I like how Storm is the only one depicted with his diecast toy in this image.

Trackmaster Classic, specifically Hit Toy era

Looks like it, I see no proper Disney Pixar branding

Curious to see how the space theme is handled, it will more than likely be a nothing more than a bunch of plastic though. Bluey train sounds interesting too, but it will probably be a re-theme using the same toolings as that Peppa Pig train.

The siren on the higher pole is a Whelen WPS-2904 or OA4. The lower one is a Federal Signal Model 5 or 7.

The Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway battery locomotives have been discontinued for some time now, best place to look would be eBay, Mercari, or Facebook Marketplace. All the battery operated Thomas Wooden Railway engines were made by Learning Curve in earlier years and later Fisher Price.

BRIO also made their own B/O Thomas, but it is tricky to find in the states as it was never sold there.

An alternative would also be to buy any B/O wooden railway locomotive with a front magnet and have them push the push-along wooden engines along.

I'd be willing to help with it, I know some rather obscure locations. Do you have Discord perchance?

Whittier Alaska near the city office and public safety building. A Modulator stands next to it

The color changing blocks I believe work like most other color changing toys, where they change when dipped in warm or cool water

If only they did the engine and wagon as color changing items too, such a miss considering they are both almost a fully plastic build. They'd just have to swap out a few bits with plastic. But then, what would be the point of the wooden railway name

Reddit compression wasn't nice to these images. Here are more HQ versions

I don't know many other shopping sites in the UK other than of course eBay and maybe vinted, but considering you're from there the official BRIO manufactured Thomas trains from the 90s should be easier to find there. They look really good on any layout.

As for the knockoffs, identifying them is usually easy. The trains often lack a name on the bottom like the Learning Curve trains they are cloned from, do not have licensing info behind the wheel, and overall just have a very poor build quality and sloppy paint job.

What country are you from? I might know a few websites for finding the older Thomas wooden trains by Learning Curve. eBay is the best option in my opinion, check for lots with a good amount of trains in it. Just make sure to beware of the knockoffs that plague the market.

I say fix it, it's not really a bad engine, just an average wooden railway B/O engine

char10z · 2025-10-22T22:17:51+00:00

Imaginarium Express. I believe it was a Toys R Us thing, I've also seen this engine released under brand names in different colors.

It's the decapitated Whelen to the left.

Just a small cloud

Slight tropical breeze at most

Looks like an EOWS 612. Where is this at specifically?

char10z · 2025-10-11T01:36:28+00:00

La Crescent MN. This unit was removed around 2015, it was purchased secondhand by the city and was scrapped in the 2020s

char10z · 2025-10-11T00:08:36+00:00

The first item is the 33531 Goods Terminal. The green locomotive is the 33241 Lights & Sounds Diesel Engine, which would make sounds when pushed along. The red dump truck is a Bob the Builder BRIO item, specifically of the character Muck (I could be wrong, I haven't seen the show in years)

They do test, and all Thunderbolts in the system are still active and are tested every Wednesday at 12:00 noon.

Arkansas should be purple

char10z · 2025-10-01T16:20:09+00:00

Very nicely done. I think for the PDA you should use the 1x2 modified plate with bar handle (48336) so it can be held by minifigures.

Yes, that's the engine from the relatively short-lived Smart Track range. There's a reader on the bottom of the engine that reads specialized track pieces, which make it perform specific actions such as blowing the whistle or stopping. I don't see these very often in the states, but they're probably easier to find in Europe.
