My son has several die cast Thomas figures and they don't fit his wood rail set. The wheelbase is too narrow so the won't go into the slots. They did make some wooden Thomas characters and they fit. I found his at our local Barnes and Noble. I haven't bought them in the last 2 to 3 years but I know they are out there because I have a box full. Hope this was some help.
The wooden or concrete railway sleeper (or railroad tie) is used as the base for the railway track to keep the tracks intact in its place In other words, wooden sleepers hold the rails to the correct gauge.

Undoubtedly yes. The overall wealth of India is many times that of NZ. Just think of the value of their cotton production, their car and truck manufacture [starting from raw materials, not just as supplied parts as was the case in NZ], their manufacture of Railway engines, and track. And so on.

Spare wooden track can be purchased from toy shops that sell the wooden Thomas sets like The Entertainer and Argos. However cheaper wooden track is available from Tesco and IKEA that will fit most of the wooden Thomas trains, and link up with existing track.

The wooden plank laid down on a railway track is called a "railroad tie" or "sleepers." These supports hold the rails in place and help distribute the weight of the trains. Traditionally made of wood, they can also be constructed from concrete or steel in modern railway systems.

A completed railway track is called... wait for it... a "Railway track"! The word "Network" could also be applied here when referring to an entire infrastructure of railways. Railway LINE and RailROAD are also common terms. When talking about modelrailways, a completed system of track could be called a "Layout", "Track-plan" or "System".
The biggest railway platform in Pakistan is ROOHRI, located in Sindh! Hope this helped a little
