this page features the takara thomas and friends engines i have. they seem to be much better quality than the standard tomy and trackmaster releases. mostly they appear to have white footplates as opposed to the red, though there are some exceptions.
oigawa type c11 thomas and c56 james
this thomas is based on the one used at a japanese day out with thomas event. he is really nicely detailed and comes with 2 proper coaches, not annie and clarabel. he has a vastly different shape to normal, but still retains his classic charm.
really pleased with this one, something totally different.

the oigawa type c56 james is based on the engine that runs at the oigawa railway. he comes with the same coach as thomas. he has a completely different shape to the standard james, but i almost like this one better. the battery is contained within the main body, so the tender has no wires to worry about breaking anymore. it is still permanently attached though.

thomas wrapping keihan
i got these wonderful sets from my good friend and fellow collector, Geris. they are based on real trains in japan that were wrapped in thomas skins. these are reasonably hard to find and usually go quite high. really pleased to own them.
