They were extremely durable. They looked like the real engine. The stuff we have on our shelves today is reproduced, and doesn't last as long.
The engine shown here is what the ERTL engines looked like. They look exactly like the engine in the series. Along with all the old ones, produce these:

I am spending my nights reading through your stories about the trains you still have from childhood. It is exhausting to keep pushing for something so simple, yet seeing how much these metal engines meant to all of you keeps me going.

Reaching this level of support confirms that I am not the only one exhausted by the lack of quality in today's toys. It is a heavy road to get a company to listen to us but your enthusiasm keeps me going.

Yes, they need to start making them again. I wonder if RC2 still has some sort of contract with the engines. Why were they discontinued in the first place? The next engines they likely would have made, had the ERTL line continued, were Rosie, Molly, Neville, Dennis, Mike, Proteus, Stuart, Whiff, and Billy.
I always wanted one ERTL in particular, an ERTL Rex, sadly they never made one. Dang.
Yeah! I keep trying to find them along with the sets! Please bring out good looking ertl Thomas range back, TOMY, who aquired rc2 who also aquired ertl! Mattel''s adventures models are compatible with most of the ertl models. I'll try to find the paper faced models and the special models too! BTW, Sam will be into 3 separate pieces.
Adventures is not enough.
I love ERTL’s Thomas Toys. I want them to make more again

I grew up with these engines and would be great to have my kids grow up with the same joy I had
