Trivia

 * According to Spencer in a magazine story, S.C. stands for 'Special Carriage.'
 * Some TrackMaster toys of Duck were seen with a plain grey truck with a brown-orange chassis. This seems to represent S.C. Ruffey, but it may also have been a prototype.
 * S.C. Ruffey was made out of a modified Tenmille vacuformed gauge 1 7-plank open wagon.
 * Capsule Plarail has produced S.C. Ruffey so he can be either fully intact or split apart like in "Toad Stands By".
 * The Bluebell Railway owns a Southern Railway 5-plank wagon that is currently disguised as S.C. Ruffey.
 * In Put Upon Percy, the front truck at the train in the mine has S.C. Ruffey's face. His face was also seen on another truck in Double Teething Troubles.
