Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway is a comprehensive, open-ended play
system which can help develop physical, social and cognitive skills, as
well as foster a sense of accomplishment. Each year, a few of Thomas
friends pull out of the station.
Below, you will find a list of these
wooden Thomas friends and the year in which they retired. Please keep
in mind that some of these, such as Boco, have retired and have already
been re-introduced. So, just because a Thomas the Tank Engine toy is on this list
does not necessarily mean that they will not or have not returned to the
shelves.
