Is this Thomas for Real?

Is this Thomas for real or a custom?

thats the 75th anniversary Trackmaster that was released with Gustavo and Raul

For some reason when I saw this I had thought that it had custom features to it. Too bad only the smoke box is plated but I guess that is better than the bait and switch Plarail did with the JR Kyushu Sweet Train.

I’ve never seen these here in the Hinterlands. Have any members here found these at any of the big chain retailers?

Amazon may have it.

Has it even released in the US yet? A UK seller lists it on Amazon as to being released until Jan 1st. That seems like a weird release date since they would miss the whole Xmas buying frenzy.

It’s weird that the Thomas’ are pre-orders for December 1st, but Gustavo is “unavailable”, and Raul & Emerson don’t come up in a search at all!?!?

Duncans are selling all 3 in the UK . Maybe they are waiting for the xmas rush to subside as any us bound parcels are not likely to arrive by xmas

Duncans in the UK is the Seller on Amazon I found that lists them as Pre-Orders releasing Jan 1st.
Does that Drum Car actually make drum noises? Isn't $30 a high price for a Revolution train?

hence why i said Duncans in the Uk in my response . I would be surprised if they didnt appear as US releases in January . It is a bit of a tradition in the Uk that they release 3 trackmaster releases early every year around this time . The strrange thing is they release them into the wholesale / distribution channel and not into the majors .
