I'm not 100 percent on this, but I've had a lead or 2 on them. A silver percy not sure what he comes with. and a bronze diesel with tanker & troublesome truck? the diesel set looks similar to annie & clarabel in the 60th anniversary edition mentioned here earlier.
Yes the "golden grail" Thomas seems to be "the one"...
If a silver Percy and bronze Diesel exist, ( like the wooden set) this is the first I've ever heard of them and I have searched for ALL rare Thomas trains everyday for over five years now..
There have been numerous one-off prototypes and also "personal" trains given to corporate executives only...
One such piece that exists is a Lion of Sodor flatbed car that was never released for sale that sold on eBay a few years ago...grrrr
Play nice & have fun!!
