Mavis herself is a standard-length train (approximately 3" long), and made of wood, with a plastic face and wheels, and metal axles.
Mavis has mostly square edges with a rounded top to the engine room, and a large plastic "skirt" around the tires, which makes her different from most of our other engines.
In fact, the only reason that Mavis made it out of the bin for me to remember we had her was that my son made a foray into my daughter's room, and must have gotten away with Mavis because his sister just didn't care enough about her to stop him.
