    I just made a UA-cam channel as I thought I'd clear up a little bit of misinformation; TomTomica and I used to be in regular contact back when he was active on UA-cam, so I thought I'd just share a few things. TomTomica was German, not Australian, and in the handful of videos where he spoke (including the Wilbert tutorial), he spoke with quite a pronounced German accent. His Wilbert model was created using Percy's cab and running board, along with Bill's boiler and tanks. Quite a bit of cutting and glueing was involved, along with extra careful cutting and glueing required to get the correct spacing under the saddle tanks; it certainly wasn't an easy custom.
    Regarding his array of red running board engines and painted running board engines (I saw this mentioned before), I might be able to speak to this as an ex-employee of a certain brand's global marketing team. The painted running boards weren't a global update to the line, nor did they replace the unpainted running board engines. Japan introduced painted running boards in the early 2000s, while the rest of the Western world had unpainted running boards. I assume the red running board engines would have been purchased locally, while the painted running board engines would have been imported. As TomTomica was an adult collector (from memory in his 40s!?), money would not have necessarily been an issue when importing trains from overseas. At that time, importing anything from overseas into your country was an expensive endeavour, regardless of if you lived in Germany, Australia, or the UK. In his collection, he had a huge variety of engines, and he was a pioneering person who demonstrated the variation in the engines found in Japan; up until this time, the majority of the Western market didn't know Japan and other Asian countries had engines with much better detail. Motor Road and Rail were how Plarail was sold to the Western markets, and TomTomica's channel was one of the earliest places online to demonstrate the variation between the MRR engines as sold in the Western market and Plarail as sold in the Asian market.
    Hope this helps! :)

    Wooden Railway Reviews is a great friend of mine! It was a huge surprise when he got that interview with Roy Wilson! There were a lot of things that came to be known that were unanswered up until then! He then went on to meet Roy in person with a bunch of friends from the Thomas wooden railway community! Good memories! Great channel!

    About that All Engines Go "pilot", that was actually a test animation that was never meant to be seen public. The reason for its existence, as well as the explanation for Thomas and Gordon's simpler geometric designs, was because it was made to see how Thomas would look in 2D. Those designs were never going to be final.

I remember it derailing at the end of that video.

    I remember 2 videos from my childhood.
    The first one is a low quality video of the motorised capsule plarail circus van, it went around a small circle on a green table, it had other rolling stock behind it, and it went underneath a signal gantry or something along those lines.
    The second one I believe was a review of the tender driven Trackmaster engines or a review of recently released Trackmaster items, I don't remember much besides the first clip, which from memory was a shot that zoomed into a building, looked kinda like the wooden railway wash down, the other shot was angled, and of Trackmaster Hank with a train on an incline, I remember the narration said something about how disappointing it was that the engine couldn't make it up the incline, the whole thing was film on a big wooden table, built up like a model railway.
    I'd love for you to try and get this out here, I seriously have vivid memories of these videos, I definitely watched them multiple times as a small boy, probably around 4-7 years old, both around 2010.

In said post, a different Terminator Thomas is used, and Bulgy mentioned in the post that this one was used for the cut. I’ll link the post if necessary.

One particular episode is called So Long Toby where Toby actually left Sodor and it’s interesting because the set where Toby’s away from Sodor looks identical to MissOliver&Blossom’s iconic set used in his videos. The one and only episode of his channel that sort of still exists is the episode called Percy’s new job where TheBlueE2 actually made a remake on it using the audio from the original video.

    There was a video back in the day narrated by what sounded to be a 6 year old. It was a wooden railway story named something along the lines of "Toby, Percy, and the Bridge" and the only thing I can remember of it was Toby and Percy talking to each other (narrated by the kid of course) and the kid goes "and the bridge DID break" and right after, the bridge falls apart violently. I thought it was hilarious. I haven't been able to find this video since, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please let me know :)

    Huh, used to be a big Thomas fan as a wee lad, I remember Thomas blows his stack appearing quite often in the recommended videos for whenever my dad gave me his phone to watch UA-cam, always spooked me back then because of his face on the thumbnail. Oddly enough I remember clicking on it once but it was entirely different to the real one. I remembered it being in widescreen, better video quality too, it was Thomas getting tricked by Diesel or something along those lines, and then Thomas gets whacked by this giant mallet contraption, and that face was him beaten up from the whole shabang. Wonder if it was just a dream or something else, if any Thomas fans know what I was talking about then please let me know.

    I Was Trying To Find This Video A Week Or Two Ago But To No Avail.
    This Was A Video By Jfunk Or ItsJfunk,
    In The Video Jfunk Holds A Thomas Phone To His Ear, I Remember A Bit Of The Dialogue, Specifically "I'm Gonna Fix The Trains!" Something Above The Lines. And Then It Plays Their Remix Of Engine Roll Call, Which Was A Main Reason I Was Searching For The Video.
    One Of The Things I Remember In The Montage Was Jfunk On One Of Those Mall Trains, And The Video Ends With Him and The Dad Playing With Trackmaster Sets In A Dark Ish Room.
    I'll Try To Go Back To Finding This Video But If Anyone Remembers Anything Else Let Me Know Please!

    According to several sources, a CGI version of Don't Be Silly Billy was also made alongside Thomas and the Stinky Cheese. The storyboards are even available to be seen. Also this isn't fact but I suspect the CGI model of Billy that was used in it could've been remade into Charlie. Billy was intended to be in the season 13 episode Splish Splash Splosh before they replaced him with Charlie to sell more toys and we know they must've had access to assets from these animation tests as the face for Diesel used for Thomas and the Stinky Cheese can be seen on one of the mainland diesels in The Great Race. To further back this up, they had a CGI model of Dennis for Day of the Diesels before turning him into Norman, also to sell more toys. Also if any of this was covered, sorry. Not watched all of the video at the time of typing, hopefully haven't just wasted my time.

    I vividly remember one or two videos from this thomas series made with hornby and ertl models. One of them was a music video for I think the troublesome trucks song or accidents happen. Two clips I remember from the video were Jock running off the rails with some trucks, and another of either Gorden or Scotsman running onto a broken bridge with their front bogie being left dangling (the lighting of this clip was kind of poor). The second video was a more proper episode where the clip of Jock came from. I barely remember what the story was about but it had Jock take some trucks leading to a runaway then the clip I talked about earlier. I also recall the narrator voicing him with a gruff voice. If any of this rings bells for anyone then more info would be rly appreciated ^^
