“With some huffing and puffing we’ve built the largest Thomas & Friends™ diorama with the Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™ sets, making our mark in the Malaysia Book of Records. With this achievement, we look to continue stirring children’s imaginations on the bigger world around them through the wonder and awe of trains. We hope that all little engineers nationwide will learn the importance of friendship and teamwork with Thomas on their adventure through the wonders of childhood,” said Ho Shu Ting, Marketing Manager for Infant & Pre-School at Mattel Southeast Asia Pte. Ltd. (Mattel).

The record-breaking diorama was made possible with the launch of the new Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™. The brand-new range features battery-operated track systems with adaptable, connected tracks, allowing trackbuilders to mix-and-match multiple box sets into one large, connected world. Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™ looks to encourage creativity and inspire fans to create their very own world of Thomas, with new engines, new tracks, and new innovations planned as additions to the existing line-up yearly.

Recently celebrating his 74th birthday, Thomas has been entertaining children worldwide from the island of Sodor. With Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™, the new steam team (Thomas, Percy, James, Gordon, Nia, Rebecca, and Emily) will continue the momentum set by Thomas’ Global Adventures, ensuring inclusivity and speaking to a broader audience globally.

In conjunction with his recent birthday, Thomas is inviting fans to discover the largest Thomas & Friends™ diorama and see the Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™ in action at 1 Utama Shopping Centre.
