haha this is very good indeed! Beat me to the punch too as I was working on a video with the same premise a year ago. Nontheless you absolutely *knocked* it out of the park. really informative!
@@NotU2 Thanks very much, I had actually recorded/wrote a script/made a thumbnail even, who knows, maybe I'll finish it someday. As for the Edward one I will make that at some point haha
Also bill and Ben uses the same battery chassis as Donald /Douglas not the running board but the chassis and that’s why their running on bill/Ben is a bit longer(also explaining the 0-6-0 wheels)

since trackmaster was released sparingly here in my country in asia, the knock off models are great for finding the missing narrow gauge models, like duke and Petersam
Why do I like when it plays diesels theme at the start showing how devious they got away with the knockoffs rhenesa my favorite ttte character 5:45 I don't know but ill just call it a wheel cover Who gives a f about bash and dash... Well I do Stephen was actually the second gen 1 trackmaster engine I had and he was really cool with his piston being different out of the others
Some minor misinformation, but very informative enough. I’m pretty sure there were no replaced designs, just some knock-offs have more than one variant, some minor differences were not mentioned (Like basically all of them sometimes have unpainted buffers). Some missing; Like for the 08’s, most, if not all of them are not directly a copy of their official counterparts, the siderod on their left side has two of the crank pins molded on the other side by mistake. Or how Peter Sam has a fully painted (Based on the Fisher-Price design) version which is less common than the less detailed version. All the same, very well done.
Those knockoffs can be ranged in different ways in my opinion, others are great, others are good, and others are questionable but if I want it to make customs out of some various characters like Sidney or The mainland diesel centers, then the knockoff versions of Arry and Bert or any other diesel character will be a good choice to use
I think the Trackmaster knockoff Gordon uses the rc 3 speed Gordon mold, and his tender is actually James's, which Edward also uses. Edwards original tender had a little bit of a foot plate on the front.
For the Trackmaster knockoffs in my opinions felt bad for me because, 👇 If you get one of these diesel engines: - Diesel - Paxton - Arry & Bert - Splatter & Dodge I really hate the incorrect configuration design of the SIDE RODS if you look closely because its like separated or broken, not like the real Trackmaster version. But sometimes a few knockoff diesel engine models if you’re lucky to find or have one have the correct SIDE RODS arrangement just like how I found UnluckyTugs TOMY collection of Arry & Bert.
I've only thought of getting these knock offs to get the gears broken on the motor of the older ones I've found that are official so I can fix them since Google couldn't help me and Trackmaster custom never tells me where he gets his gear and Amazon screwed me over the first time I tried to find the gear that goes between the drive wheels. That and maybe custom characters
I hate bootleg thomas merch, especially these, although a few can be good as customs, mainly for the 08 gang and gordon, like for one of the bootleg diesels they can just be a shunter from the other railway and the bootleg gordon can be useful for a flying scotsman custom.
I got rip off Bert and the motor died in packaging so I can still play with it we cut the thing that makes the wheels click we broke that off so it works
This may be a bit of a weird comparison, but the knockoff Stanley kinda looks like what would happen if you merged Trackmaster with the My First Thomas engines made by GoldenBear. Just with how they made the engines very simplified and have basic shapes. Of course those toys were cute, whereas the knockoff. Is gross.
ty all :D, tho the site you used in the vid didn't look like aliexpress, iv used it before and it has like a pink color scheme as opposed to the black one the site you were using had
To be honest, I like the knock off Donald and Douglas leave literally the exact same from the original ones also, they’re much cheaper so I could care less. Everything else they make is absolute garbage

YOU’RE STILL ALIVE!
Knockoffs to me = custom galore
Same thing for me
Me also
Me as well
You can even make scrapped models out of them for set dressing
Oh yeah especially for take along knockoffs as they use screws
14:35 Seeing the knockoff Bill and Ben, like the 6 wheels, I think it would be cool if they changed into Wilbert, and Sixteen.
Bill, along with his twin brother, Ben, has only 4 drive wheels!
Also bill and Ben uses the same battery chassis as Donald /Douglas not the running board but the chassis and that’s why their running on bill/Ben is a bit longer(also explaining the 0-6-0 wheels)

Wow , the knock-offs got moving side rods when the real ones didn't 🙁
freddie became fnaf😭😭
U said my name?
There's 1 good thing about knockoffs, you can make Custom oc's with them
I hate ocs.
Why do I like when it plays diesels theme at the start showing how devious they got away with the knockoffs rhenesa my favorite ttte character
5:45 I don't know but ill just call it a wheel cover
Who gives a f about bash and dash... Well I do
Stephen was actually the second gen 1 trackmaster engine I had and he was really cool with his piston being different out of the others
i just now noticed the hole in knock off Stanley's running board ;-;
Luke has only 4 drive wheels!
14:55 What about making a custom Wilbert out of them?
Oh I didn't think about that they are perfect for a custom like that. Maybe one day I would do something like that.
Its so wild to me how awful some of these can be yet some look identical or even better

22:31 traintsarfun has a rsoie. He made a video about it. He also has freddle too.
I kinda want to find the 4-4-0 knock off Edward tbh
Me too...
It’s discontinued and might as well search for a 2012 Edward since it’s the same one and that one has been replaced with a 0-6-0 Edward
@@TheTSMBoi i don't want it anymore, my country imposed taxes for AliExpress and eBay, so it's more expensive
15:34 actually now thomas comes with normal sized pupils
But, why is Stanley’s boiler too short that’s my question?!?
The things on the side of wiffs wheels they’re called frames😊
That knockoff whiff seen some things 😂
I would note that the knockoffs eventually will just give out and then the couplings just break
20:53 shorter in HEIGHT

Pretty good video and well made!
Very nice work!
i still see emily in some online shops here in the phillipenes
It seems like they started making her again well as far as I know
For the Arry and Bert, you can just swap the chassis. Lol
I’m doing that soon 😏
I have a knockoff Dodge and it's really good
Rheneas has only 4 drive wheels!

Quick notice about Percy: They recently stopped painting the 6 on the bunker.
Omg you're right I need to get one soon
@@NotU2 where do you get these?
@@dustra5000 Amazon it a little for expensive but it's more safer I'll put the link if I can
@@dustra5000 a.co/d/dNKMMDy
@@NotU2 thank you
You should do a video on recommendation of which model of a character to go with.
I've only thought of getting these knock offs to get the gears broken on the motor of the older ones I've found that are official so I can fix them since Google couldn't help me and Trackmaster custom never tells me where he gets his gear and Amazon screwed me over the first time I tried to find the gear that goes between the drive wheels. That and maybe custom characters
Wait. Knockoff trackmasters? Never heard of that before.
How do you make your own OC character with the knockoff😅😅😅
Do you happen to have a link to the fake Trackmaster wiki you mentioned a few times in the vid? It sounds interesting.
chinafake.fandom.com/wiki/Knockoff_Trackmaster here
I hate bootleg thomas merch, especially these, although a few can be good as customs, mainly for the 08 gang and gordon, like for one of the bootleg diesels they can just be a shunter from the other railway and the bootleg gordon can be useful for a flying scotsman custom.
I really want another Gordon to turn it a old shape Henry one day
Be a neat idea, saves on having to sacrifice the legit product just to make that procedure.@@NotU2
hey some of them can be turned into a custom
0:49 rhenesa 🤣🤣🤣
I love all of them no matter what
I bought all of them
I got rip off Bert and the motor died in packaging so I can still play with it we cut the thing that makes the wheels click we broke that off so it works
There's an AEG Edward being made tho
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Accidentally got me a knock off diesel and Duke. Destroy diesel kept Duke. Also got Knock off sir Handel. I still got it.
I have og splatter and dodge listed on ebay for a good price if you care. Because you said that you want a Splatter :)

Why is the knock off Thomas super high
6:02 8:48
HEY😡
WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!!
Did you get your Knockoff Gordon off of AliExpress?
@@mikeavila1054 no I got mine from Amazon but I have gotten other things from AliExpress just not the Knockoff Trackmaster stuff yet.
@NotU2 Whiff reusing Diesel’s box
Just switch arry and bert's shell with the right chassy
Plarail diesel 10 looks goofy with the big eyes and pupils
I’m going to say it: Knockoffs > Trackmaster 2 and Trackmaster AEG.
I already ordered Knockoff Edward
It's on his way
Which one, the long siderod one?
@@ethandouro4334 yep
sometimes, you have to use them because you're parents were low on money
I got the fake ben and swaped the face with the plarail ben
I would just rather buy the official ones off of eBay
Do these knockoff models run good?
The Donald and Douglas are pretty good going off trainboys video
I got a trackmaster fake James and he has bigger pupils like the Thomas
where to get?
places like aliexpress, look for the ones with higher reviews to be safe.
Amazon, Aliexpress, and Ebay. I don't recommend Ebay because items there can be expensive for no reason.
@@carlossantiago1384 yea eBay sellers try to pass them as real official products and make them 3x the cost
ty all :D, tho the site you used in the vid didn't look like aliexpress, iv used it before and it has like a pink color scheme as opposed to the black one the site you were using had
@@NotU2 I bought a bootleg percy on eBay, THEY HAD THE BALLS TO CHARGE ME 300 DOLLARS FOR SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Thomas and friends

6:58
Those knock offs don’t make no ha cha sense to anyone
Mickey Mouse clubhouse reference
I make customs out of the knock offs
14:21
Cool
Cool

From all the videos I’ve seen of knockoff Hank, his motor Is terrible. He barely runs.
