There's a couple of HiT Toys RC Thomas', one flip face and one regular face - well, regular in that it didn't flip, it had a different face from a normal Thomas. Mattel later continued making the regular faced one but dropped the white running plate. Then there were the 3 speed RC Thomas', I believe one with and one without clouds. I'm still a little unsure about the clouds vs no clouds 3 speeds, but I seem to remember someone having a video talking about them - maybe ucwepn? I've seen Gordon and James without clouds online I think, I'm not sure about Thomas. Then late in original Trackmaster they did an RC Thomas that was self contained, instead of needing a trailing truck to hold the batteries like the previous ones. This one had a simplified remote, not the big pistol grip type remotes of the others. The pistol grip ones have backwards when held, forwards when held, and forwards that clicks into place for controls, the later one just has forward and back buttons, and the 3 speed engines just have 3 forward settings with increasing speed
I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.
