I've just been having a look at some of these vehicles. The first thing to say is that the switches in the Motor Tomica / Tomica World vehicles powered by size N/LR1 batteries are NOT the same as the switches in the Thomas vehicles such as Terence, Jeremy, Bertie, Bulgie and so on that are powered by AAA or AA batteries. Since the original enquiry was about Terence we'll concentrate on him for the moment.
This is a de-constructed Terence (not quite in focus, but good enough)
The dimensions of the switch are:
L = 8.5mm
W = 4.5 mm
D (not including switch arm) = 4.5mm
protruding length of switch arm = 6mm
legs = 3 (of which only 2 are used)
Now to find a match, (and see if I can get him back together again) ...
