Thomas Tank Jet Engine Crash - Motorized Toy Review

  • My first review of a Thomas Wooden Railway item where you will find out there is no wood to be found! Battery power now sends Thomas and the Jet Engine down the tracks as super slow speeds. Do we really need a battery powered Wooden Railway?
    Just beware as these all metal motorized trains could easily become metal missiles in the hands of eager 3 year olds. Imagine seeing a Thomas model lodged into your brand new $3000 widescreen TV. Accidents can happen!

    @petersam4 I have kids, and I know for a fact toys like this get thrown around, some kids have a passion for throwing toys, sometimes it's just the way kids play.
    Pretty sure many other parents will back me up on this fact about childhood.
    That metal ( not wooden) Thomas would really hurt if it hit your face, its way to heavy for a small child's toy.
    Any one else agree?

    @SuperHOTrains there is a little pyro smoker hidden behind the jet or on the off side of the jet, it is seen in the bloopers bit at the end!

    An interesting thing to note is the way battery powered Thomas performs on the wooden tracks for which it is intended. It has great difficulty in asscending the grades of the wooden railway, and struggles to pull even two wagons up a slope.

    @SI3DFilms i think it's sped up from memory, the poor thing is very much a slow critter
    it could be the camera angle as well as that can make things look faster than they really are, made lots of videos lately and this one seems like a distant memory

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo  13 років тому +6

    @simierski thanks, the absolute first thing I noticed about this toy is the weight, now it will be interesting to see if anyone defends having a small very heavy metallic toy aimed at very young children. I dare saw the weight is there to enable any sort of traction, you would know all about that considering you hobby.
    I just question the need for the Thomas Wooden railway to need battery power, and sure I am not paid to do good news reviews! I try to do honest reviews.

    @leokimvideo  13 років тому +5

    @cainman02 i see lots of the wooden range has motorized variants, and weird interactive version as well. i think the wooden range is best kept as hand powered, that's so much better to play with

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo  13 років тому +12

    @tropicalfishswim Thanks for this info, there seems to be a divide has some tubers tell me their powered wooden Thomas goes much faster than mine.
    From what I could see this little fellow has no issues with pulling huge weights, the gradient and height to the Tomy bridge is as high. Maybe I should do another video on what this little engine can't do!
    I know one thing it is the slowest Thomas I own.

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo  13 років тому +2

    @ULTIMAFOX22 there was a comment on another video of mine which spoke of the Botox stare of todays Thomas toys, and thats so true. Not sure what they are doing to a face which is so carefully looked at by so many people. Maybe kids like that wide open eyes look, who really knows.

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo  13 років тому +1

    @nemowerty ah yes, but not all country's get served the same toys at the same time, and I feel no one ever revealed the sluggish performance and weight issues with this toy. considering every one seems to enjoy making their Thomas go faster it may help people decide if they really need this version of the wooden toys.
    i really don't see the need for the wooden range to have powered models, young kids just enjoy doing it themselves

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo  13 років тому +7

    @Simcardlover I have seen in my son sometimes he gets excited and wants to throw a toy, young kids don't do it on purpose. If this metal ( no wood here) Thomas happen to hit sat your big expensive TV, or another child's face or yours it's going to really hurt.
    Often the wooden Thomas toys are purchased for the very young children, sadly I feel this toy is a tad too heavy to be in the hands of the very young, and I am thinking the under 5's

    very good review.
    loved the opening sequence
    to be honest i think that the jet engine thomas should be faster than the normal thomas.
    but they could at least speed it up
    (note i own very little thomas wooden toys
    i was more in too ertl wheni was young)

    I find it weird how this video is not made for kids therefore you're allowed to comment on it but the video with Thomas the Tank Engine gets obliterated by fire was blown up and then he comes back to life and says that people are always trying to kill him no matter how useful he is that's made for kids and you're not allowed to comment on that but this is completely Rated R

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo  13 років тому +3

    @TomixNscale89 the way I see it the gear ratio is set far too low for these toys, if the gears are set like this it's almost impossible to attain a fast speed no matter what speed the powering motor is doing.
    I always had a thought that the Thomas Jet Engine was all about speed and not a massive sinker weight!

  • @leokimvideo
    @leokimvideo  13 років тому +1

    @kegs666 thank you, dare say the advice here is don't buy this toy, not sure if that message is clear enough. the lack of any speed is really sad and the weights worry me, imagine a little Thomas toy lodged in your $3000 TV!
    Sort of have to question the need for a battery powered wooden railway, kids are pretty good at playing out train action without the need for powered models

    @Britishrailwaystories 13 років тому +2

    @leokimvideo - it's definitely a good honest review. To put it in perspective chap, the battery Thomas is a 30 grams heavier than the Hornby Thomas!
    Now given what the Hornby thomas can do, the weight of the "wooden" thomas is unfathomable!

  • @YafeitYemaneBackup

    Thomas passes Diesel 10, Stanley, Harvey, Lady and Diesel multiple times and keeps teleporting.

    if the jet engine has the same motor as a tomy thomas,you can switch the jet engine motor with a plasma dash motor an then the jet engine will go faster. :)

  • @ElectricityTaster
    @ElectricityTaster 12 років тому

    I think we humans have evolved to the point that we can make a powered toy train with 2 gears that you can switch between. 1 for hauling loads and another for speed.

  • @Britishrailwaystories
    @Britishrailwaystories 13 років тому +1

    Now hosted on my channel chap - I had no idea about the weight, it didn't even occur to me! Guess I don't know my own strength. My biggest issue with the model is that it looks very little like the little blue tank engine in terms of basic shapes. Colour and livery, check - but then that face and the overall shape? Horrendous! Charlie says thank you by the way, we're looking at another present for Geraint to have instead.

  • @billbarman
    @billbarman 12 років тому

    Try these same toys on regular wooden railway track. I'm sure they wont work nearly as well as they do here. I have these and they have issues getting up hills, through destinations, and pulling anything. Maybe its because most of my track and destinations are from the 1990s, but either way. thomas wooden railway is thomas wooden railway and should all be able to work together.
