2013 is the twenty-first year of the Thomas Wooden Railway. This is the first year the line was produced by Fisher-Price under Mattel. Products gained rounded edges for safety purposes and plastic was included increasingly into destinations and vehicles in order to cut down on production costs. This year also saw the introduction of products from the DVD Go, Go Thomas! and the film King of the Railway.
Avaliable Products
Since the line is under a new company, everything released is technically new for Mattel. Items that are new or reintroduced to the Wooden Railway line overall are noted.
Vehicles
Vehicles were updated to feature curved edges and longer magnets guards. This is the first year since 2003 where dates on vehicles wheels were updated, although now all vehicles would be dated as "2012". Later in the year, painted wheels were removed from vehicles that originally had them.
