This set includes a standard 2003-and-on export Thomas with Annie and Clarabel as well as a regular 2000s Bertie with external screw.
The road and rail is all updated 2000s track with the squared-off Tomy logo tooled into it. The station crossing is also the updated logo type.
This crossing has a rail stopper for the train on one side and two road stoppers on either side of the gates. The green button near the two trees lets Bertie pass, and when Thomas crosses the road section the crossing gates automatically close over the road.
Here is a scanned copy of the instructions for this set. Unfortunately, I don't have the book.
This set plays on the classic story of Thomas and Bertie racing along their passenger routes. The twisting road that crosses over the rail and the station crossing offer nice cross-play while reading the included book.
