RC2 Corp. in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall for several toys in the Thomas the Tank Engine set that may include lead paint.
The affected 1.5 million toys recalled include:
Red James Engine & Red James� # 5 Coal Tender
Red Lights & Sounds James Engine & Red James� #5 Lights & Sounds Coal Tender
James with Team Colors Engine & James with Team Colors #5 Coal Tender
Red Skarloey Engine

The toys were sold during 2005. RC2 recall web page, http://rc2corp.com/company/recalls.asp, isn't working at the moment, probably crushed under the traffic load. They can also be reached at (866) 725-4407.
The press release says that packages coded "WJ" or "AZ" are not included in the recall, but who saves the packages over 2 years? Are there Thomas geeks like the Comic Book Guy who preserve Percy, Mavis, Toby, et al. pristinely in their original packaging?
Here is a picture of the leaden toys:
