Hehe, here's something I might be of assistance with
So, while i'm no more clued up as to where one might find these [and believe me, that 'World Engine Series' is mighty tempting for someone who liked the few stabs Plarail made at a similar effort in the 90's with the TGV, Eurostar and Virgin Train models], I can tell you that TaoBao is basically just the Chinese shopfront for Aliexpress, with prices in Yuan/Renminbi and delivery only to Chinese addresses... It's even owned by Alibaba so yeah, if you find it there, odds on it's on AliExpress which is basically just international TaoBao.
Hope that helps somewhat, if only to confirm that TaoBao isn't a new Chinese shopping site lol
