A large-scale working replica of James, along with Thomas, Percy, Gordon, Harold and Jack, was created by BBC Visual Effects for ''Thomas & Friends: The All Aboard Live Tour''. This battery-powered locomotive is listed in the ''[[Guinness Book of Records]]'' as the "largest model railway engine" ever built, at 2.64 x 1.5 x 6.52 metres.<ref>{{cite book |editor= Claire Folkard |title=Guinness World Records 2004 |year=2003 |publisher=Guinness World Records Limited |isbn=0-85112-180-2 |page=107}}</ref>

The [[Mid-Hants Railway]] repainted one of its engines – a [[Southern Railway N Class]] – into the livery of James. The engine retained this colour scheme for many years and participated in ''[[The Railway Series]]'' golden jubilee celebrations at the [[National Railway Museum]]. On the [[East Lancashire Railway]], unrestored [[LMS Ivatt Class 2 Mogul]] No. 46428 has been painted as James the Red Engine.

The Japanese [[Ōigawa Railway]]'s locomotives include five characters from the ''[[Thomas & Friends (franchise)|Thomas & Friends]]'' series: [[Thomas the Tank Engine]], Hiro, Percy, James, and Rusty. The locomotives are based at [[Shin-Kanaya Station]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Imada |first1=Kaila |title=You can now ride a real Thomas the Tank Engine train in Japan |url=https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/news/you-can-now-ride-a-real-thomas-the-tank-engine-train-in-japan-101322 |website=Time Out Tokyo |access-date=9 May 2024 |date=1 May 2023}}</ref>
