Thomas 'tiny' engines for miniature set?

[unicorn]

Bought this set from e-bay a while back, needless to say the dinky little engines (Thomas, Percy and possibly James) have long since been hoovered up by wicked mum here....

Anyone know where I can get any replacement engines from?

guess not?

unicorn, how little is little? saw some last weekend at the audley end steam railway shop for 4.99 each.

Thanks, but we're talking absolutely tiny.. 1cm or so!!!..(they go with the bluebird set)

Will keep looking on e-bay.

the "take-along": ones are quite good value

I just tried to find a website for Bluebird, unicorn - there doesn't seem to be one and apparently they were taken over by Mattel in about 1999.

Mattel's UK Customer Services page is here - try emailing them and see if they have spares?

Oh, I just saw that you bought it on ebay - do you think they don't make it any more?

I think it is a 'collectors' thing now...and prob worth something (well ours isn't!)

Oooh, is it this one ? We used to have one of these - though these pieces look bigger than I remember ours being. You could buy another whole set? (or else get a bigger one, with pieces that won't get hooved!)

that's the one... but you watch that price... it will shoot up....

they are v hard to come by (apart from e-bay that is!!!)

just want the engines tho.

awww that is so sweet.

i want it I want it

Is this one the same size as that other one?

fio, I used to play with ours more than DS2 did!

yep...
very deceptive these photo's aren't they!
I was surprised how small the set was... but ds does love it.

my son is thomas mad but I really do like the trains, he is into the wooden stuff which is quite expensive. He asked my mum for "lady" for easter and i did warn her how dear they were, but she was still shocked
