I have a bunch at my grandmothers. When I was little, I set up train tracks on my Tomas table and played with them.

I think every little boy had a train phase. I don't actively collect them, but I never got rid of the ones I had when I was a kid, they were awesome. I don't remember who made them but they are different from what I see in stores now. They were about halfway between N and HO scale trains and were predominantly diecast. I remember that the wheels were set further apart on some than others so that a big engine such as Gordon could fit perfectly on HO scale tracks, but a smaller one like Percy or Thomas wouldn't.
Anyway, Thomas the Tank Engine is pretty great, and I'm glad kids still love em'. I personally never grew out of my train phase. I see Norfolk and Southern Engines around here all the time and I still freak the F out like a kid. If I could afford model railroading, I would totally do it.

If it's die cast, it could be cut from the same mold. Fisher Price bought the rights from Learning Curve (the previous company that made the Thomas toys) and all Learning Curve stuff got sent to Ross/Marshall's/TJ Maxx. All the toys seem pretty much the same, just with updated packaging with Fisher Price's logo on it. Some have slight differences, but that's it. |

I used to have a bunch of them when I was little. I gave them away to my nephew about 10 years ago. I don't know if they still have the duffel bag of them anymore

Well my son and I have reached the amount needed to send away for Special Edition Silver Thomas. I'll update in 8-12 weeks when I receive it. Haha.

Sadly, I don't think the offer is available to people in the UK, which is a shame, because Thomas was created here. /:
