A couple of months ago I saw that EXACT green thomas on gumtree.com and it was being sold somewhere near manchester

Aliexpress has the blue version of it. I acquired a knockoff version. Lets just say you don't want young kids to play with them. the rolling stocks fall apart relatively easily.

I do like a couple things on this knockoff but because I don't have it in hand to feel the quality I am not sure it would serve the purpose.

I do like those long side rods that are like some of the older Tomy/Trackmaster type and that middle wheel. Both these could serve as neat parts for customs. Also the motor which, by the way, is simplistic in its gearing and because of that, the engine is not free wheeling (Revolution) looks to be strong and might serve to be a good replacement if needed for our Tomy/Trackmaster engines.

These parts might prove valuable but only if this set is super cheap like most of the Chinese knockoffs are.

@Super I agree! Also I think Leo said it was about 20 dollars in that video

RE: Knockoff green thomas - Super - 07-25-2021

Yes he did say $18 but in Australian Dollars (less than $14usd) right? So if there was any shipping costs would put it in the not worth it for parts in my estimation.

you may able to score one at a small toy store. That's how I found a Thomas knockoff set. The engines are too high to clear the trackmaster tunnels. The motor design shouldn't be compatible to trackmaster.

I created a page dedicated to the knockoffs.

Nice page!

I have a gordon from this lineup, the plastic quality isn't great as the toy broke with rough play at a very young age. Several parts snapped easily and the tender has a huge crack in it. I've got no idea where gordon is and the last i remember he was in pieces.

Would not recommend using these or their parts.
