Those are the "prototype" thomas trains, back when Tomy was a little bit larger, same with the other trains there,

RE: early tomy train - ashfield.imp - 08-04-2015

oh, does that make them rare?

RE: early tomy train - ROCKINATOR - 08-04-2015

Yes and no, I have none myself, so you'd have to ask Ucwepn, I believe he has the whole collection. And they aren't nessicarly prototypes, but are the first variant.

thanks you very much, they a ugly things tho, can see why they made trackmaster

I've edited your post, the pictures should be ok now,

Yeah as said they are the old 'tomy trains'

I can remember the advers from TV when I was younger and me & my brother had a few trains & set, it's still at my mums house and my sons occasionally plays with it when we visit.....

They're great old toys but the connectors aren't fantastic (sometimes they want to mate vertically instead of horizontally) and the transmissions are so noisy! - and they all use the same chassis with interchangeable clip on bodies
