This article is about the original name for the international range. You may be looking for the Japanese Die-Cast range. |
Motor Road and Rail (previously known as Tomica World and currently Plarail Thomas (Japanese: プラレールトーマス) in Japan) is a battery-operated toy train system manufactured by TOMY. The engines run on plastic blue track and the roadway vehicles run on a grey road. Motor Road and Rail is not fully compatible with other Thomas toy brands, although the vehicles in the range are the same gauge as and fit well on Wooden Railway track and vice-versa.
Outside Asia, HiT Toy Company bought the licence for the range in 2007 and replaced it with the TrackMaster range.

Trivia
- Takara Tomy released Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Percy again in Plarail, but with more detail such as a white running plate and black lamp irons. They also removed some detail, as Henry and Gordon's connecting rods are now standard and Edward now uses the standard 0-6-0 chassis instead of the 4-4-0 one.
- Elsbridge Station was made twice as "Thomas Crossing Station".
- The Talk 'n' Action Toby, Henry and Gordon were originally planned to be released to English-speaking territories, but due to the Talk 'n' Action range being discontinued, they were cancelled.
- In 2014, James received a separately coupled tender, and a new chassis (Shared with Connor and Caitlin, whom were also released that year). And in 2015, Gordon received the same modifications.

- In 2018, Thomas and Percy also received updates, while not a new chassis, they did get new CG faces and sticker detail.
- Edward's redesign inaccurately portrays him as a 2-6-0, much like his TrackMaster (2014-onwards) counterpart.

- Skiff's models are oversized.
- Beppe's roof is unpainted, his wheels are grey, and he is larger than his on-screen size.
- Much like all current Thomas toy lines, the models aim to reproduce a design aesthetic based on the CGI series despite running alongside the reboot, especially since the late 2010s. Despite this, models based on the reboot designs were released in 2023, though unlike the Motorized and TrackMaster Push Along ranges, the reboot designs are released in a separate range rather than replacing the main range.

- GOGO! Diesel is the first release of Diesel, in the range, since his discontinuation in 2012.
