Can someone here produce a short and concise essay on the history of the "Manufactuers Only" of the Thomas plastic toy lines, i.e. Tomy, Hit Toys, Trackmaster, Mattel, Plarail, Tomica World and the ones I don't know about enough to name.
Spelling out and with a sharp focus on the who sold what, the when and the where. Keeping in mind, I'm not speaking about the individual named locos, just who made them.
And to keep it of a short nature, I'm really only interested in the battery operated plastic lines and not the electric or medal ones. Thank you for filling in the blanks of my knowleadge in this hobby.
