- Hornby launched its range in 1985, shortly after the debut of the television series. It mainly utilizes 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).
- Hornby Railways dates back to 1901 and is the leading brand of model railway in the United Kingdom. Frank Hornby founded the company officially in 1907 and the first trains were powered by a high quality clockwork motor, made of metal pressings held together by Meccano nuts and bolts. The first electric train was introduced in 1925 operating from a mains supply of 100-250 volts.
