Thomas and Friends Adventures Wiki



Welcome to the Thomas and Friends Adventures Wiki
Adventures is a Thomas and Friends die-cast toy range produced by Fisher-Price and the successor to the Take-n-Play range. The design of the engines and vehicles is very similar to the Collectible Railway range, while the track system is different from either range.

Trivia

 * Adapters to connect Adventures track and trains to those of Take-n-Play are available directly from Fisher-Price.
 * The engine models are the same as those of the Collectible Railway and 2014-onwards Take-n-Play. As such, they share many of the same characteristics, including:
 * Edward, Henry and Merlin are incorrectly depicted as 2-6-0's.
 * Henry is incorrectly depicted with a Fowler tender.
 * Gordon is depicted with a 0-6-2 wheel arrangement.
 * Hiro, Spencer, Connor, Belle and Caitlin are depicted with a 2-6-2 wheel configuration.
 * Some of the tender engine's prototypes are depicted with Fowler tenders, when the actual model has the correct tender body.
 * Many of the tender engines have the red footplate (chocolate for Emily or either colour for each engine) above their wheels, much like their Take-n-Play predecessors and unlike their Collectible Railway models which had the tender molded onto the footplates themselves, which are same color as the tender itself.
 * Gina has her nameplate only on her right side.
 * Trevor's wheels are grey instead of red, much like his Take Along predecessor.
 * Hugo's wheels are black instead of blue.
 * His propeller also has three blades instead of four blades.
 * Diesel's face is printed on, much like the ones on the Minis toy range.
 * In the Monster Maker Train Pack prototype, Gator is seen wearing a duplicate middle piece from Max.
 * The Talking Space Mission Thomas' space helmet is the same as the Stanley in Space model's helmet.
 * Space Mission Thomas, Dino Discovery James, Pirate Quest Diesel and Shark Escape Salty are all US, AUS and UK-exclusives.
 * Timothy's promotional image depicts him with a full red buffer beam, similar to his Take-n-Play predecessor, but the produced item incorrectly has the red coloring on the bottom half with the top half being blue.
 * The Space Mission Thomas, Dino Discovery James, Pirate Quest Diesel and Shark Escape Salty models all use their molds from the pre-2014 era of Take-n-Play, though their chassis are the same as their normal Adventures models.
 * They also feature the same voices as their Take-n-Play counterparts.
 * Some rolling stock's coupling hooks are black and do not rotate.
 * Kevin is shown to have a front coupling and rail wheels, inaccurately depicting him as a railway vehicle much like his 2014-2016 Take-n-Play predecessor.
 * The prototype Light-Up Racer engines only have a front light, which look similar to their Take-n-Play predecessors, while the produced models just have a front coupling hook.
 * The Shark Escape Track Pack and Space Mission Track Pack are re-themed variants of the Bridges and Bends Track Pack and the Curves and Straights Track Pack respectively.
 * Oliver (Excavator) is incorrectly labeled as a crane.
 * Theo is missing his name plate and he also has no front coupling hook. This is because his face is too low down to accommodate one.
 * His Promo also depicts him without his gear-spokes on his biggest gear.
 * Merlin's running board is re-used from Henry's.
 * Frankie's eyes lack eyelashes.
 * On the 'Dino Discovery' set box artwork, Luke has Thomas' face.
 * Jack and Theo's coupling hooks are abnormally high.
 * Shane's prototype is missing his front coupling hook.
 * The 'Charlie's Day at the Quarry' play set lists Thomas on the blurb rather than Charlie.
