Thomas / ERTL Mini World

My mum discovered this on eBay while looking for other Thomas gifts and built up what is probably a complete collection. ERTL produced this toy in the mid 90s and stopped making it a few years ago. In short, it’s die-cast miniature Thomas the Tank Engine models with various characters, track and accessories.

My eldest son loves playing with it and I can’t imagine why ERTL discontinued it – or why they didn’t make more of the popular characters.

There’s next to no information on the web about it so I thought I’d compile a listing on the site to record it for posterity.
