Thanks you are very kind! I have been thinking since I filmed perhaps this is when Thomas was first given his coaches to run on his branchline that was a great moment but the CGI face doesn't fit with that theory. Hmmmmm
I got that TrackMaster Thomas with annie and Clarabel on amazon in 2015 when I was 15 years old. Now I am 18 years old. I am starting my first year of college on September 10th, 2018.
Thanks theHIROD51 yes its about time Annie and Clarabel came back, Tomy Spencer is on loan from my dads collection for full rebuild and maintenance, it has a noisy drive unit and i am very close to sorting it out, seems the gear on the long shaft can be moved about 2mm closer to the case to remove the rattling sound but move it too far and the engine will run very slowly if at all.
its hard to have a favorite with so many great locos probably the successfully modified ones i've done that are 3V with light Paxton and Henry also TOMY red F unit diesels. rollingstock i love the express coaches behind a fast steam engine and the rake of grey trucks behind anything else :)
yep I already did it but made the gear too tight and it would hardly move, slacked it off slightly and its a bit less noisy but runs fine now, also cleaned out the whole thing of fluff and hair, gunk etc.
I really love the 2012 Trackmaster Annie and Clarabel.👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 They would go Fantastic with the Tomy Plarail Thomas and the Trackmaster 2010-2013 Thomas.💙💙💙💙💙💙
I have a trackmaster Thomas and Annie and Clarabel and they are fun to run I wonder why your Thomas got shakily mine looks like it was smooth anyway good luck with your Thomas and Annie and Clarabel
yes you are the first to mention that, I left it in on purpose this time hehe. normally i would keep redoing takes of the turntable until it was perfect.
Yes I would love to know as well, a single locomotive here (small one) is $20, larger engines $26, Talking engines $30, Greatest moments $35, RC (non 3 speed) is $40.
Hi thejdogman love your site, my favorite version of Thomas is the annoyed/angry face Thomas, I like the one I built in that fix video and that's the same one I later added a light to, it just keeps on going haha. I have ordered a hornby jinty sticker pack and a hornby smokebox door, one of my lucky Thomas' is going to be converted in a BR Jinty.
I think I remember that, and also very early in one of the seasons when Toby filled in for Thomas they spoke as well but more like how trucks speak like "you're going too fast you're going too fast!" like they repeat what they say 2-3 times lol
for 9V I use energizer lithium, duracell or energizer max I don't use duracell or energizer max for AA since i had trouble with them before and thay are not as long lasting. energizer advance and lithium are better for me. my layout is identical yours and uses tomy tracks (bar the yard). Everytime you make a change to your layout I do the same changes. I do not keep my engines in boxes all at tidmuth sheds, some are in the yard. at night when not in use some are at the stations.
Your battery manual has given proof that Donald will also be released in TrackMaster (please notice the M by the way, lots of people seem to miss this) by Fisher-Price! I am not a fan of Annie's face because it doesn't look right being based off the CGI face, but it does gives the pack nostalgia. I believe it's Greatest Moments since it's a screen accurate pack? Which do you think is your favourite version of Thomas?
Just out of interest, are you aware of the other TrackMaster CGI Thomas, which uses the original Thomas type drive unit? They're only available as part of sets such as the BMM and KOTR tie in sets. I must say the Thomas I'm on about is much better proportioned than the flat drive unit one as the face on the FD one is a lot rounder and fatter. The motor on the thomas type drive unit engine runs smoothly also :D
I've got this pack in 2023 and owned it since 2012-2013 and despite its age,the thomas still works brilliantly along with the annie and clarabel,although a bit of Thomas's eyebrow paint has come off,but its in perfect condition
Very good review, Like this new style Thomas, and Annie and Clarabel look very nice with their CGI faces after being discontinued for quite a long time (not talking about Plarail). Just one thing, i noticed there a TOMY Spencer but I tought you had a TrackMaster silver Spencer. Or do you have both?
XxmadmuttmanxX Sorry my friend but I get so many requests a day for this or that its very hard to keep up with everyones wishes, I will add your name to the comments so it will be there forever.
i try lots of different batteries and as you can imagine i go through ALLOT as I use fresh batteries for every video. I honestly buy whatever is on sale because they are very expensive here so I stock up sometimes I can get a good brand for 70 cents a battery and i stock up with a few packs
Can you tell me which rolling stock packet had Annie Clarabell and Henrietta? I recall seeing them but I never got the chance to buy them.. If you don't know then it's ok
You did not compare trackmaster 2012 thomas to the plarail thomas (the one in the station set), steam along thomas and the original 2002 tomy talking thomas.
I have both Thomas with Annie and Clarabel. This time I have the tomy one. However, both of them (Whom is tomy) broke. But at least I have new trackmaster ones! One from 2012, and one from 2009/2010
Yes I have to say the next Thomas I bought the same as the one in this video but with no coaches ran allot better and smoother and I made that one into my 3F Jinty tank engine.
the batteries i use for 1.5 volts are: 1. LD Ultracells (like the one you use), AA, AAA and C 2. Energizer Advance, only AA, sometimes AAA 3. Energizer Lithium, AAA and AA 4. NIMH Rechargable (only for TM Silver Spencer with Doyushu Dragon 3 volt motor so far), AA 5. FUJITSU ALKALINE BATTERIES LR14, C size 6. Rayovac Size LR14 Rechargeable Alkaline Batteries, C size 7.
Calling all Engines! Calling all Engines! It's Thomas! [THOMAS WHISTLES] He's The Number 1 Blue Engine! He's a cheeky little tank engine, with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, and a whistle. [THOMAS WHISTLES] Thomas Works On His Very Own Branch Line With His Two Faithful Coaches, Annie And Clarabel. Sometimes He Can Be A Little Impatient, Often Getting Himself Into Trouble! Oh-ho, Thomas. But Thomas Is Always Helpful And Works Very Hard. That's Why He's A Really Useful Engine!
Who would have known that this would become one of the rarest NIB trackmaster packs ever...
I did get it, but the Thomas was badly damaged in the chassis and I couldn’t use it anymore. I was able to keep the Annie and Clarabel though
ucwepn was on the verge of greatness. he was THIS CLOSE 👌😔
i only have the thomas, but the axle is broken and i don’t have the tools to fix it
Yeee 😐
@@MSSCtheGoat dont get a new thomas, get a new mother
Old trackmaster, how we all Thomas fans miss you :(
That trackmaster thomas 2012 looks to great for me
Parail,tomy and old trackmaster will always be the best.
True Dat kid
IKR
Stupid T2 t1 is better!!!
Thanks you are very kind! I have been thinking since I filmed perhaps this is when Thomas was first given his coaches to run on his branchline that was a great moment but the CGI face doesn't fit with that theory. Hmmmmm
yes thats one way to do it, the flat drive units have a slipper gear on the axle though it stops them from running well in reverse.
I got that TrackMaster Thomas with annie and Clarabel on amazon in 2015 when I was 15 years old. Now I am 18 years old. I am starting my first year of college on September 10th, 2018.
Got this today! My Thomas runs fast and he is a quiet runner
Thanks theHIROD51 yes its about time Annie and Clarabel came back, Tomy Spencer is on loan from my dads collection for full rebuild and maintenance, it has a noisy drive unit and i am very close to sorting it out, seems the gear on the long shaft can be moved about 2mm closer to the case to remove the rattling sound but move it too far and the engine will run very slowly if at all.
Thomas's popularity was at an all time high at this point with great marks and quality merchandise in every store
its hard to have a favorite with so many great locos probably the successfully modified ones i've done that are 3V with light Paxton and Henry also TOMY red F unit diesels. rollingstock i love the express coaches behind a fast steam engine and the rake of grey trucks behind anything else :)
yep I already did it but made the gear too tight and it would hardly move, slacked it off slightly and its a bit less noisy but runs fine now, also cleaned out the whole thing of fluff and hair, gunk etc.
Now I need an awesome reason why this thomas is awesome
I really love the 2012 Trackmaster Annie and Clarabel.👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 They would go Fantastic with the Tomy Plarail Thomas and the Trackmaster 2010-2013 Thomas.💙💙💙💙💙💙
G-day mate, I really enjoy watching your video reviews on tomy trackmaster and plarail trains
Have you heard that in Blue Mountain Mystery, Annie and Clarabel had got their speaking roles since season 11 episode Thomas In Trouble
I have a trackmaster Thomas and Annie and Clarabel and they are fun to run I wonder why your Thomas got shakily mine looks like it was smooth anyway good luck with your Thomas and Annie and Clarabel
this was the first ever trackmaster thomas I ever owned. I remember going to buy this back in the day but unfortunately I don’t have him anymore.
yes you are the first to mention that, I left it in on purpose this time hehe. normally i would keep redoing takes of the turntable until it was perfect.
I can't be specific but it was a very early trackmaster pack, you might be able to find one on ebay
Ucwepn, would you like to be UA-cam friends with me?
yes I have ordered it last night, plans for a mod once I have reviewed it of course
The one I converted to the 3F jinty is smooth and quiet
Yes I would love to know as well, a single locomotive here (small one) is $20, larger engines $26, Talking engines $30, Greatest moments $35, RC (non 3 speed) is $40.

back when trackmaster wasn't awful ;-;
very true
True dat
True, back when they were freewheled
Highly Extremely True
#ScrewMATTEL
yes I have had it for quite a while still new and boxed might film some stuff today :D see how I go.
I think I remember that, and also very early in one of the seasons when Toby filled in for Thomas they spoke as well but more like how trucks speak like "you're going too fast you're going too fast!" like they repeat what they say 2-3 times lol
Ucwepn, did you ever collect trackmasters in 2010 or 2011?
It's Interesting to See That the 2012 Locos Work Fine with The 2006 Stuff.
The middle wheel is so low down... I love it!
for 9V I use energizer lithium, duracell or energizer max
I don't use duracell or energizer max for AA since i had trouble with them before and thay are not as long lasting. energizer advance and lithium are better for me. my layout is identical yours and uses tomy tracks (bar the yard). Everytime you make a change to your layout I do the same changes. I do not keep my engines in boxes all at tidmuth sheds, some are in the yard. at night when not in use some are at the stations.

Which do you think is your favourite version of Thomas?
I can tell you now that from looking at the pics its a very simple design, flat drive unit shoved into a Hank shell.
Gabriel
Yes this is probably true. I like to test all the Thomas and friends on the turntable, when I don't people get upset :p
I have a couple and the Angry/grumpy face Thomas
I have a pair of Annie and Clarabels and I have a few 1992 Thomas' in my parts box but they are in pieces I could build a good working one.
Annie has a shocked face from the thomas episode 36 the runaway
I meant the description not the comments
It's a classic moment that has thomas with his branch line coaches
Just out of interest, are you aware of the other TrackMaster CGI Thomas, which uses the original Thomas type drive unit? They're only available as part of sets such as the BMM and KOTR tie in sets. I must say the Thomas I'm on about is much better proportioned than the flat drive unit one as the face on the FD one is a lot rounder and fatter.

Hi no I have not noticed but i will keep my eyes open for one now.
I've got this pack in 2023 and owned it since 2012-2013 and despite its age,the thomas still works brilliantly along with the annie and clarabel,although a bit of Thomas's eyebrow paint has come off,but its in perfect condition
I quite like this version of Thomas, wish I had one.
great review, are you planing to review the new RC trackmaster trains at all?
Yes Henry runs on 3volts from 2 batteries.
Do all the 2012 engines have split axles?
Very good review, Like this new style Thomas, and Annie and Clarabel look very nice with their CGI faces after being discontinued for quite a long time (not talking about Plarail). Just one thing, i noticed there a TOMY Spencer but I tought you had a TrackMaster silver Spencer. Or do you have both?
There's a little method to make engines go backwards. Put a small piece of tin foil in the positive end of the end and put the battery in backwards
Yes I am if i can find them for sale.
wow sounds interesting would love to see a video
Thank you for putting this out I'm getting it tommorow and also where's Henry's breakvan
I got the same Douglass as you but mine have metal axles
7:48 2012 thomas with annie and clrarabel 's test run
Omg I need this thomas (2012)
Yes there is huge profit in it, they probably cost $3 to make and charge $35.
XxmadmuttmanxX Sorry my friend but I get so many requests a day for this or that its very hard to keep up with everyones wishes, I will add your name to the comments so it will be there forever.
i try lots of different batteries and as you can imagine i go through ALLOT as I use fresh batteries for every video. I honestly buy whatever is on sale because they are very expensive here so I stock up sometimes I can get a good brand for 70 cents a battery and i stock up with a few packs
who me? haha thankyou
I'm from South Korea and i gave it for Christmas gift and i still have it
Thanks!
Hi I don't know if I ever will, I enjoy reviewing things at the moment :D
Can you tell me which rolling stock packet had Annie Clarabell and Henrietta?
I recall seeing them but I never got the chance to buy them..
If you don't know then it's ok
yes there isn't much to the flat drive units I stripped and rebuilt 2 yesterday
I may do a video about all my modded and custom engines but i have reviews I want to make first
how did you get the grass
for the serial number question? I will have a look later, sorry for the late reply.
I want this so badly my Annie has a cracked roof cuz of my foot
Do you have a old tomy 1992 thomas with Annie and clarabel
Its a good engine, the looks are better than the old version but some engines can be noisy and jerky running.
Oh hope your rebuilt turns out good. And wich Spencer do you prefer?
Hi yes it is nice to be thorough although sometimes it can make for a long boring video.
I just got one from my dad for a half-birthday a couple days ago it said 2009 on the bottom
Hay I’m Xander nice to meet you buddy
I miss this ):
Maybe it was because of the official speaking role return of Annie & Clarabel in the CGI series (Blue Mountain Mystery)
You did not compare trackmaster 2012 thomas to the plarail thomas (the one in the station set), steam along thomas and the original 2002 tomy talking thomas.
I got mine at Lowes and it was pre-cut
I have both Thomas with Annie and Clarabel. This time I have the tomy one. However, both of them (Whom is tomy) broke. But at least I have new trackmaster ones! One from 2012, and one from 2009/2010
Ucwepn where can i buy it but Ebay no production
This is a nice model. But why is it considered a "Greatest moments"? Thomas pulls Annie & Clarabel everyday.
Yes I have to say the next Thomas I bought the same as the one in this video but with no coaches ran allot better and smoother and I made that one into my 3F Jinty tank engine.
Can you do a review and test run on diesel 10 with gold trucks?
This looks neat in anyway
1 more thing im a big fan of ur vids
Hi yes some Thomas' are loud i have had several now
It's quite rare with cheap old tomy James and Gordon.
OMG! its me!
its been 10 years, and i dont have this
the batteries i use for 1.5 volts are:
1. LD Ultracells (like the one you use), AA, AAA and C
2. Energizer Advance, only AA, sometimes AAA
3. Energizer Lithium, AAA and AA
4. NIMH Rechargable (only for TM Silver Spencer with Doyushu Dragon 3 volt motor so far), AA
5. FUJITSU ALKALINE BATTERIES LR14, C size
6. Rayovac Size LR14 Rechargeable Alkaline Batteries, C size
7.
I loved the video
Annie and Clarabel face has change a little bit.
Did you have anything like this?.
can you make a review of you headlamp coustom thomas pleaseeees
very cool
I cant find that toy in my local toy store in ny
Hi it has been discontinued since last year and is now hard to find. Try ebay

Really. I got for my birthday I just have.
Calling all Engines! Calling all Engines!
It's Thomas!
[THOMAS WHISTLES]
He's The Number 1 Blue Engine!
He's a cheeky little tank engine, with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, and a whistle.
[THOMAS WHISTLES]
Thomas Works On His Very Own Branch Line With His Two Faithful Coaches, Annie And Clarabel.
Sometimes He Can Be A Little Impatient, Often Getting Himself Into Trouble!
Oh-ho, Thomas.
But Thomas Is Always Helpful And Works Very Hard.
That's Why He's A Really Useful Engine!
i gpt this exact 1 from amazon and it cost about $20 but when ir runs its loud
I have already done both those videos :D have a look through my channel most engines are done. some early ones from my old layout I might remake.
whats that foward reverse thomas called
+Steven Universe It comes with the plarail search and rescue set
I Cant Find It On Ebay The plarail search and rescue set
Also Do You Have A Hit Intertainment Thomas Eg:trackmaster.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas?file=TrackMaster2012Thomas.jpg
+Steven Universe Yeah I couldn't find one either when I just searched for you, seems to be incredibly rare now :(
+Steven Universe I have almost 1 of every example of Thomas, I need the Christmas one and the new real steam versions tho :)
These engines feel lighter becuase the new 2012 engine style isnt like tomy drive units
Thomas is the No. 1 Blue Tank Engine
Get Ferdinand or Stafford next
My Annie is facing away from Thomas and towards clarabel and could you probably help me with renewing Annie and clarabel
I like the new Annie and Clarabel
Try flipping the shell of Annie around to make it facing Thomas' back.
Do have a tomica world thomas
