Trackmaster Flying Scotsman, Unboxing Review & First Run.

- Hi Guys and Gals here we have the 2016 Trackmaster Flying Scotsman locomotive from the the Thomas and Friends special "The Great Race".
Flying Scotsman is a British locomotive of the A3 class originally built by the LNER, Flying Scotsman is also often called "the most famous steam train the world", I actually had to pleasure of seeing Flying Scotsman when I was a child when it visited Australia for the bicentenial celebrations in 1988.
This Version of Flying Scotsman is a decent looking version of the animated version seen in the special The Great Race, there are a couple of things I dislike the look of and I will let you know why.
The awful steam clouds printed all over the locomotive and tenders are an eyesore and when viewed at a distance look like decals that have peeled away partially revealing glued paper left behind. They are printed on though so it will be an interesting task to remove them without damaging the plastic.
The face is ok but the one eye with it's strange glare is a big put off and would have been better if they had made them match, I don't know why every engine from this special has to have either a half closed eye or a raised eyebrow. Please Mattel these are not lightning Mcqueen please leave the eyes alone! Kachow!
The Buffers are roughly molded and barely there, I know these are for young kids and they get dropped and buffers could get broken etc but I have seen the gradual shrinking of the buffers since 2014 soon there will be no buffers!
OK enough ranting lets get to the good points...
The shape of the body is really well done and as compact as is physically possible while still being able to fit over the drive unit, this translates to a better looking locomotive with better body proportions (This is not a repaint of Gordon).
The way it runs and the pulling power is excellent even on the wrong type of track like I use, with a little shaving down of the activation/locking tab and no weights needing to be added it could easily pull it's own tenders and 2 full size coaches with little wheel slip in spots.
Rarity, I am still to decide if this is a good thing as a collector and owning a couple of them I am happy and feel they are a good investment. But it took me a long time to find them and now I see ebay scalpers and resellers are having a field day charging up to $90 for one of these engines. This is very sad for the intended audience of these trains and that is kids. I have become familiar with the Mattel/Fisher Price cycle of production and it's waves of 3 different engines then they move on to the next 3. Leftovers get repackaged as single engines then are soon gone too. So snap this up if you see it in store as it is only 1 Flying Scotsman per case.
Overall I am happy with it and I have plans for at least one more customs video that will be nearly all TM2 and this engine will be one of them.
I give this engine a score of 9/10 (the ugly clouds hurt the score, it would have been a 10)
Thanks for watching!!!!
Great video mate! Can't wait to see more!
Thanks very much!
what's wrong with his eye?
6:19 How did you make the Tomy Road to Trackmaster road connect?!
what was that little thing in the coupling behind the engine at 8:14
What is the intro music for this
Excuse me, do you leave that tomy Trackmaster railway out all the time twenty-four seven?
Can you make it faster than ever
where did you get those Long Orange Coaches
You left Royal Spencer stuck at the station. 8:17 It's causing that noise in the background.
That's right he didn't like the stop n go rail
Good Luck Little Brother!
*SHING!* *CRASH!*
congrats you have a new Flying Scotsman very cool
can i have 1 of the scotsmen?
haha i knew someone would ask that :P sorry but I need them both.
Quite enjoyed it, as always! I'm missing the flyover, the yard, and the turntable test! :D Those were fun!
Im glad that you are back ucwepn
Hello Ucwepn, I like the review of your Trackmaster Flying Scotsman, the eyes you said are wonky, actually Flying Scotsman is about to do an eye wink like he did in the Great Race when he winked at Thomas.
Hope this help you understand!
Again great review!
Thanks! ;-)
Hi I watched the special and I don't like how almost every Trackmaster toy in this range from this special is either doing a half wink or has one raised eyebrow like lightning mcqueen lol Kachow! Thanks for your comment.
Ucwepn can you do a giveaway
Ucwepn no problem, I'm sorry I was only trying to help!
The Trackmaster Flying Scotsman still looks really cool! 😊
I'll do a giveaway when I hit 40 million views :)
No worries Jordan Thanks for watching :)
I like your Trackmaster Railway, it looks extraordinary.
Did you repaint those two coaches Flying Scotsman are pulling into LNER Teak livery coaches?
I did indeed :)
And its very nice for a repainted coach
Where do you get the weights for the trains?
Can you make the other one have no steam affects
Nice review as usual.
Thanks very much :)
Ucwepn you're welcome
I did a wheel swap with Timothy, Glynn, and Philip. I tried to do it on Samson but it couldn't fit. Trackmaster Hugo is coming soon :)
are you gonna make a custom ashina because if you are I am using bells body
Awesome review! Makes me want to get one myself! Do you think plarail will make one?
love your videos
Thanks very much :)
One way to remove decals is by using a flat head screwdriver and carefully rubbing across the decal. Otherwise, thinners are also possible. They are a bit strong though so if you wouldn't mind a bit of repaint, its okay to use. Have a great day!
I fear that could be too rough on plastic buddy, I will find a way hehe I do it to allot of hotwheels cars without damaging the paint underneath with nail polish remover
I like to see if you can do The Great Race n your layout!!
like a remake or just a race?
Ucwepn a race!
Are you going to do a wheel swap video.
Nice, will you ever compare you Scotsman to the trackmaster one?
When I do my next customs video I will.
Ucwepn I though your last customs video was your last one? NOT COMPLAINING 😉
I am not customizing any more Trackmaster 1 or TOMY trains they are getting too valuable :)
Ucwepn So from now on it is pretty much only trackmaster 2.
Congrats On Having 30,053 Subcriber Ucwepn Hope You Do Another Giveaway Soon So Count Me In
good idea
how did you make it run so smoothly even my Scotsman can't run like that over points
Filed down the activation tab to within a millimeter of it's life :)
you should mod it with real side rods that go in to the pistons
Why does my tm 2 thomas sometimes gets stuck on tomy rails
Nice review.
Thanks :)
can i have it please
Will you make it faster
Possibly one day, they go too fast with a motor swap though and fly off the rails
I solved that problem by using a standard motor from an old trackmaster engine. So it runs at the speed of an engine on 3 volt.
Hey Ucwepn!! Long time no see!! How's it been going??
Can you do a video when you do a wheel swap with Flying Scotsman.
could you mod a plarail engine so that the rods move as they would in real life like Timothy or Thomas maybe
Nice video :-)
Thanks :)
Tomy should make their own version. I'd totally get that.
Nice job Chris I have 3 things I wanna say 1 is it possible to change my username on blueplastictracks 2 there making Ryan and Jerome,Hugo and skiff and Bachmann Oliver and no they didn't make Ryan's wheels purple sadly and 3 when's the next customs vid
1) PM me at blueplastictracks and I'll change your username :) 2) yes they are, very exciting! 3) Slowly working on some customs so when they are done :)
is it weird how in my local Walmart there are a few Flying Scotsman that only cost around 16.99 dollars xD
Mate since you can't film in the garage at the moment I'd suggest you to do a Q&A for your 30,000 sub special.
What r u going to do with the other one ucwepn
There was 5 flying scotsmans in nz where I live
Nice train
Steam clouds are unsightly, and tenders too small for my liking, but otherwise he's a good-looking engine, and I'm glad he runs well on the layout!
And I"m glad I have one of my own to watch speed about, heh
All good points :)
TehPurpleBeanie I love your layout 😀
Good review as always! The steam clouds are annoying but overall for being a TM2 it's quite well made and I'm glad I got him a few months ago. He's a bit heavy so maybe that's why he didn't need the extra weight, maybe you could add some weight to the tenders, when pulling a long train on tight curves or steep inclines they tend to derail and shake a lot on the points.
Thanks mate, it's the TM2 downfall, way too light rollingstock. But to do all that stunt jazz they need to be light haha
Ucwepn Ironically since he's got 2 tenders Scotsman is unable to do most of the stunts anyway :P
I do agree about the clouds
Try micro sol, it's what Model Railroaders use.
I want that train. I agree that the clouds are ugly but I love the flying Scotsman
Me too :)
I was kinda ticked when I bought mine, his water-tender had NO DECALS on the side that you can't even see in package
I have watched a programme about the flying scotsman
The famous, 4472, flying scotsman, A3 pacific
He should of pulled the red express coacheslike he did in the great race
I'm still a big fan of your reviews, although not so much of these trains.
nice how Scotsman pulled 2 tan coaches ucwepn
I have that Trackmaster Flying Scotsman
Awesome review! I would have to give the Trackmaster Flying Scotsman a 9 out of 10 too, because I only dislike the clouds. They're so out of place and pointless. I can't wait for your next review :)
I agree mate, thanks very much :)
Is this item rare at all?
They were at the time of filming but I have seen more and more lately which leads me to believe that they have increased the number of flying scotsmans in each box.
I love this Scotsman, but the smoke effects make me not wanna buy it. I cannot wait for the giveaway
can i get one
🚂 like it 🚂
did you quit youtube?
TMR productions Hi no I haven't quit UA-cam lol been too busy plus it's summer here and too hot to film in the garage.
You should do some proper remakes
0:38 they had one flying Scotsman and i got it
Matallic Thomas
That looks like Gordon Buffers
The thing that kills this model for me is the steam
Because *urgh fast train going fast and it makes steam*
But nah it just looks awkward
I agree a mistake in design for the clouds
Ucwepn hopefully Plarail makes Flying Scotsman, or Ashima for that matter, I kinda of want to make one out of a TrackMaster Belle
