1. Oh, man, I think my hubby just sold ours, but I'll check.
I swear I enjoyed them just as much as my son did!

2. Alas, my hubby gave to a family we knew going through tough times.
Their daughter LOVED the Thomas trains, so it was worth it.

3. Check Ebay maybe.
I bought a few trains there a couple of years back. I also got about 12 Thomas videos for under $30. Sometimes you can find some good deals.
My guy's only 3, so we're not quite ready to give them up yet. Good luck in your quest. :)

4. Thanks, Ebay gives me a headache (plus you never know if you
are supporting a rep.) Just thought I would ask, maybe someone hadn't thought about selling them on ebay but wanted to get rid of them with some extra cash for Christmas!

6. I have a few
Edited on Fri Nov-26-04 11:39 AM by outraged2
I have a few of the wooden/brio type engines and cars.... Toby, a red one( James? or Henry?), but we also have the metal ones that don't go with any track set I know of.... Thomas, Rusty, Godred, Lord Harry, Stepney, Harold the Helicopter ... ten or so that I know of, there may be a few others hiding in the other toys. I'd be happy to send them your way, my son has grown out of them.

7. I'll definitely take the Toby!
Are the metal ones smaller than the wooden ones, like the ones they sell at Target?

8. the metal ones
The metal ones are pretty much the same size as the wooden ones, just more detailed. I don't know about Target....maybe so - it does seem like I saw some there a while ago, but I am not positive. I got ours at the 'train store'.

9. My son liked Toby so much...
we had to name our second child after him.

True.

So I'm sorry to say, I can't give you ours.:hi:

10. What are you looking for?
Do you want any particular characters?
