Technical Details[]
Possible Basis[]
Jackman is not based on any real-life locomotive, and is mostly a freelance design. However, his design is likely based on a Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) Intercity Materieel (ICM), nicknamed "Koploper" due to the "walk-though head" cab design. However, in the show, Jackman is diesel powered, whereas the real ICMs are electrically powered. Additionally, given to Jackman being a crane locomotive designed for rescue purposes, his concept is likely based on various heavy rescue vehicles that have cranes mounted on them.

The inspiration for Jackman's concept
Livery[]
Jackman is painted red with a navy underbite, red and yellow caution stripes on either side of his underbody, and navy and light sky blue lining. His window frames are white, while his windows are painted blue.
During production, he was originally going to be named "Logan Blaze". Had he kept this name, it would have made him the second chugger in the franchise to have a first and last name, the first chugger being Speedy McAllister.
In the sixth series, Jackman's accent in the US dub was de-emphasized to an American accent.
In the US dub, Jackman was no longer voiced by Michael Byers after Season 5, although he still voices him in the UK dub of Season 6.
He is also the first character to no longer have the same voice actor in both English dubs and now have separate voice actors.
He is the second crane chugger to appear on the show. The first being Skylar, the third being Russ, and the fourth being Rosa.
Both of his English voice actors are coincidentally named "Michael".
Jackman's horn sound is a generic stock truck horn sound.
