THE WORLD OF
THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE
Soon after the debut of the television series, Hornby's World of Thomas the Tank Engine was launched to fill the demand for working models based on the characters, with both track powered electric and clockwork trains and sets available. The majority of the range reused toolings from Hornby's long history, with the exception of the aforementioned clockwork products, and Percy, whose intial "Caledonian Pug" prototype failed to obtain licensor approval.
