Train Sim World
Mattel’s Thomas & Friends™ is coming to Train Sim World!
We’ve made it! A chock-full calendar of festive treats. We’ve shown you updates, Add-ons, work-in-progress teases, and released new content for Train Sim World... but, seeing as it’s the season of giving, we have one final surprise for you...
We are delighted to announce that Mattel’s Thomas & Friends™ is coming to Train Sim World!
In collaboration with our friends at Mattel, Thomas & Friends™ Visit the West Somerset Railway will be an Add-on coming to Train Sim World next year. Naturally, the star of the show is Thomas the Tank Engine, with his friends Annie and Clarabel joining him. Adding an element of mischief is Diesel and the Troublesome Trucks. What will they get up to?
Unlike previous Add-ons, the gameplay here is entirely story-driven, with a fun narrative that follows the adventures of Thomas and his friends during their visit to the West Somerset Railway.
To hear more about this exciting release, you can view our fireside chat, hosted by Jamie, our resident Thomas fan in the Community! Matt Peddlesden explains more about bringing Thomas to Train Sim World and both chat with special guest Ian McCue about his involvement with Thomas & Friends over the years.
We’ll also talk further about this very exciting release in the new year.
In summary:
- Mattel’s Thomas & Friends is coming to Train Sim World!
