Fun fact: pilot Thomas actually got scrapped, as for the Marklin engine, he got scrapped, too, in season 3, they where starting to have more, and, more, so, they found no point in using him, anymore.
Thomas: QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I'M LOST, I'M DOWN IN A MINE AGAIN!! Sir Topham Hatts: If only Thomas would be found right now. Thomas: GOSH DANG, SIR!! I'M STUCK IN THE MINE AGAIN, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND THE CRANES!! Sorry, I thought about an old reference from a very good movie. 😂😅
Well, just his original model, his brass model made for the movie is at hara and 3 extra brass models made for the special "the great discovery" are on display at explore the rails and Drayton Manor respectively (2 at explore the rails, 1 at drayton)
That's only a rumour lol, it's very likely to be true, but all we know is that it was considered to be in some cancelled s25 episode before AEG was greenlit so it is in Mattel's hands in some way I guess
I'd rather it stay lost tbh. If Mattel do have it, I hope Sam and Sean don't find out as last I talked with them, they didn't know where it was but Micheal White does for some reason (he was the one who provided the s25 Thomas info) if it did turn up, you bet it would be repaired like shit knowing Sam and Sean and there reputation of mishandling the props
Thomas's plastic model could be in storage around late 2021 and early 2022 i heard rumors that the model itself is in mattels HQ somewhere in there office i did thought percy would also be there but after seeing his condition after being purchased by thomastankmerch i do think that thomas's model is just in storage and kinda in the same condition as percy.
The props ThomasTankEngineMerch and Mattel/Sam Wilkinson has aren't the same ones from the original 80s/90s show, they are rebuilds by HiT. The pilot Thomas and Gordon were referbished for S2 then turned into scrap props for subsequent later seasons. The whereabouts of the originals are either unknown or have been bin'd
loving all the "other trains" but where is lady?? I have looked everywhere to find who has her but if I see her I will buy and restore her! btw really love her and molly!
The Thomas prop’s location has been apparently confirmed, and it’s not in a good place. It turns out to be at Drayton Manor, as the model there has features only the Perspex model had, such as certain proportions on cab windows, dome and funnel. Quite sad really.
@@spinosuchusdude7302 I’ve just done some more research, and it’s been pointed out to me that the pictures of Thomas I’ve been looking at were in fact of a replica they built and put on display. Idk if it’s either the had one on whilst the other was being restored, or that there are 2 on at the same time. Here is where I found the truth: ua-cam.com/video/nS09-lqy4uw/v-deo.html
Most of the backdrops and grass were thrown away around season 2, Everything else was preserved for use intill season 12, Some of the buildings, and tracks were donated to drayton manor and HARA, some of the structures were sold or given away to crew members. The rest were thrown away. likely because HIT thought they had no value.
The back, you are alowed to go, you just have to pay a fair amount of money. last event they kept a broken model of duck there as well as boco I think.
@@BrandonRogerRoger-kq4rm people wont give you the thomas prop. they wouldnt give up something so valuable. and besides, 1 thomas episode costs 50,000$ to make. just get the bachmann OO/G scale models, the hornby HO scale models or the lionel G scale/0 scale models.
Its fascinating how a few custom model trains lasted so long, especially when they could just have fallen apart
Trust me, it won't be long before Gordon and Henry fall apart
@@MonikaTrains not if they're restored
@@vehicleandanimalcrossoversconsidering what Clear Water did to other famous models of other shows ...
Likely not
@@therailwaymen2203 No it's not the event, it's sam wilkinson and sean O connor mishandeling the models
Thats because they were taken care of always.

“Where, oh where is Thomas? Where has Thomas gone?”
“Perhaps he’s playing hide and seek or something’s really wrong”
he’s probably on vacation probably on a another ✨ ADVENTURE ✨
" Sir Topham Hatt has spoken, Thomas must be found."
"So everyone is searching every inch of sodor ground"

Tbh I'm surprised THOMAS THE STAR OF THE SHOW is the only lost and missing one but everyone else is fine

@@MonikaTrains well yeah I know about the hell drayton manor is
@@Bioburningk Least the Thomas there is one of 3
we are not to sure about Toby.
@@ThomasFandom He likely still out there, just under private ownership
I do believe that the original Thomas model is at Mattel's UK headquarters, The Porter Building in Slough, England.
That's only a rumour lol, it's very likely to be true, but all we know is that it was considered to be in some cancelled s25 episode before AEG was greenlit so it is in Mattel's hands in some way I guess

@@MonikaTrains Ah, okay.
@@thomaswalsh8726 My guess is that the model is secretly badly damaged and they don;t want anyone to know....
0:55 James is feeling a little blue today.
WOW> SO THATS WHERE THE THOMAS PROPS ARE!!! I HAD NO IDEA! THANK YOU FOR INFORMING ME ABOUT THIS USEFUL INFORMATION!!!
JoNjOn I WIlL CloSE shAve yOurHAus
1:19 I'm sorry to tell you this but cursed female Gorden did not survive. 😭
Im pretty sure Thomas' model is tucked away deep inside Mattel's archive.
Just imagine every single person that has the orginal model just meet and set a big laylout with the character (that proply wont happen)
We don't want another repeat of what happened to the tugs models.
Thomas's plastic model could be in storage around late 2021 and early 2022 i heard rumors that the model itself is in mattels HQ somewhere in there office i did thought percy would also be there but after seeing his condition after being purchased by thomastankmerch i do think that thomas's model is just in storage and kinda in the same condition as percy.

That’s false, the models that Ricky, Louis, and Mattel owns are the original plastic models. How could you think this?
2:53 wait toby is percy
Lol
If matel ever get rid off the Thomas model I hope Thomas tank merch or toms props gets it
I can't believe they lost Thomas, he's the main character!
I found Toby in wiki
It’s own by sam the movie collector
I like to think that the original Thomas, the train model is in a coffin of someone who really matter to the company.
Thomas with god and Gordon at crewe is funny
Ohhh, I found the thomas prop in the garbage..... I thought it was one of those bavhman model trains so I donated it to charity....
When I purposely spread misinformation on the internet
@@MonikaTrains I may have thought the toby prop was chocolate, so I ate that too.
@@StewieJustSaidThat Cool, I ate TomsProps
Thomas prop is owned by matter, and the model in matter storage
loving all the "other trains" but where is lady?? I have looked everywhere to find who has her but if I see her I
will buy and restore her! btw really love her and molly!
railway preservation but tv models
Where oh where is thomas
definitely needs a part 2
poor toby's in rough shape. hope whoever purchased him can restore him nicely. maybe take some pictures to show he's ok
What about the emily prop?
huh. never knew this. thanks for the info :)
ps: you spelt weights wrong at 2:31 lol
Who is the lost
Who are the 2 in and out of storage
And Who are the 3 in private hands
Hi. On 1:18 Where did you get that picture from of Henry?
Why does Thomas tank merch have like everything from Thomas the tank engine he has rolling stock, some characters, basically everything from the show.
I'm glad HE Is the one who gets alot of the vintage Thomas props and not drayton manor, Sean or Mattel.
Thomas is in Storage
The Thomas prop’s location has been apparently confirmed, and it’s not in a good place. It turns out to be at Drayton Manor, as the model there has features only the Perspex model had, such as certain proportions on cab windows, dome and funnel. Quite sad really.
They butchered the model so badly that they sent it to japan and replaced it with a Replica.
The Thomas model is not at Drayton manor that’s one of the Thomas models yoused in the great discovery
@@chantellebest3939 then how does the one at Drayton have features only the Perspex one had?
The season one thomas Model is not at drayton manor that’s one of the models yoused in the great discovery if it is season one thomas that is a shame
@@spinosuchusdude7302 I’ve just done some more research, and it’s been pointed out to me that the pictures of Thomas I’ve been looking at were in fact of a replica they built and put on display. Idk if it’s either the had one on whilst the other was being restored, or that there are 2 on at the same time. Here is where I found the truth: ua-cam.com/video/nS09-lqy4uw/v-deo.html
I was hoping that a series 5 Thomas prop is still around and intact.
News: thomas is at a private storage unit
atleast that toby didn't end up like drayton manor toby
Hopefully hes being treated well and has not been kicked around
whos to tell if the drayton manor toby isn't the same toby as the one sold.....
3 in possesion of TTM
2 used for displays
2 that are currently MIA (I guess).
Damn Thomas' prop is whereabouts unknown, well hopefully someone finds out where he actually is
MATTEL. you think they will just give away THE oldest thomas prop of the main character of the franchise.
Na. After all they've done I bet not.
Does anyone know what happened to the season 1 sets?
Most of the backdrops and grass were thrown away around season 2, Everything else was preserved for use intill season 12, Some of the buildings, and tracks were donated to drayton manor and HARA, some of the structures were sold or given away to crew members. The rest were thrown away. likely because HIT thought they had no value.
Has no one seen this? 0:20 Thomas was an express head codes
there is a part where you show toby but the bottom says percy
Hope some of the other side characters are ok.
":) percy"
dont you mean toby-
But my question is... where's the Marklin engine, or what's left of it anyway?
It might have been sold to it’s new owner
They broke it apart around seaason 2 and used it for scrap dressing. A majority of It most likely got thrown out after TATMR filming.
You called Toby Percy instead of his actual name Toby lol!
Where's this clearwater events place and are you allowed to visit there.
The back, you are alowed to go, you just have to pay a fair amount of money. last event they kept a broken model of duck there as well as boco I think.
I wonder where blustrodes original model is
Drayton Manor Sadly
the thomas prop is a drayton (i think?)
Yes but there 2 models of of the engine build
The majority of the props are in good hands
Except Gordon and Henry... COUGH COUGH Sam and Sean COUGH COUGH
Ok, this video was very confusing.
what is the clearwater events? is there one every year? if so, where is it?
i ate them
Actually, I do want all the Thomas models, so I can recreate Thomas and friends
If someone can give me the Thomas prop, I can recreate Thomas and friends please😢

Bro thinks he will get all the props because he used a teary eyed emoji lol
Wow
If anyone didn’t know, the Thomas on display at Drayton Manor is the season 1 model.
No it is false you poo poo head
The Thomas and friends community in to plan to steal all the models from Drayton manor!!!!!
That's Zeo's idea
2 words drayton manor
1:21 I don’t know just just doesn’t look right I don’t know what to say really
The running board is really low down
The Waffle House Has Found Its New Host
