Hornby OO R9242 Circus Tent no.2 from Thomas the Tank
Thomas & Friends appeared in a series of children's books in the 1940s, and have delighted children and adults alike ever since. In 1984 Thomas & Friends appeared for the first time on British television and made an immediate hit - becoming without argument an even greater favourite with the younger fan.
The Hornby range includes many of Thomas' friends. This year there are new buildings to choose from, all of which add colour and excitement to the Hornby World of Thomas, and a range of new locomotives, coaches and wagons.
