Interactive Learning Railway

Interactive Learning Railway was a short-lived Thomas & Friends toy range that was released in the US by Learning Curve in 2004. The engines were made of metal, and the rolling stock was made of plastic and featured educational destinations which could sound phrases to the engines. The line was a Target store exclusive.

Trivia

 * The wheels, track and chassis seem to be based off Wooden Railway.
 * The top half, couplings, and buffers seem to be based off Take Along and the early Take-n-Play, making the two brands compatible.
 * There was a "Deluxe Roundhouse" (Tidmouth Sheds), but there was no regular roundhouse.
 * Gordon's Prototype is incorrectly depicted with black wheels. The final model has the correct blue wheels.
 * Some destination sets mention Spencer, Salty, Edward and Emily if pressed down on the magnet buttons, despite the fact they were never released.
 * The tender from Gordon's Interactive Learning Railway model managed to make an appearance in promotional material on the 2005 Take Along character checklist, being showcased in the storage compartment of the Center Island Quarry Set.
