I used to have munitions/regatta and trapped/ghosts/high winds on VHS

gotta hate being poor

I love the gauge 1 models of Flying Scotsman and Big City Engine, by the way!

No love for the n scalers? :(

Lucky

Got that W trackmasters. great collection

0:11 After hearing this, I'm sure somewhere up there, David's disappointed for what the show has become now.

Junior just said jJIIIIIIMZS

1:15 My favourite scene! 😆😆😆😆

cool collection

Loved this original Thomas when my kids were small. My daughter dragged us all over the place to look at steam locos. Wonderful times😊

Where's bloody Ringo??

When Thomas was made at Clearwater they put the series aired on CITV but got pulled by the episode Henry's Forest.

Nice collection. I have never seen the log car before. You look at all this and it's so very different to the Thomas AEG rubbish thats now not selling.

I’d walk on legos to work on that set

I just noticed that originally Percy was going to have a lamp on him during the production of season 3 since Thomas, Toby and Daisy were the only characters to have lamps at both front and back. But apart from Thomas, Percy And The Dragon Percy did not have a lamp on him until season 5.

What documentary is this from ?

They don’t make em like this anymore ! 😂wouldn’t get away with calling him Fat anymore either 🤣

That is one terrifying shot of the Galleon. Not surprised they cut King Neptune out of the book.

my favorite model of diesel 10

I found out the models are now retired and the island segments are on display near them. I would like for the staff and creators along with David Mitton and Britt Allcroft to temporarily bring them out of retirement and display mode to redo the show without the characters crashing off the track, having an accident or featuring drivers and firemen in their cabs; Thomas and the Magic Railroad was made exactly like that. But of course, if that were to happen, some of the songs'll have to be altered by their lyrics, including the narration lines, and the Runaway Theme can be used for a rushing rescue. If they agree to do all that, it won't take long since some lines can stay the same and some scenes already made like that can be spared and they can use some of the old cars from the beginner seasons to the modern ones. And some of the temporary new characters can be shown in the CGI and cartoon episodes.

The Thomas and Friends character models were so spectacular, even with the thudding clacks from the train car wheels and the loud thundering chugs from the engine characters themselves. I would like for those models to be copied for everywhere so we can play with them; the same can go for the tracks and the train cars.

I bless the show delights all train fans, besides bring the Reverend W. Awdry's stories to life with another resembler of Charles Dickens' 1843 novel A Christmas Carol; that's the CGI animated Thomas and Friends episode, Diesel's Ghostly Christmas.

Did anyone ever work out for certain what became of the models and the sets? Did anything survive?

Ngl I like how they made this cause I have been next to this place and they gave me Thomas when it was his last day

David Mitton filmed my childhood and Britt Allcroft helped craft it too. This show was so special with the models and the first 5 series. Truly was the golden age for the series. Honestly was the best part of my childhood watching Thomas and his friends.

:D

I like this

I just pray that someone who cares buys the rights from Mattel and goes back to filming with live action models again. Imagine how it would look filmed in 4K and modern tech, particularly with facial expressions. Maybe with some allowance of CG post production elements but still be 99% models and practical effects. One can dream.

Omg may God have mercy on you diseal

Epic Diesel Fail posted by Toby

They dont make em like this anymore nowadays its all cgi

Even seeing the B.T.S. Footage of Diesel's clay truck incident, I can Still hear the "Falling Down the Stairs" type Cue that Mike and Junior put over top of that scene. I can only imagine how that same crew member probably laughed even Harder hearing and seeing the final cut.

0:06-0:10 What about Thomas' sister show Tugs?

They made so much money just by playing with some toy trains

Yo 5:30 I got indirectly mentioned. Awesome video man great crashes. Glad you got to go to some awesome meetups.

Such care and attention to detail in the pre-digital era. Beautiful to see that they actually built a layout of Sodor to film the series. Nowadays it's all done behind a computer screen with nary a model train. As a father of a two-year-old who likes Thomas (and my own model train layout), I might get him some Thomas trains and make a small layout like this in the future. Seeing what these guys did to film the series certainly gives me inspiration.

Is Britt Allcroft From Thomas & Friends Is Going To Died Now 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Me: (After the video) Diesel 10 was a scrapheap, but the steam engine were still right on track, and bang on time.

Do it with Alec Baldwin

And to think the show replaced this for lame ass CGI. I feel bad for kids today.

That's so cool

The Americans wanted some changes. Uh oh...

Well done Britt Allcroft and David Mitton.

Thomas and Friends: No Time to Diesel

DID YOU KNOW!!!!! If it was scaled to life size, a human would be bigger than a blue whale and the leingth of a boeing 767. I realy live model sets.

So Americans already had issues with the show, typical
