Wooden Railway

Wooden Railway is a wooden model railway system created by Learning Curve in 1992. They held the rights until 2011. TOMY owned the rights to Wooden Railway in 2012. Since 2013, the range has been produced by Fisher-Price. It is one of the longest-running Thomas merchandise lines.

Product History, Design, and Make
Learning Curve introduced some new designs for the track surface of wooden toy railways, such as the "clickety-clack" rails patented in 1995 and the newer tracks with a relief to supply better traction grip for battery powered engines, patented in 2002. They also introduced a road "track" on the flip-side of the railway tracks.

The original models were constructed mainly from painted wood with metal used in the coupling magnets and axles and plastic for the wheels and faces. These models were relatively simple, with simple wooden stubs for the funnel and dome and details such as windows, whistles, and bufferbeams omitted.

In the late 1990s and early 2000's, the models were upgraded. The wooden funnel and smokebox were replaced with a separate plastic smokebox with a more realistic funnel. The tender engines received an additional upgrade of molded plastic coal.

These improved designs were manufactured until 2002, when they were replaced with a third generation of design, which included new and more detailed faces. Another update came in 2011 in the form of new faces to coincide with the recent CGI switchover.

In late 2011 TOMY bought Learning Curve and as such acquired the rights to the Wooden Railway line. They sold the products previously planned to be released by Learning Curve for early 2012. The products due to be released in late 2012 to coincide with the special, Blue Mountain Mystery, were cancelled because Learning Curve had only developed computer generated prototypes before they were acquired by TOMY. From 2013 onwards, the range is produced by Fisher-Price.

Yearbooks
From the introduction of the Wooden Railway system, Learning Curve (now RC2), have made yearbooks to feature their items. The items would be standard "mugshots" for engines and cars, while sets would be shown overall. The cover would also occasionally feature the new items on it with Thomas usually being in the foreground.

Trivia

 * The tender engines originally had their coal painted on their tenders, but they now have molded plastic coal.
 * The prototype for Skarloey used Percy's face.
 * The new Rheneas models have white wheels.
 * Underneath Duke's tender it reads "Coal Car" instead of "Duke's Tender".
 * The original Bill and Ben prototypes used James' face.
 * Salty's prototype had eight wheels.
 * Kevin's original model's wheels were red instead of yellow, this was fixed in the 2013 release.
 * Trevor's wheels are black instead of red.
 * Oliver's original model had black wheels.
 * The prototype Stepney and Oliver used Thomas' face.
 * Some discontinued items are bundled with US DVDs and VHSs.
 * Luke and Stafford's prototypes had six wheels. Also, one of Luke's prototypes had green wheels instead of black.
 * Flying Scotsman's reintroduced model features the British Railways logo with "Mainland Railway" printed beneath.
 * Flying Scotsman's reintroduced model's box features the tenders and text in the wrong positions.
 * Connor's prototype was Spencer's model repainted.
 * Sidney's hazard stripes are on his front bufferbeam instead of under his face
 * Bertram's mode in the  Wooden Railway range is based off the original prototype he was going to be in season 5 and not a Learning Curve original.
 * Hank's model does not have a front coupler like other Wooden Railway engines and his television series appearance.  Interestingly, Connor and Caitlin's wooden models have front couplers, while their front couplers are concealed in the TV series.
 * Duck's original model had no funnel, and his reintroduced model's prototype has a green one. His production model, however, has been given the correct black one.
 * Rosie's models never included the pink on her lip or cheeks, until her Battery Powered model in 2011.
 * A few models do not have black chassis.
 * The first editions of Bill and Ben featured sticker detail like the 1992 Toby.
 * In Asia, this series is referred to as the Thomas Wooden Rail Series.
 * Marion's model has no front magnet.
