Brio

Brio is a wooden toy company that once made Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends toys compatible with Learning Curve's Wooden Railway range in the 1990s. The range was discontinued in 2000.

Trivia

 * Some BRIO Thomas items were more accurate compared to their Learning Curve counterparts.
 * There were two versions of Duck available; one with green wheels and one with black.
 * Sir Handel's model was given an 0-4-0 wheel arrangement rather than his 0-4-2 wheel arrangement like his real-life prototype.
 * BRIO is the only merchandise line not to give Lady her headlamps.
 * The BRIO battery-powered Thomas model has a front magnet, unlike his Learning Curve counterpart.
 * Gordon was incorrectly depicted as a 4-6-0 instead of a 4-6-2.
 * Rheneas was the only one of the original seven Narrow Gauge Engines, and the only member of the original Skarloey Railway fleet not to be manufactured.
 * On Diesel 10's model, a magnetized version of Pinchy is connected to his arm by a string. The arm is similar to that of a crane's arm, as it can move up, down, sideways and extend.
 * Splatter and Dodge have light grey wheels instead of black.
 * The windmill looks a lot like Toby's windmill, despite the fact it was released years before the episode premiered.
 * Toby's face appears to have been modelled after Mavis', despite the fact that Mavis never had her own BRIO model.
 * The BRIO models of Henry, Gordon and Duke have a hook that connects them to their tenders, but Edward and James use magnets.
 * The tender engines (excluding Duke) were the only models to not gain a front coupling.
