I was able to get some more McDonald Plarail trains on ebay. Based on the marking on the chassis, they were made sometime betwen 2012 -2014. There are so many variations even with one model. It appears Dr. Yellow is the most popular one among the them. I believe there are at least 3 different variations of Dr. Yellow. In case anybody wants to know the differences between a regular Plarail and a McDonald Plarail see photos below.

McDonald's version is a bit shorter. Maybe a bit higher. I don't think it will have problems clearing tomy tunnels

It can't be pull back motor as there are some already that features pull back motor and they don't like this .
If you are still interested in checking out more McDonald Plarail engines, I upload my entire collection.
