DS has been asking for this train, but I don't think it exists. I feel so badly though, b/c today he is saying it's the one toy he wants the most from Santa. :cry:

It's in the first couple of seconds of this video- the plain old green train with no face:

Is this something that is sold? Does it have a name?

Just to confirm - do you mean the long, green coach looking one in between Donald and Douglas at the beginning?

This one?

I can't see the colors very well. Is it the one after the number 9 train?

I'm pretty sure I've seen a green coach before. It's been years since I've bought Thomas though. I'll do some web searching for you.

Yes! That's it.

Thank you! I've had no luck. I looked for it a few weeks back, but finally gave up, not realizing it was that big of a deal to him.

Sorry, but the closest thing I could find was a freight train named Rickety. There is also the green Winter Caboose. Maybe he would be satisfied if Santa put that one in his stocking? There is also the Old Slow Coach. He's brown, but in the movie that coach almost looks brown anyway.

Hmm. That's a hard one.

I've found the following things that aren't it, but are close:
Emily's Brake Coach - http://www.ehobbies.com/bac76043.html
Green Coal Wagon - http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRGV0&P=7

Looks like a coach car. Hmm?

Daisy is green, but not really the same green.

Thanks for trying guys. I think this one
http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Friends-TrackMaster-Harvey-Bonus/dp/B0010XGLMC/ref=sr_1_305?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1261595634&sr=1-305
is probably it, but it still doesn't really id it, and that particular set is Trackmaster- we have wood stuff.

I'm going to run over to TRU tonight and see if I have any luck, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Thanks again!

If you go to TRU check the Thomas DVD's, they often have trains packed in them that are random, lesser known trains. If you have a Borders nearby check their kids DVD section too. I've recently purchased DVD's with trains for less than $5 using a 30% Borders rewards coupon. Good Luck!
