My Favourite Mistakes and Goofs in Thomas and Friends

- Thomas and Friends was a show with plenty of high-quality sets and props that captured the imagination of millions worldwide. It also had some noticeable mistakes and errors, otherwise known as goofs. In this video I go through my absolute favorite goofs from the classic era. This isn't a comprehensive list, just my favorite ones.

GWR Studios moved to a more automobile focused channel called Neo Auto
Oh! I didn't know that, I'll have to check it out.
And then stopped uploading on that channel to

I thought he was dead.
@@ManOfMeatBecauseMeatIsGoodI thought he was taking a break
As a kid, I had the VHS with “Look Out for the Train” and I was always so perplexed by it! I thought it was some weird remix or something 🤣
Had that tape also, you know it was the original one :)
Dude, mine had that goof too!!!!
Same, never knew where it came from.
I did, too.
I never had the VHS of the "look out for the train" so this was my first time hearing it in this video, and I'm american! Really I died at that part. 😂
"Daisy 10 isn't real, she can't hurt you."
She?
5:20
It almost sounds like the score stumbles a bit after “look out for the train”, as if even the music doesn’t believe what just happened.
Ok not gonna lie “Daisy 10” is actually pretty creepy 😅
lol, agreed
I think it’s a bit more than pretty creepy
It's not just creepy, it's cursed. Like one of those dark memes someone would post on a meme site.
the e-girl to her bf after s*x: im actually a MAN.
I always found the close-up footage in Season 1 where the engines' wheels are clearly spinning backwards to be endearing. I still don't know why they did those shots like that.
Maybe they filmed them with the intention of having them be used for shots of the engines reversing..then decided not to 🤔
The Thomas production continues to make you wonder!
Or when there's shot of Thomas moving, but it's a few seconds into the shot when his wheels start moving. Like, was he on a conveyor belt or something? Lol.
or maybe it was just planned to flip the footage, and they never did.@@giantfightingroboto
The interesting thing with the face-swaps at 3:53 and 4:06 is that they're from episodes where James and Percy (respectively) hadn't yet been introduced; presumably they thought they could get away with it! The others... not so much 😃
James' prop was probably used as a stand in for engines who were on temporary trials, because he appears in Edward and Gordon and Thomas and the Trucks (probably in other early episodes as well), which took place before his debut episode Thomas and the Breakdown Train. Henry's was likely a stand in as well for the first 2 episodes before being introduced in episode 3.
5:17 When you call him Dirty Percy
What you said about Autistic kids liking this show, I was definitely one of them. I used to get down to the level of the models and imagine I was watching an episode and reenacting what I had seen on VHS
I’ve always wanted to know the origins of “look out for the train” myself. I got the VHS a few years ago, and when I heard it, I couldn’t believe it. Several questions went through my mind. Who said it? How did it slip through? How did they not notice it? How did it happen? We need to know!
I think it happened by way of someone accidentally activating a mic while shouting the warning.
As for how it got through... Most likely, they didn't double-check the episodes when compiling that VHS. After all, they'd been fine when aired. It's notable that the gaffe is *only* in the version of the episode on _that_ tape.
In any case, I think it's far less egregious than the severe desync at the end of "Thomas and Percy's 'Mountain' Adventure"
4:50 when i was young and green -
5:20 Wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyway...🚫😴
I really wanna see Alicia Botti getting to scream at Daisy 10 instead of a mouse.
P.S Percy with Gordon's upset face is epic! XD
I thought they were full sized as a kid as well so you aren't alone.
I'm so glad this was the video you made, very well done ☺️🚂🚃
I have a theory on what might be the origin of the "look out for the train" goof.
So when they were re-editing the audio for the episodes for the original US release (since Ringo Starr had to redo some lines in the episodes with "Americanized" terminology), the person in charge must have made an error while doing so and left a gap in the original filmed footage of the final shot used in Thomas and The Trucks (or Trouble for Thomas for the US title). Anyway, to get to who I think the person who said "look out for the train" might be, it's most likely one of the crew members from the original series (maybe one of the other crew members was getting too close on the set near Thomas, so someone else said "look out for the train").
I'm always a fan of the random hand that appears in season 1, but the Gordon face swap onto Henry's body is the peak of mistakes. It's the most noticeable mistake for me, was caught off guard by it when I rewatched that episode
5:09 When Rusty has had enough of Duncan's nonsense.
I remember these Goofs Especially the LOOK OUT FOR THE TRAIN Goof
I never saw that they used legos! What an interesting idea instead of using a custom stand.
As an Australian, I grew up without the "Look out for the train." This is the first I've heard of it. I think the line would have made sense if there were human characters propped up near the rails.
I have that very tape, the first-run "Thomas Gets Tricked" (the US name for "Thomas and Gordon") VHS. I suspect someone was in danger of bumping a train model at some point during either a recording take for the dub or at some point during editing... and whoever shouted the warning accidentally leaned on or bumped a mic switch while doing so.
And then when the print for the "Thomas Gets Tricked" VHS was assembled, either the accidental mic use happened here or somebody used a reject reel by mistake. And nobody double-checked the individual episodes on the tape because they'd been fine when originally assembled for Shining Time Station.
On the subject of US dub errors, it's hard to overlook the desync in most (or maybe all?) releases of "Thomas and Percy's 'Mountain' Adventure"
One error no one talks about is in Thomas and the trucks. He leaves with 3 box vans but then loses one, and then goes through Henry's Tunnel and gains the bigger van.
Considering the original studio for season 1 is only a tiny garage, they must have endured much stress trying to film each set and just skipped redos
Continuity errors definitely happen but I don't really find them as entertaining or interesting as some other ones
All true but it's one kid me has never forgotten
Thomas looks super cute with Percy's tired face but... I was always thinking why they made such a big goof with the main character? :D
look out for the train
Of all of the custom face swaps you made, I think the one that shows Daisy with Diesel's face looked the most cursed.
That was horrifying.
Goofs videos are my favorite: GWR studios was my lifeline of reminiscing this series; and with the influx of new members I truly remember what made these seasons of TtTE so special to me as a kid, and to me as of now.
"Well done, Percy. You started so quickly that you prevented a nasty accident". It sounds logical at first, until you realize Percy hadn't moved
I actually had that version of the vhs where someone says "look out for the train" and thought it was weird even as a kid
Diesel 10 in makeup jumpscare
I guess I should’ve looked out for the train
Gordon's face mask actually doesn't look too bad on other engines, even the Percy one.
I grew up with the UK dub, so I didn't know about the Thomas and the Trucks goof until a few years ago. ever since I can't help but laugh at "look out for the train" every time I hear it or even see that sentence in writing. I don't know how this could of happened but it's funny af
I wasn't expecting to hear Miror B's XD theme here.
Thing is the eyebrows thing show which scenes were filmed in production order. They shoot everything on one set then dismantle it and build another. For example the earliest scenes were filmed at the works. That's why Edward is missing eyebrows in that one scene.
Also "look out for the train" might be a dubbing error on Strand Home Video's part, as the voice is american. What I think may have happened was they recorded the SHV master tape over some obscure train program.
...also did we need 2 full minutes of Daisy 10 staring at us silently
It's good to have explanations for things like that. Even if it's not concrete evidence, it's something at least!
...and yes, I thought it would be good to end it on something nightmarish 😂 if you forgot Daisel 10 was a thing half way through the video then it's good to have a remjnder!
It's funny because I owned an American VHS copy of "Thomas Gets Tricked" the first video in America to feature the first 7 episodes adapted from the first two books of the Railway series and for some reason that goof wasn't found in my version of "Trouble for Thomas". If anything in that same shot I was mildly confused as to why Thomas looks tired and out of breath when he's supposedly still having fun as it's before the trucks push him down the hill but I guess it's because he was going up Gordon's hill that he felt naturally tired or puffed out for a minute and then recovers. But it's also because I associated that face when he feels exhausted in his first episode "Thomas and Gordon" after getting one-upped and humiliated.
5:19 Daisel 10 the abonomic engine
my favourite is in the first episode where you can see the edge of the set in a wide shot. it is a bit jarring and made me go 'hey wait these ARE models' but it was actually really cool to have my immersion broken because... these are models! and they're really well made! I'd also wager that maybe in the case of thomas' and percy's faces being swapped, they may have decided that the expression was more appropriate? idk.
GWR Studios is an great example. Because he is the one that made TTTE goof videos a long time ago. The weird thing is that he left his channel for unexpected reasons or that he simply forgot that his GWR Studios channel even existed. But then I found out that he has a second channel called Neo Auto that you can search up on CZcams. I didn't know this before like honestly. Until figuring it out right now. I think I found out that he had a second channel maybe 4-5 months ago. I'm not quite sure thought, But for the most part yeah.
Its a good thing he is still alive to this day, Uploading car videos and explaining some stuff about them. Because I thought he abandoned his first channel years ago and didn't come back. ''I think that his first youtube channel was GWR Studios, I'm not quite sure but yeah''. But anyways thank god he is still alive and doing great, Anyways keep up the good work, GiantFightingRobot! I am starting to enjoy you're channel alot. Its actually my first time seeing you on CZcams!
One noticeable goof from season 1 is the incorrect use of Henry's two shapes in a few of the episodes.
I noticed those too
It’s weird that Henry’s Special Coal uses a shot of him rounding a bend in his old shape and later on in Whistles And Sneezes, they filmed the same shot but swapped his branch line dark green coaches for express coaches meaning they can spot some times of reshooting on a set for multiple episodes.
Yet somehow they mixed up a closeup of him in his old shape puffing to the left in The Flying Kipper once he crosses the viaduct
The "look out for the train" has me laughing so hard i'm wheezing holy crap that's funny xD
Bro single handedly gave people new characters idea
Daysel 10 fanfics incoming
To explain Edwards face, 1st of all him and James are mid-tender engines, so their bodies are basically the same minus the wheel sets, also Edward never really had a crying face.
I think perhaps the best goof from the series is the wrong whistle goof, such as trouble in the shed where Edward is clearly using Thomas’s whistle, or the majority of season 4 and 5
Daisy 10 thanks didn't need to sleep tonight
The primal memories you have unlocked by that clip of Rowdy Rumble from KH2 lol
Kingdom Hearts OST is legitimately godlike and Rowdy Rumble is one of my favourites. It's so playful and silly sounding but with a hint of darkness hahah
@@giantfightingroboto Yoko Shimomora, ladies and gents. Also it took me a bit but I'm 90% sure the first clip was Mirror B's theme from one of the Gamecube Pokémon games.
@@s.p.d.magentaranger1822you're right, it's his theme from Pokémon XD Gals of Darkness. The second track is from Pokémon too!
@@giantfightingrobotoNice. Pokémon OST rocks.
glad to see you caught your mistake in that video
Oh yes, plenty of people pointed it out hahaha
When I was a kid, I thought the models were giant. Didn't think that they were using a periscope lens to give that illusion lol.
It's funny, for the longest time, I thought just the opposite. I thought they were tinny HO models. Only decades later would I come to learn that they were acutely large gauge 1 models running on massive sets.
@@GearHeadedHamster Oh lol that's hilarious.
@@GothRailfan Too be fare, I owned allot of models in HO as a kid, so I was biased towards that scale. And credit to the show, they do a good job at hiding what scale the models truly are.
@@GearHeadedHamster Yea, but I had O gauge and G scale (battery powered steam engines) as a kid. But I guess when I was a kid, I thought they were some custom giant scale specifically for those models lol. Until years later, I looked up the scale and it was 1:32, or gauge 1 on 45 mm track. Which is just a bit smaller than G scale which is around 1:22 also on 45 mm track, but G scale more or less represents narrow gauge. Sure gauge 3 is around the same size at 1:22, but gauge 3 runs on 63 mm track. The Jack scale props of Thomas and Percy though are bigger at 1:16 scale running on 89 mm track.
@@GothRailfan Yah, and that's not to mention the narrow gauge engines. Which were originally gauge 1 scale running on o gauge track, but latter scaled up run of gauge 1 track.
On the flip side, you have the human and engine close up scale. That was much bigger and more detailed.
Just goes to show how they played with size and scale to get the job done.
When I was a child 3-5 (2006-2008) i genuinly thought they were real cos I would watch all the early seasons on VHS
I find it so funny when their eyes are in two different places ahahha
Bruh when you made fan made face changing goofs it made me laugh so hard
Daisy 10 Stings!
Im from uk so didnt see the look out for the train blooper ive know about it a while for now tho, used to go to video shop every week to rent thomas tapes happy days
I didn't know about the look out for the train until I watched gwr studios
3:33
autistic here, and this entire section is true.
Does anyone else think it’s funny that he’s willing to go deep into the lore for a five second clip that says “look out for the train” but not for how the mistakes even happen? I think it’s kinda weird.
Yes
There's a funny goof in CGI Thomas that I can never unsee. If you look at Gordon's pistons, they are D shaped. Like some one sliced them in half.
Look out for the Tren
Usefulness before ‘clen’liness
I love the fact you use the Mirror B theme from Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness
Both Colosseum and XD had awesome music
In rusty anf the boulder in the up close Rheneas shot, you can see a camera stick on his buffer beam. i just noticed recently
5:03 Dience/Teresel, Thovor/Tremas, Diesty/Russel, Thock/Dumas, Gorcy/Perdon, and D A I S Y 1 0
Look out for the train!
4:42
ONCE I WAS YOUNG AND GREEN
Huh I'm surprised you didn't point out the van incident from Thomas and the trucks
5:17 actually that looks more like a character i would know of in the movie "The Little Western"
I too thought they where real
It was Ringo Starr that said Look out for the train, going by other videos like this done
I don't think it sounds anything like him personally
Just subscribed to ya. ;)
At 4:41 HILARIOUS
deisel 10 in drag😭
I wonder if i should look out for the train
6:00 look out for the train
oh god Daisy why...
Over the part when Thomas comes round the corner and person saying (Look out for the train) to me that wasn't so much of a goof. Remember this was the very ever first season of Thomas. I generally think that somebody was just having a bit of fun on set. Also got to take into consideration that they fought Thomas probably wouldn't get as big as it did within the years to the 20 January 2021 when the show sadly ended. 1984 was a whacky time for kids shows even l would of done it 😂
Maybe it was someone having fun on set when it happened, but I can't imagine it was ever intended to be kept in the final product to be shipped out. The fact that it was only in one specific release just reinforces that to me
I thought the model was animated
nothing to do with this item exactly, but as you said these were model trains, not sure what scale they used, but as I believe model trains be it Märklin, Roco or Kato maybe even Hornby, these companies use the same base and then just add a body to it like an old fashioned coach builder attaching it to a chassis
does this mean there's out there a Thomas with a Eurostar shooting past
this would be funny or silly, which one it is I shall leave to those here in the comment section
no, not daisel 10..
Well that video was so goofy
The face swaps don’t just end on screen there’s some dvd and/or vhs tapes that have these face swaps on the cover I even remember seeing one that had CRANKY’S FACE ON DIESEL’S BODY
What on earth...that sounds bizarre!
I've seen that one too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I used to have a Thomas and Friends DVD but it wasn't working so I took it out of my PS4 and I throw it in my messy closet I come back it broke in three pieces😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s funny I actually don’t know what I thought about how the series filmed! (Real, models or.. idk)
Well at least until they lost their nice gloss finishes
😢😢😢😢😢 I miss gwr studio
5:04 did Diesel really wear Terence’s face?
iirc gwrstudios is fine, they just abandoned that channel in favour of a new one about cars
dont quote me on that though im not sure and i dont even know the name of the new channel
5:20 why why just why
Hopefully one day we’ll have an answer to the “look out for the train” goof. My guess is the company distributing the show in America were messing around with the audio and just left it in somehow.
My guess is that when making the VHS, either they used a reject take where someone accidentally activated their mic while shouting the warning, or the mic activation happened during editing of that tape.
Other releases of the original US dub of that episode (including the original broadcast as part of Shining Time Station, and home video releases thereof) are fine. Probably why nobody double-checked that specific release.
He’s neo auto❤
Hello there
Look out for th trsin
Useless fact in all of the traveling shots of the characters where their wheels are going backwards that's all intentional it's made to represent motion blur

#LookOutForTheTrain
What strikes me the most is that some of these goofs could have easily been avoided. Such as all the face mask goofs. It's like they forgot whose face masks were whose. Thomas and Percy have been seen with each others' face masks. Edward has been seen wearing James' face masks. And Henry has been seen wearing Gordon's face masks. The list goes on...
Honestly the only especially egregious one is Henry with Gordon's face.
Some of the masks for different characters can look really similar, so a mixup (or a call of "close enough" during editing, or grabbing a mask from the wrong character because the proper one is playing hide-and-seek) isn't _that_ unlikely. Especially when you consider the hustle and bustle of the shooting schedule.
@@ZeldaTheSwordsman Yeah, the only ones I noticed right off the bat were Edward wearing one of James' face masks. And Henry wearing one of Gordon's face masks.
Nonetheless, they could have had a better place to put the masks of each character to prevent them from getting mixed up. I wouldn't say that Henry with Gordon's face is that unusual. Since their models are exactly the same size.
Nobody:

Those face swaps you did were unbearable to watch
Muahaah that's good
