Honestly it’s better that Thomas, Edward, Henry, James, Rusty, and Sir Handel are replicas. I know several of the engine props are owned by ThomasTankMerch, but I’m happy to see the people who worked on the new layout saw sense to use replicas instead of 20+ year old models.
Wow the new layout looks amazing and much better than what it was before thank you for sharing this and can’t wait to see it next time I visit Drayton Manor 👍❤️🚂
I love the new layout and the new engines, they all look so cool also now we got narrow gauge😮, but let’s just hope they take better care of these models
Also they also play season 3, 4 & 5 I don’t know if other seasons will play but in a leaked photo they did play a big world big adventure but I don’t know if they will play those episodes
This is the first time I have seen a video of someone actually doing a walk around of the whole layout rather than the usual bits and pieces still scenes from various locations of the set layout. So for that I say thank you, JP1997.
I understand this might have been just the modellers putting faces on things to make it all look nice, but I'm considering it canon anyway. 1:47 We got TVS Cora!
0:14 - A Cow on the Line. 1:35 - "Whatever next? Those aren't coaches, they're cattle cars!" 1:47 - Hello, Cora. 2:11 - (What looks like) The Spiteful Brake Van's face on Toad's body. 2:43 - S.C. Ruffey's face on a Red Troublesome Truck's body. 2:59 - There's a model series version of Lei. 4:20 - There's the real Toad. He's Rosie's brake van today. 4:27 - Dennis the Menace. (As an American, I prefer the blonde one with a big white dog named Ruff.) 4:57 - Old habits die hard for Bulgy. 6:52 - I already made a Cow on the Line joke earlier in this comment.
Glad to see the new layout is in good nick, and the replicas look decent. It’s a shame that some of the originals are damaged beyond repair and may never see the light of day again and… No. No they couldn’t have 4:17 If those are Awdry’s E2 Thomas and OG Edward… I hope that glass is protective enough to stop any robbers… Poor Toby…
@@merlinandmurdoch7837 but we don't know if this is the brass model or plastic if it was the plastic one yes I would be wrong but the brass one not so much
All I’ll say is, I hope the caretakers are actual professionals now, and not the careless old tosspots that were there previously. Otherwise, it’s all for not.
As nice as the new layout is. I still find it a bit of a shame that this wasn't given more space I remember visiting years ago and being told that they had one day hoped to give a bigger 'layout' or possibly several with different sets of characters but that seams to have never gone anywhere.
He's not a random brake van the face on it's back is a fully from the spitfull brake van who's I think got tourhn into the dumpster it sad that happens BUT hay he's there this face has been found and the body is just a replica of toads

Hearing that Henry and Thomas (and the others of course but it’s more obvious) are replicas is so reassuring considering the exhibition’s history
Who isent a replica?
@@MichaelJones-vx7lt I think spencer, Rosie, Dennis, bulgy and maybe a few other static ones are the originals. All the moving models are replicas
@@napsbrickrailways2290 cranky, butch, thumper and possibly salty too
toad and lots of the rolling stock too i believe
Definitely an improvement to the previously layout
I do hope that they’re taking better care of these models now. 😥
Some of these models are replicas
@@Funni_robloxtrain So I’ve heard.
Looks like they are
Who made them? I have money.@@Funni_robloxtrain
I think the replicas are James rusty sir handel and Edward because I heard the props are owned by Thomas tank merch

Looks great. Ready for the show's 40th next year.
That’s awesome I wish I could go there someday
Nice to have Season One and Two getting played in the background. Also what the heck happened to Toad?
The “toad” is not actually him it just some unnamed brake van the real one is behind Rosie in the layout
Also they also play season 3, 4 & 5 I don’t know if other seasons will play but in a leaked photo they did play a big world big adventure but I don’t know if they will play those episodes

Looks great
I love it I should visit there oneday
Nice to know there actually taking care of there engines

DENNIS
I wish Bachman made a model of him in my opinion he’s the coolest looking diesel despite the model he’s based on only have one ever built
Definitely a step up from before..
All the same i still have my doubts.
Awesome my favorite character Discover Thomas & Friends from Thomas land

1:47
We got TVS Cora!
Amazing
They look good. Smart that they decided to make replicas, so the props dont suffer further damage. Hope they at least show them from glass cases
Hmm it is but I'm not sure who long they'll last I'd they were that careless with props how careless will the be with Replicas?
@@anthonyfisher-7090 valid
Doesn't matter which era these are from I hope these models will be taken care of this time.
But for now it's wishful thinking.
Glad they built a better layout with replicas more in favour after finally hearing the backlash from the previous one
The new layout looks great!
Cool!

4:17 is that Awdry’s model of Edward and his E2 Version on Thomas?
Definetly an improvement, although imo the faces look darker
I hope Gordon and Percy get added.
All the TUGS Props are putting on the spots on Brandam docks.
Oh, my childhood! 0w0
Great 😊 what track is that being used?

Poor Toby…
I was thinking the same thing. I thought they were at the talyllyn railway. In the Awdry study.
The models have been restored
No they are just Replicas
Aw
Well lets hope they dont get stolen
🎵 Toby, oh Toby, where the hell are you? 🎵
Looks way better also where is Edward and Rosie
Here's hoping they'll treat them with care. Prior to this remodel, a lot of footage I've seen the models were in horrible condition.
YAYA THEY REPAIRED THE MODELS we will never forgive them for doing it in the 1st place but this makes up for it
They didnt repair them, they replaced them with replicas and now the original models are in storage.
the running models are replicas
4:17 don't tell me these are the actual models the reverend made himself because if they are i will die inside
being a creative person myself, it would be so easy to make a non permanent water effect within the dock & canal even without touching the props…
Which one are the actual props and replicas? I know at least the Gauge 1 Rusty has to be
Quite a few of them are replicas like Thomas,Annie,clarabel,James,Henry,Edward, rusty and sir Handel
@@StewieJustSaidThataren’t James and Edward owned by ThomasTankMerch now
@@StewieJustSaidThat I thought the brass ones were in the hara model railway museum in Japan
@@ngfstudio4818Oh thank god. God forbid they would be running Plastic Henry, that was my main worry seeing the tour
@@StewieJustSaidThat I’ve been told from a few sources that they are ThomsModellers s1 replicas, they were loaned to drayton. I’ll recheck though
My boy Henry is running finally hopefully he does not die
@@StewieJustSaidThat probably like 60 or something
@@Its_Tim1The show started in the early 80’s you remember
@@merlinandmurdoch7837 but we don't know if this is the brass model or plastic if it was the plastic one yes I would be wrong but the brass one not so much
I've heard all running models are replicas this time around.
@@Its_Tim1it's neither of the models, it's a replica apparently

Is ir just me or the Thomas ,Annie and clarabell props look like the coolprops one but with mottor inside them?

Is Spencer A Replica? Or Is It The Screen Used Gauge 1 Model?
It’s the screen used prop
Wasn't Percy supposed to be on this layout ?
It was between him and Salty
2:11 Is that meant to be Toad with a different face?
The “toad” is not actually him it just some unnamed brake van the real one is behind Rosie in the layout
He's not a random brake van the face on it's back is a fully from the spitfull brake van who's I think got tourhn into the dumpster it sad that happens BUT hay he's there this face has been found and the body is just a replica of toads
@@mechaitheracer2563 behind rosie is the real model today on the new layout
Of tode
Well they got james back or made a new one and the models seem to be repaired and repainted so I take it they are taking better care of them
Its better condintion
I pray they don’t get messed up 😢
When did Drayton manor get good?
Wil Gordon and percy be added at any time
My question is, where is the original Thomas? Edward was sold. but Thomas is missing
Probably with Mattel
Whos the silver diesel locomotive
Dennis
@@JamesProductions-fj4ipgreat video 😊❤
Are these replica models or the real ones?
The main characters and Rusty and Sir Handel are replicas. All of the trucks and characters introduced after season 4 are the real ones
Wow
Everytime u go there theres always kids standing infront of the grass
Edit: glass*
Why didn’t you just change “grass” to “glass” instead of adding a correction
@@KBY30because yes
Whers henry spencer james rusty salty come from
Mattel storage
@@leoroberts3842 ok thanks
Spencer and salty came from mattel's storage, the ones that are running are replicas
I beg that they take better care of these models 😭
Disappointed that Hank, Molly, and Stepney are not there anymore, and I do hope they will take better care of the sets and models...
Get rid of the mat clear coat and it’ll be great
Do like that they are using classic era dialogue too.
@@StewieJustSaidThatthe main cast in the layout are replicas
Are James and Henry real Props, Also are those fully Restored Thomas, Edward, and Rosie?
They might be replicas, I saw James and Edward had their safety valves.
James, Henry, Thomas, and Edward are replicas. Rosie was replaced with her second model.
