Click photos for full size

In 2004 Tomy's range of Motor Road and Rail products was continuing to sell well in the U.K. alongside a variety of other Thomas licensed toys.

The first pages show some of the Thomas toys aimed at younger children including the Push 'n' Go trains.

The next page shows the chuffing Pull-Along Thomas, the new digital Musical Thomas, and the pullback Tomy engines.

The next page has the Plarail/Motor Road & Rail compatible Pullback 'n' Go Train Set and the Build 'n' Go Thomas.

Pages 8 and 9 include the Thomas Adventure Land also sold by Gakken and the recolored Thomas Big Loader.

There is an advanced form of a Magnadoodle as well as a neat remote control train with magnetic couplings.

12 pages in and we finally reach Thomas Motor Road & Rail... This is quite a large and involved setup but it would have theoretically been possible to get all this in the U.K. - tricky components include the red overhead catenaries include in a few small sets and expansion packs.

Page 14 has a contest for Day Out With Thomas tickets. The Thomas Bucket Set on the opposite page is one of the few places to get the single overhead wire holders outside of Japan.

New for 2004 is the Thomas Big Race Set with the Big and very cool Thomas & Terence Deluxe Action Set still on sale.

The regular Motor Road & Rail range was well-featured at this point with the cool Diesel and freight wagons pack and the Talk 'n' Action trains on sale.

Handily, pages 20 and 21 shows the track, road, and accessories that continued on from the Tomica World range.

This page shows an example layout built out of the Thomas Bucket Set with a large tower of track and points out what some of the shown accessories and vehicles are.

The rear cover advertises some accessory offers exclusive to the Tomy Careline phone line.
