THOMAS & FRIENDS Toby Motorized Locomotive with Cargo Wagon – Connects to Other Trains, Ages 3+

Bring Sodor adventures to life with Toby and friends

Young fans can imagine fresh stories on familiar rails with the THOMAS & FRIENDS Toby motorized locomotive and its matching cargo wagon. Designed for preschoolers, this battery-powered set comes to life with a simple top switch that sends Toby rolling along the track. The design captures the charm of a beloved character, inviting kids to narrate encounters, rescue missions, and spontaneous train runs as part of their everyday play. The freight car shown pairs with Toby to expand pretend journeys, and additional engines can join in to create bigger trains as playtime grows. Suitable for children aged 3 and up, this toy emphasizes creative storytelling supported by hands-on, tactile interaction.

Product details at a glance: The set includes one character-inspired locomotive and one freight car. Other engines and cars, sold separately, can be connected to build longer trains. A simple switch on the locomotive starts its motion, helping little hands learn cause-and-effect as stories unfold. Track compatibility is broad, though wooden tracks aren’t supported by this motorized line. For operation, you’ll need 2 AAA batteries, which power on-demand movement for repeated play sessions.
