At Railway Rarities, we're passionate about bringing the magic of Thomas & Friends right to your doorstep. Whether you're a dedicated collector or shopping for a future engineer, we've got something special for everyone.
We're your one-stop shop for all things Tomy, TrackMaster, and Thomas & Friends - offering both new-in-box and pre-owned trains. As a small business, I pride myself on fast service, detailed listings, and quality products.
Condition:
Items may be new in box, new out of box, used with box, or used without box. Please carefully inspect the listing photos and condition description before purchasing.
Motorized Trains:
All Tomy and TrackMaster motorized trains are tested prior to listing. Unless stated otherwise in the title, all trains are working at the time of sale.
Note: Many motorized trains are 15-25 years old. If the train doesn't operate immediately upon arrival, please ensure you're using the correct battery with a full charge. If still unresponsive, hold the train upright and firmly tap the bottom onto a hard surface from about 4-5 inches high. Repeat a few times - this often jumpstarts older motors, especially in vintage Tomy models.
Enjoy a 3-5% discount automatically when you add 4 or more items to your cart before checkout.
Buying items you received offers on?
In most cases, eBay does not allow items purchased through accepted offers to qualify for combined shipping.
If you're buying multiple items you've received offers on, please accept each offer individually, then message me when you're done. I will manually refund the shipping difference once your items ship.
I ship using UPS, FedEx, or USPS depending on your location.
- Tracking info is provided once shipped
- Orders ship within 1 business day
- Estimated U.S. delivery: 2-4 business days
International Shipping:
I ship worldwide and offer combined shipping for all international orders. No need to message unless you believe the shipping calculator is inaccurate.
Important: For countries such as Mexico and parts of Central/South America, there is a higher risk of package loss or theft. Please contact me prior to purchasing to add insurance and signature confirmation for extra protection.
I generally do not accept returns or refunds. Each listing includes clear, detailed photos and descriptions to help you make an informed purchase.
As a small business, it's difficult to accept returns once items have been opened or are no longer in resalable condition. Thank you for understanding.
Cancellations must be made before the item ships and must include a valid reason.
Once tracking is uploaded, the order cannot be canceled.
Please make sure children don't have access to your payment information - accidental orders affect not only inventory, but also listing visibility and performance.
