like the take along Thomas magnets that u can connect both ways but I guess we can't have everything.

Summary: One of the few Female Engines 2003-07-01
Comment: Mavis is a diesel engine that works in the Sodor quarry. She sometimes is too independent for her own good. Mavis has sleek black paint, a cowcatcher, and buffers around her wheels. Her smiling face will be sure to brighten up your child's playtime. Choose Mavis or any of the fun Thomas products. They're great!
