How Many Motorized Road Vehicles Are There?

Super

Since we haven't been able to locate a site that shows all the Motorized Cars and Trucks that Tomica, Plarail and Tomy made throughout the years. I thought a Member created research List showing what we all have or one that we came across. Names and dates would be helpful too. These come in various branding like, Tomica World, Motor Tomica, Tomy/Tomica, Tomy, B/O Tomica. This may end up a great tool for those interested in the variations which I think are interesting.

Please do not Post Listings from the Online Auction or Sale sites or just a picture of your entire collection, Lets just keep it to individual Pictures and Discussions only so we can compile a true list. What we are looking for is all the different ones so if you have picture of one not listed here in a Post we would be interested in that. Maybe we can assemble a complete list of all that was ever made eventually.

Also, if anyone has a vehicle that is in better condition than any one pictured in the list, please Post an individual picture so I can replace the picture in the list with one that is in better condition.

Super

I know there are tons more so please help and post something different. Eventually I will compile and show all individual pictures here in this Post as everyone adds to the list. This is going to be interesting.

@Sunhuntin
Do you think you have any that aren't listed above? Enjoy your time in Australia.

@T-Boy
Is your Nissan Fairlady Z the same as the one pictured in the list above? If so is it in better condition than that one? Could you Post individual pictures of those 3 you have so I can add them to the list?

Trainboy90 Productions

Trainboy90 Productions

Here's more to add to the list:

Toyota Crown 1992 - Motor Tomica

Subaru Legacy Green 1992 - Motor Tomica
Toyota Estima Blue 1992 - B/O Tomica

Off The Rails

Wow, this is very helpful! I wish I could add to this list but I haven’t had much luck finding these vehicles, aside from some Thomas characters like Bertie.

Does anyone here know a history/ time line of these? They mostly seem to have been produced in the early 1990s but any idea when production ended and why Tomy stopped making them?

chrisjo

Can we have their numbers in their captions as well please, TW- or A- ?

Super

@Sunhuntin
Of those vehicles that you pictured the only ones that aren't already on the above List are the:

Dust Cart: which I have the bottom info on as I have one coming
Silver Honda CRV: we could use the info on the bottom

@[deleted] The Rails
I am not so sure that maybe there are some of a more recent years. I sometimes think the the years seen on the bottom of these are not necessarily the year of manufacturing but the years the Trademark/Copywrite is granted. Which might explain the distance between the years of the early 90's to the early 2000's. I found it interesting that the 2 Silver Container carrying trucks that have 1995 on one and 2004 on the other and they are exactly the same. This could be deduced that 1995 was the last year the Trademark/Copywrite then renewed in 2005. At least this is my uneducated guess.

@Trainboy90
Thank you

@Chrisjo
Sure, I will work on it

I guess it is very hard to find "N" batteries. I only found "N" batteries in one shop (a watch repair shop).

Super

They are plentiful here in the States and easily found at all the Big Pharmacy's, Office Supplys, Hardware and Home Improvement Centers. Duracel has them if you have a store the has one of those large displays. Since you are in Canada try searching for the batteries under the LR1 which is the same as N.

I also think that the E90 is the same as N size as seen here at Canadian Tire https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/energizer-alkaline-1-5v-battery-2-pk-0650849p.html#srp

According to the Energizer web site there are several numbers associated with an N battery https://www.energizer.com/specialty-batteries/e90-n-battery?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=BCM_ENR-US-SB-Br&utm_term=%2Benergizer%20%2Be90%20%2Bn%20%2Bbatteries&utm_content=MAYhT9v2-dc_pcrid_81913653304501_pkw_%2Benergizer%20%2Be90%20%2Bn%20%2Bbatteries_pmt_bb_slid__productid__ptaid_kwd-81913691457542:loc-190_pgrid_1310618013408174_&msclkid=210f6fcc10c117ce8113338a4d2d7dfc

I ordered some cheapos on ali express

the frame still works and runs, amazingly. but the body is a million pieces. ill grab some pics. But here are my questions:

does anyone know if there are other Tomica bodies that would fit on the frame?
and then, how the heck can you tell they are motorized when looking online??

Hi All,
this is really cool. We have some of these (all are listed). we had the blue minivan but one of my kids was playing with it in the garage and it got run over when my wife got home in her... wait for it... minivan!

That is a funny story.

Its easy to see the difference, its in the wheel rims and tires, especially the rear. Shame on the sellers that don't say they are motorized or have a picture of the bottom.

leylandvictory2

The motorized ones are bigger than the metal diecast. The body should be made out of plastic instead of metal

Super

Actually the motorized ones can be either Diecast Metal or Plastic with most of them in my collection being metal.

Yest, the motorized ones are a little bit bigger than say the regular Tomica vehicles but not by much. In the picture you see 2 Ambulances with the motorized one being slightly bigger. BTW, both of those Ambulances are Diecast Metal.

Trainboy90 Productions

my motorized ones are diecast metal
