Released in the UK initially in 1985, this line featured 1\/64 scale die-cast models and playsets based off of the characters from The Railway Series and its television counterpart. Many characters that were trains, cars, tenders, helicopters and even people were miniaturized and became collectible items as well as toys. Since being discontinued in 2004, the interest in these has only increased, with some characters becoming increasingly hard to find, albeit in good condition. Buying from this listing you will receive the exact item pictured. Please make sure you see the photos before submitting an offer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that this item uses custom 3D printed compatible parts! In this case, both of Derek's connectors, front and rear, have been replaced with a compatible part. 3D printing compatible parts prevents toys from going in the garbage, enabling them to continue being used and played with for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for any other brands or ranges of Thomas toys, please feel free to look at my store as I am always adding new listings and adding new stock.
