Take-Along Thomas and Friends is a series of die-cast models and portable play sets designed for preschool children. The range, made by Learning Curve after ERTL discontinued its Thomas the Tank Engine range, is not compatible with the Thomas Wooden Railway system although in 2006 a combination of Take-Along and Wooden Railway was made. They have special "two-way" magnets instead of plastic couplers used with ERTL models. In 2010, the range was added to Mattel's Fisher Price range and was renamed Take-n-Play.
