New Ivor the Engine train packs to arrive in 2025

Working alongside Daniel Postgate under an exclusive worldwide license, Rapido Trains UK will produce two packs in OO gauge.

The first pack is the Ivor the Engine Train Pack, which will include Ivor the Engine with working headlamps and a glowing dragon egg in the firebox, two open wagons, 2D cardboard figures for Jones the Steam, Dai Station, Idris the Dragon and three sheep all produced from the original animation artwork, fold-up cardboard engine shed and water tower and a brand-new Ivor the Engine story written and illustrated by Daniel Postgate.

A DCC Sound version of this pack will also be available and include a full range of sounds and dialogue from the original colour animations.

The second pack – the Ivor the Engine Rolling Stock Pack – includes a passenger coach, coal hopper, 1-plank wagon with crate load, 2D cardboard figures and bases for Evans the Song, the Choir, Mrs Porty and Bluebell the Donkey produced from the original animation artwork and a fold-up station building and platform.

This range of models is in tooling and engineering samples are expected early in 2025.
