Thomas and Friends Hornby

Hornby Railways produces a series of 00 gauge model railway engines, track, accessories and box sets based on the characters and locations of Thomas and Friends. The track and couplers are Hornby's standard; therefore the range is compatible with their main range.

Hornby launched its range in 1985, shortly after the debut of the television series. It mainly utilises modified versions of existing Hornby engines. In 2014, the range was discontinued, although Hornby released a statement saying that it was 'under review'. In 2015, Hornby reintroduced the Thomas line with selected models, rolling stock and sets to be released in December 2015. The reintroduced models retain their original faces, Edward, James and Gordon receiving improved tender driven motors and Henry being upgraded with a loco driven chassis. In addition, Edward, Henry, Gordon and James can now be converted to run via Hornby's Digital Controller (DCC).
