Fred's Railways (second toy line)

Fred's Railways is a battery-operated toy train system produced by Mattel and in the US and Canada since 2022. The range was initially commissioned as part of a series of toys for Tomy, Spin Master, and Mattel in 2019 by Friedrich Entertainment. These were to serve as tie in merchandise for a work in progress film that was about a railfan discovering an enchanted steam locomotive after weeks of losing his interest in trains. Late into the film's development, the merchandising plan was dropped, however Friedrich Entertainment worked closely with Mattel under its toy division to continue development of the toy line.

The range is mostly based on and is functionally identical to both the Thomas and Friends Motorized and TrackMaster (Revolution) ranges. The range was titled Super Motorized in development and on order lists to identify the difference between toys sold under the Thomas and Friends Motorized line and those under the Fred's Railways line.
