Thank you my man! :) I may have to after finding out so much about Thomas alone! I just wish each model was treated as fairly as some of these were. You’d think such historic pieces would get a little more respect but the more I read the more I find that to not be the case! 🙁
“Let’s just hope Thomas makes it out of this one” Meanwhile at the scrapyard... Percy: Thomas stop! Thomas: No! Toby: Thomas shut up and back up to us! Thomas: No!!
fun fact for the 2021 reboot and how it won't actually entertain it's target audience I did a little experiment. I pulled up a picture of the CGI Thomas and then the 2021 reboot Thomas on my phone and showed it to my younger sister who is in Mattel's Target Audience and I asked her "which is Thomas?" and she said that the CGI and Model variants of Thomas were Thomas, however when I showed her the 2021 reboot Thomas she said "that is NOT Thomas" thus showing PROOF that the so called target audience of the new rebooted Thomas the tank engine for 2021 will NOT entertain the audience aimed for! it is time Now or never to stop Mattel from making such a HUGE mistake. This video is very good! I never actually knew that Thomas had so many models over the years
0:03 he could eat a whole bowl of alphabet soup, and vomit up the vowels and consonants separately. He could speak 7 languages, but unfortunately, he was disliked in all those countries.
Well, the other models are either at Hara, which is a Japanese museum in Japan, in storage at hit, or with ThomasTankMerch, two Thomas prop collectors on Twitter.
but also in the reboot show with the dragan reboot thomas said: oh no it going to hit those trains so i got a joke for it henry and edward: hi thomas hello thomas thomas: OH NO IT GOING TO HIT THOSE TRAINS henry and edward: WHAT DID YOU SAID THOMAS HE DOESNT REMEMBER OUR NAME
So, what happened to the original Thomas used before TATMR? Did it just get thrown away? Does somebody own it? I never hear about the plastic model often, always the brass ones.
@MUHAMMAD BIN ISMAIDA ZAMRI Moe in TATMR, Thomas’s model was fixed for the production. But Gordon’s I believe had his pistons cracked and broken for the entire movie
@Phanto thats not the point. If I were to go with your words of evolving with the world, i eould really say that Instead of EVOLVING, this series is DE-VOLVING. It did had the GODLIKE Brenner Era. But Mattel does not care. All they see is a selling point. They literally dont care. We see something in this franchise taht Mattel does not: VALUE. They DO NOT Care. They don't give a shit about what Wilbert Awdry created. They dumbed it down so fucking much its ANNOYING. From a great show it went down to a BRAINDEAD show for BRAINDEAD children. IT REALLY KILLS THE FANDOM. Thats all i wanted to say. Good Bye.
Man, I wish Britt runs the show now. Imagine how much better the show would be, young kids like me and others would like to see the models back in 2021.
Even if Britt still ran the show today, it think the show would still eventually become cgi(but not 2D animated) considering how expensive the models were.
@@HannahNelson-sr3gw It doesn't help when you also know that all these characters are at minimum....20 years old. Salty is Literally one of the Youngest engines on the Island, but he acts much older. Luke is the straight up reverse and should be as old as Gordon.
It would be nice but think realistic. Do you think it would be cost effective? The studio that made season 1 went bankrupt because of the models and the set costs.
It wouldn't be very eye-catching to kids though. Kids nowadays like the cgi as that is what they have grown up with. Most adults today like the models because it is what they grew up with.
The models were the best thing about Thomas and friends It showed so much realism that looked like it was real Now it’s just a 2D animated reboot that nobody likes
I wish they would just end the show at this point. We only care about the model series and not the stupid cgi series. I only consider the model series canon like it should be. In my opinion, the show ended a long time ago...
@@themarklinengineworks2923 I say I consider S1-S7 and S17-S21 Canon. S8-S12 mediocre and S13-S15 straight garbage. As for this new reboot I say nuke the mf.
@@ebenezeronile your right and your also right about that damn reboot who un the right mind would hire a bunch of clowns to Wright the show either mattel is just utterly stupid or they rather listen to the stupid people who never saw the show or read the books
If i were the one making the reboot i would first kill off nia and rebecca by making them crash into vans of explosives then i would bring edward and henry back to tidmouth then get all of the railway series and model series characters to the show
@@themarklinengineworks2923 those the first things I would do to. If I was Billionaire and owned the rights Then I would fire and nuke all the writers, producers, and directors for BWA and replace them with Trainz Thomas writers. After that Am bring the models back and signing a multi-long deal with Coolprops to make the models and sets. Have all the episodes released on UA-cam.Then am going to take all the models from Drayton Manor and they will never return their. Am going to buy a railway and have people build a real life railway series RWS models with minor small changes and a wire model series face that moves and talk. After that I am going to make the railway a vacation site for all to go for vacations with nice beaches, nice forest, mountain tops, Museums, Restaurants, Statues. just like the Island of Sodor. I will open a museum and have the original models from Drayton Manor repaired on display for all to see and take pictures No Touching tho. Have all the history of Thomas and Friends and the RWS history set up on display as well as a model layout of the island of sodor with all the engines run activity and accurate as there tv show models.
I'm so glad i grew up with the classic TTTE and that's even strange because the period when I used to watch Thomas was very far from its boom, indeed I used to watch Thomas between 2009 and 2013, the time when CGI Thomas was born so it was more likely to watch that one but luckly I found this TV channel, I think called JimJam, where old TTTE's episodes were transmitted. Thomas is my childhood, I still remember coming home from school and go play with my trains and watch Thomas. That was the thing many, many years ago. Those are what I call gold times.
Why did Christopher lost the original Thomas model in the US. Is it because the Americans don’t want goods that are “Too British” since the Revolutionary War? And yet since then they scorn Thomas for being a generic baby show?
hang on if these were the only models ever made what were the ones in scrap yards missing a face and painted like rust that appear the same shape as thomas
trainboy buy the hornby lner j50 trun that into the thomas the the tank engine just like the wooden Regional Thomas from Wilbur W Audrey trainboy l love your customs scrap Oliver scrap tanker and scrap toad l thank you do a reallly good job
When most people think of models, the first thing that comes to mind is Victoria's Secret and fashion, but everyone here knows who is the Number 1 model in the world... (Yes, I know it's bad but I thought I was clever)
Lets just hope Thomas makes it out of 2021 or if mattel will just melt the show into a pile of garbage that could be animated in Flip-a-Clip and if the second one happens, im turning on my admin powers and im throwing mattel into the core of the earth.
Well at this point, the troublesome trucks. That or for a challenge, the old coaches. Best seen in S1. Maybe combine them with the teak coaches and/or the red coaches for a long enough video if there's not a lot on them.
Strangely, I heard the the OG model (the one used before the switch to brass model, but after the pilot model) was in storage over at Mattel for use at events where it would be displayed. Anyone can confirm it cause i can't seem to find out more about it
These old models just bring me back to old and new models
You just can't beat the models. Great work. Hope you do more history videos about each character's model.
Thank you my man! :) I may have to after finding out so much about Thomas alone! I just wish each model was treated as fairly as some of these were. You’d think such historic pieces would get a little more respect but the more I read the more I find that to not be the case! 🙁
“Worried about it being on the big screen” like bruh Gordon has a CHIPPED PISTON the first time we see him
See him in movie with chipped piston. he doesn't have a chipped piston in the 1st episode.
@@gamersgambit7517 the first time we see gordon in the movie.
Gordon's always had the chipped piston so that his front bogey could go around curves easily
When I was whaching the episode Thomas Percy and the squeak I saw Gordon again with his chiped cilinder
Ik right
Model era: realistic:
CGI: frames are rubbery
AEG: smoke box moves like a neck. Wheels are used like arms and legs. Frames used as hips.
What a de-evolution
It is evolving...
.......just backwards
“Let’s just hope Thomas makes it out of this one”
Meanwhile at the scrapyard...
Percy: Thomas stop!
Thomas: No!
Toby: Thomas shut up and back up to us!
Thomas: No!!
Geez, I knew about the pack and the narrow-gauge, but I didn't realize JUST how many models of Thomas there REALLY were!
Imagine if Mattel made the toys of Thomas just as good as the models here
I know magic railroad isn’t great but at least the models were dame good
It's really weird that so many models are in Japan now, like, do they like western culture like we love Japanese culture?
Thomas is VERY popular in Japan.
Well they do also love American Muscle cars so most likely yes
@@newwesterngrove American muscle cars and Thomas for anime and samurai swords? Sounds like a fair trade to me. :D
I love your videos trainboy
There always so fascinating and not to mention funny
this video is very interesting

Too bad The Models from the show are being destroyed by Drayton Manor...
We all know diesel 10 owns Drayton manor.
*Hopefully none of them end up like smudger*
from what I've heard they are being restored... most likely bad but still somewhat restored
Well, the other models are either at Hara, which is a Japanese museum in Japan, in storage at hit, or with ThomasTankMerch, two Thomas prop collectors on Twitter.
wait no there going to restore them.
Lets all thank the lord for Thomas Tank Merch
Great video, the model era was great
so that explains why Thomas' face(s) look so strange in the pack episodes...
Thank you for the interesting video !
Damn I just want models back
The CGI is still live here on the UA-cam channel.
When are we getting a new version of this video because some of the Info is inaccurate?
I wish I can buy the replicas of these models
Like actually screen accurate models, like having the dull face color instead of being shiny with the open cab you can actually see inside
To make one get heaps of brass go on thomas/behind the scenes watch thomas model vids and have a skill for modeling
but also in the reboot show with the dragan reboot thomas said: oh no it going to hit those trains so i got a joke for it
henry and edward: hi thomas hello thomas
thomas: OH NO IT GOING TO HIT THOSE TRAINS
henry and edward: WHAT DID YOU SAID THOMAS
HE DOESNT REMEMBER OUR NAME
So, what happened to the original Thomas used before TATMR? Did it just get thrown away? Does somebody own it? I never hear about the plastic model often, always the brass ones.
I find the model series better than CGI series
I wonder who has the original wooden model now.
Excuse me, do you know where the perspex model is now?
Nice
Actually take a drink every time you hear the word "actually"
The first Thomas 1940 model is also a wooden railway toy"☺️
Remember, they fixed the Thomas model for the movie, but they left the Gordon model broken
@MUHAMMAD BIN ISMAIDA ZAMRI Moe in TATMR, Thomas’s model was fixed for the production. But Gordon’s I believe had his pistons cracked and broken for the entire movie
I dont count the s25 thomas as a thomas
What's wrong with Drayton Manor recently? Is there a video about its history and why it's going downhill?
I like Thomas
Nice railway layout you got .Hope you like mine.
Now video cool
And yet they are actually selling replicas of Thomas props!
4:58 *THIS* is a disaster.
Hey, uh.....your voice different. Good video though
Controversial opinion but I kinda like the rivets for the newer CGI models, It's not necessary but I do like the addition.
Oh I miss the Models!!! They were such good quality back then!
@Phanto WITH MATTEL? HOOOOO NO CHANCE
@Phanto but that can't
@Phanto I say that because they have to keep up with the world cgi cartons are this year and models where 1998 to 2005

Yea but how.
We found Edward and James though

Thomas tank merch has them. There on twiiter if you want to look them up.
@@JamesTheRedEngineProductions oh, them. I thought they meant the older models.
Seeing Thomas models is like you’re watching a model train layout on your tv. You can never shake this feeling of childhood nostalgia.
That's basically what they were and I think that's what makes it even better
@@MrNoUsername One of the crew members said that they probably had the best train set in the world lol.

@@mackpunch368 Perspex is a type of acrylic.
Was never a fan of the CGI face as it made him look childish and too young.
I agree, it wasn't NEARLY as expressive as the live-action model!
Same bro, he looks like a 7 year-old but his voice is like a 14 year old that hasn’t hit puberty yet (when the face just came out)

The models are the peak of the series, not as clumsy or rubbery as the CGI. An elegant prop for a more... Civilized age

It showed so much realism that looked like it was real
Now it’s just a 2D animated reboot that nobody likes
No matter what happens in Season 25 or 26, the fandom will live on for many years to come.
Honestly I wish Thomas was always models. The faces could be cgi. This way the engines and the back arounds and the faces could actually talk.
That’s basically what Season 12 was
@@flashdawnx what he's trying to say is that from series 12 and upwards, it should be cgi and models
For those who don't know scale gauge 1 is, it is a 1:32 scale or roughly 10mm:1foot, and gauge 3 is 64mm (2 1/2 inches)
