Unfortunately I don't think there are any other independent ones remaining, as far as I can see in recent years Dapol, Lima (Italy) and Joeff (France) have all been swallowed up by Hornby. Unless the plan is to sell them under one of the other brands.
The only other European brands big enough that spring to mind are Fleischmann, Marklin, Roco and Liliput none of those are even interested in UK outline at the moment let alone Thomas. I guess Bachmann are favourite to pickup the franchise as they already have a range available. The only downside there is they are not as detailed as the Hornby versions

Happily collecting things all my life...
