There was one time that I had a dream about finding James in a chest at a random place it was a little bit bigger. When him and I met we talked and after that, we became friends and I picked up and held him and went places.
3:03 This image of Ringo Starr holding the model of Thomas will forever be associated with the show. Even after Ringo is dead and gone (thankfully, he's still here at 83, will be 84 in July), people will still remember him by that picture.
0:46 finally , finally I know how the y change their face expression when I was a kid and I finally know why my toys cannot change face expression like the old series , thank you and sorry for my bad English
The amount of effort to bring this show to life, a failure in 1953, then brought to television on October 9th 1984, 8 million people tuning in to watch the shows very beginning. All thrown to bit and sold at auctions, just because of Computers. I wonder how pissed the original model makers were when they realized the POSSESION they once OWNED was just being auctioned out just because of CGI
I remember perfectly, watching Thomas on TV with my grandpa and we were getting happy and excited from just hearing and seeing the first fragment of the intro. We watched the good old times series when there was no thing such as cgi, just moving eyes and static people. Man, remembering this really makes me cry... (Thomas' whistle bell) Bye !
The crashes in the Models were more realistic than the CGI version, watching the CGI one is just not, as real Also my favorite crash was Duncan gets spooked, the part where peter-sam's trucks fall off the bridge
Yep. These are all models. I think some may say these were really G scale. But here we see it in other scales as well. But to model the entire Island of Sodor in G scale, you really need a ton of space. For those who read the Thomas Wiki facts about the engines, the time line the sets took place was between I think the early 1920s up to about the 1950s.
characters of sodor; Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Emily, Duck, Bill and Ben, Diesel, Oliver, Molly, Whiff, Duke, Skarloey,Sir handel, Toad, Donald and Douglas, Trevor, Terence, Butch, Caroline, Lady and Diesel 10.
The producers and makers of Thomas must have some of the models too. Every two seasons the trains look slightly updated and newer. They have had to made so many Thomas'
Man as much as my mind can remeber it was easier to make crashes with the models instead of the Cgi Series because in the Cgi Series the animators have to take extra time to make a crash but in the model Series the models have gravity and the crashes are way more easier because on a computer you can make Trains go through each other but in the model Series you can't that makes a scene of an inpact aka a model hiting another model
the song at 0:03 brings back alot of memorys of when it was 2008 and stainerjacks videos were my favorite......and now there gone. Same with jenkins92s videos and 16s disaster (tomy)
When you watch the show it all look so simple, but it is a awful lot of work to set it up and shoot it without digital effects. Then the editing. And i did not even mention the building of the layout.....
3:28 Lady! Lady should be in more episodes and stuff *SINCE SHE IS THE ENGINE THAT HOLDS THE ISLAND OF SODOR TOGETHER. SHE ONLY GOT 1 MOVIE WHICH WAS TATMR AND A SCENE IN CALLING ALL ENGINES!* 😡😡😡
Imagine they made an episode in the new CGI series of the Narrator reading an RWS book or watching an old T&F / TTTE&F episode Or they could remake an old Thomas episode in the CGI #theadventurebegins
some are in london in the thomas part of the theme park Drayton manor. the rest are in Nitrogen studios on display in the lobby. where nitrogen studios is located i have no idea.
Just Imagine If The Marklin Engine Appered In The Adventure Begin's And Thomas Would Think Hey Who Is Pulling That Train aAnd At The End Of The Movie He Met The Marklin Engine And If The Engine's In The Shed In The Three Railway Engine's Also Appeared
Is there ever a behind the scenes of the Thomas songs like do mike and jr get kids to perform and rehearse the Thomas songs with the script and who are the kids who sing the Thomas songs
i didn't know how big some of the sets were. so much effort. the magic is lost when its all done with computers
JamesPlaysGames95 true.
Their faces, when I saw them, were so horribly animated, I would rather have the static masks over the ball eyes.
They ruined it with the new school version
So true
Thomas the stupid cgi „baby show”! I thing the classic series is much better then the cgi series.
When l was a little kid, l thought that everything in Thomas was real.
I'm with you, I deadass thought the same thing
There was one time that I had a dream about finding James in a chest at a random place it was a little bit bigger. When him and I met we talked and after that, we became friends and I picked up and held him and went places.
Well, it's more real than modern CGI
Mayra Mendoza they were going for that, making Thomas and friends as real as possible. Like as if they used real locomotives.
Once I asked my grandpa how they could film right in front of a real train without getting hit.
This is a certified hood classic
Who else misses those days
The blue Blur fan me
I do, I loved the original series, and like everyone else, the animated series lack the soul of t&f (Thomas and Friends)
Me
Me 😢
Me
After all this time. I finally got to see the people that made my childhood 😁
imagine if they remade these same models for sale and mass produced them
I would buy them so quick
if you had G scale layout. that's the scale of the original models
I WOULD BUY ALLLL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've always dreamed of that happening
Patrick Savage ME!!!
2:23 BTS on the flying kipper
yeah! bring back the ORIGINAL Thomas! That was the BEST!
Bring back Shining Time Station again!
Nigel Murphy Good thing, because Andrew Brenner is bringing Thomas back to its good state.
Yeah The CGI Series is what absolutely, completely ruined Thomas And Friends
+Nigel Murphy CGI didn't ruin the series, the writers and producers did. Just because they changed format doesn't mean you should needlessly complain.
ikr the new one s stupid but the old one was funny becase they crashed every 2 seconds
Who doesn't miss Ringo Starr or George Carlin as the conductor
Andrew S me, but I miss them as the narrators
Why can't they bring back George Carlin?
CaptainNintendo2
Unfortunately, George Carlin passed away on the 22nd of June, 2008.

My Childhood Show Being Exposed
This brings back so many old memories;( it makes my cry with happiness😢😁 they should bring back the originals
SPINNING EYES
ConnorSkateboards they aren’t able, as Drayton Manor ruined a few of the models, and let Toby get stolen, but they can remake them
I find the old seasons better than the new computer animated seasons. That was really model railway!!!!

Ah Thomas the Tank Engine was literally my childhood!! Favourite narrator was Ringo Starr
Ah the good old days 😀
Stupid CGI ruined Thomas...
at least people are making Hornby/Bachmann fan episodes😀🚂🚃🚃🚃
Crazy Panda1712 lol
Ethan Does Things do you have Hornby
Crazy Panda1712 no, but now I want it. links?
Ethan Does Things well season 20 is ok
The fact that they SMASH THE SET WITH HES SHOES
Classic. I remembered watching this everytime when I was a kid, bought a couple cds and replayed it again everytime.
Anybody here in 2018? No just me? :(
i'm from the future (2019)
that creepy nerd in your class no, not a single other human being watched this video in 2018
that creepy nerd in your class 2019
0:46 finally , finally I know how the y change their face expression when I was a kid and I finally know why my toys cannot change face expression like the old series , thank you and sorry for my bad English
Season 2 is my favorite season of Thomas.
the computerized version lacks soul.
true
I agree
100% agree.
KlunkerRider I agree
totally agree & thats why I stopped watching it but I bet the CGI is cheaper to make tho

So that's why they look so realistic
1:05
Look at that last face
THOMAS WITH BLOOD DRIPPING OUT HIS EYES?!?
No, Thomas is blushing...
It was from the Halloween horror special
I don't think that s blushing mate
@@limon7580 Then maybe some paint just got on it...
That's Thomas' unused triumph face. It maybe look like his face have blood but his face is red.
Imagine how fun it was to work there!! You were basically being payed to play with trains!!
I've visited Thomas Land in Tokyo ever since I was a kid.
こういう職人技の塊って、素晴らしいなって思う
この時代のトーマスが一番好き
Pretty cool to see the models and the behind the scenes
at 2:57 the fat controller is bigger then the engines XD
Naomi Sweeney is true!!!
I like to see what's behind the scenes of Thomas and friends
Bill, Diesel, Duck and Whiff (Thomas and Friends model television series characters) have to be from television to sell to Toys R Us
I keep skipping 10 seconds and the music still sounds good
if either hornby or bachmann started making trains like that to that standard they would make an absolute fortune
What a music! I just had to see the "movie" one more time!
That first song instantly transports me back to the best thing ever made CGI=3.5/10 models=999,999,999/10 this made ma cry
Cool!
I loved when they used models instead of that dumb CGI we have now.

I miss this model Thomas series
PLEASE tell me there's ANY bts of ghost train 👻 it's my favorite episode of ALL TIME!

This is so awesome! I have wondered how this show got made since I was a baby!
0:34 Wow Duck is missing his Eyebrows
*O face*
I Always wanted to find out how the whole model railroad looks like. I Think they must have some track plans or something...

OMG! So many awesome that i never saw before!
when you saw them being rip apart remembering their just a toy,instantly ruins your childhood
(i have all the dvd when i was young
i love the endding music. one of the best songs hit ever made.
now i truly know how the faces work
It sucks now because its all CGI now
+Skarloey511 Stop blaming computer animation. Nothing you've said is correct and you need move on with your life.
***** But it's good to have morals and education, but also some good jokes as well!
Joe Johnson Keep the morals as the education, that's how it was in older shows.
noR10swDBaur Ah, you got me there. They really should.
Joe Johnson You're being completely vague and that's not what the Railway series was actually about.
2:54 is easily one of the best picture I've seen EVER on the internet.

If you are looking forward to buy origninal props ,forget it.
Most of them are in Drayton Manor and in its warehouse in Staffordshire
1:29 directly above the paper towels,sunshine?
I like the Beatles and when i heard that ringo star was the season 1 narrator i freaked out sooo much
woah some of the pics ive never seen before and are incredible
BE BRING MARKLIN BRING BACK DUCK BUT ON THE STEAM AND ALSO BRING BACK EDWARD AND HENRY PLZ
I wonder why they stopped using models as the trains. But still Thomas is a world wide phenomenon.
DeUgandaWey CGI was easier to produce and was less costly.
Its called Adventure Theme, it was in the episode Train Stops Play and also Bowled Out
I am now rethinking my childhood
Thank you so much for showing me This!!!!!!!!!!!!
i read a magazine article on the filming of thomas & friends from 1988
Show me
One of Thomass faces has blood coming from his eyes
I thought so too but that is his unused triumph face. It looks like blood but his face is red.
So many feels..
Wow if the measels didn't exsist we wouldn't have Thomas awdrys son getting sick was the best thing that ever happened
Imagine they made an episode in the new CGI series of the Narrator reading an RWS book or watching an old T&F / TTTE&F episode
Or they could remake an old Thomas episode in the CGI
#theadventurebegins
some are in london in the thomas part of the theme park Drayton manor. the rest are in Nitrogen studios on display in the lobby. where nitrogen studios is located i have no idea.
This show was my favorite last time
I like the 1984 - 2009 style instead,
Computer animated episodes began in 2009
Thank you for the creator thomas and friends
Just Imagine If The Marklin Engine Appered In The Adventure Begin's And Thomas Would Think Hey Who Is Pulling That Train aAnd At The End Of The Movie He Met The Marklin Engine And If The Engine's In The Shed In The Three Railway Engine's Also Appeared
At 2:34 there is O.J., from TUGS the sister series of Thomas and friends
I hope they didn't get rid of these models. Because heck that's what made them famous! I think they should keep them! 🙂
They did, hit entertainment has them in storage
well some of them :(
Many have been donated to a museum in Japan, there is video of them running on youtube.
Woodstock The Bird Oh.
wonderful!
I KNEW IT THEY WERE TOYS! SCREW YOU, MA! YA SAID THOMAS WAS AN ACTUAL TRAIN! *BUT SOONER OR LATER I WILL FOUND OUT THE HARD TRUTH*
This is so great
this makes me wonder; once they finished filming, did they decide to play around? I certainly would.
If i'm correct at 2.36 that the paddle steamer is actually O.J from tugs?
You are correct.
Fury Shepherd yes
2:36
Some is at Drayton ,some is at the company who does the CGI.The rest is in a warehouse
This one the best..new one if animated
feel sorry for the kids today who grew up with cgi. the model thomas was the best without a shadow of a doubt.
Is there ever a behind the scenes of the Thomas songs like do mike and jr get kids to perform and rehearse the Thomas songs with the script and who are the kids who sing the Thomas songs
the guy with blond hair in some photos kinda reminds me of bobby maxwell from the enforcer
i always had a feeling they used some king of train set up/layout to do the early episodes
yes lady is in these pictures!!! I adore lady so much xD
I like trains
thomas: no just no
percy: VROOOOOOOOOM SORRY
