The Gold Rail Series was a short-lived line in the 1990s. Designed by Bandaiin Japan, the models had magnetic couplings and are a fraction smaller than a HO scale train. The back of the models boxes featured the same illustration and Collector Card number as those on the Shining Time Station collectors cards of the die-cast range.
Around 1991, a miniature range was produced. The vehicles had sticker faces and were packaged with a small section of a railway. Once all were collected, the parts formed a playset. In later years all of the models, besides Henry, Mavis, Bertie and Harold were adapted into keyrings. The background imagery of these packs continued the landscape from...

There is an idle jockey wheel between the two front wheels, which is displaced when in reverse, creating the perception of turning. The cord to the remote runs from under t...

More personalised money box models were planned for release in 2005, which included Bertie, Caroline and the Sodor Mail Van, but these...
