Howdy @"Super"!
To be honest, there are a plethora of names for the Thomas & Friends line, as TOMY USA once manufactured the line up until 2005.
From Japan, it is known as Plarail Thomas.
I myself just call it TAKARA TOMY Plarail Thomas & Friends, or just Plarail since Thomas & Friends is the sheer bulk of my collection.
Any real life Plarail engines are in their own little subcategory within the "Plarail" category of my collection.
