I'm not sure which die-cast series you're looking for. Ertl produced a series of die-cast engines and cars from about 1988 to the present under license from Britt Alcroft, the television producer who owns most of the Railway Series merchandising rights (she also produced most of the children's videos including Shining Time station). These models were proportional to each other and came originally with stickered faces and later with molded plastic ones. I understand from a quick Google search that this line is to be relaunched in January under new specifications. Here is a site that continues to sell the old line: http://www.goldstarstockists.com/playtime/thomas.htm The other series of die-cast locomotives are from a line called "Take Along Thomas". These engines and cars tend to all be of uniform length (and all fit into a carrying case). A Google search on "Take Along Thomas" should direct you to several distributors. Neal
