I had a great call with
@MikeODonnell5
just now.
Out of curiosity, would you like to watch a reaction livestream of Mike watching The Adventure Begins movie for the first time?
Retweet if you would watch!
Britt Allcroft has previously said that any child should be able to access Thomas regardless of financial status. I agree. I don't think it should cost hundreds of dollars to read the complete RWS. So here is all of Christopher's books for you to enjoy!
1) We've reached the end of our journey.
Today my last scheduled remake video was released. There won't be any new content on my channel for the foreseeable future.
I'm very grateful for everything my channel has been able to achieve these past few years despite limitations.
Excited to share that I'm now the proud owner of this screen-used workman prop!
Made during the production of season 3. He's first-hand witnessed a few memorable moments on Sodor:
I've noticed an uptick in people asking me, "Where did you go?", "It's been over a year since your last video!", Etc, etc, etc. So I figured I'd give you a little update:
What's a Thomas item(s) you've received for Christmas that's particularly meaningful to you?
For me, I'll never forget the joy of getting all of these Tomica engines at once. I was 3 and felt like I had all of Sodor at my disposal with these engines and wagons. Pure bliss.
Stumbled upon these lionel wooden railway equivalent tracks. Really like the look of them! Much more than TM2.
Makes me curious, for WR/Plarail/TM users: If a good looking, wide variety track system was available at a reasonable price, would you be interested?
My biggest regret from this past year is not allowing myself to escape to Sodor more often (Figuratively obviously).
I've been drained so many times this last year that I haven't let myself slip away into creativity and I realize just how much I need that.
This is quite peculiar. Prince Harry and The Royal Engine causes Britt Allcroft to speak out against the current show.
Wasn't expecting it, but considering what's been done to the brand over the past few years I think she has every right to speak her mind on the matter.
I passionately hate this marketing strategy.
Not because of the idea (which is a great one and is what they should've been doing forever ago) but the execution is so PAINFULLY bad. Nothing is genuine.
They're too lazy to source actual stories and images of real parents passing
I still think it's an absolute crime that this shot never made it into the final episode or any music videos.
Would LOVE to see a high-quality version someday...
Oh my God.
Are you on crack? Do you think Mattel gives a FLYING FUCK about the model series?
Imagine playing victim like those that came before you. You middle aged men make this preschool property like the gates of the FB I. You can't try to be less pathetic than you are.
Man, I really miss getting YouTube comments.
Those random notifications during the day, especially from old videos, always made me happy.
It's just been so long. I miss it 😕
Screw COPPA
Found a good use for those silly colorful "carts" that come with minis nowadays.
They're perfect to make the 3-plank quarry cars from the classic series!
Just received The Engine Themes Vol 4 CD in the mail today from
@MikeODonnell5
I definitely recommend getting all of them! So many great classic themes!
"If someday, you should see Thomas the Tank Engine puffing happily along the line, he may be on his way to a village nestled deep in the heart of the Island of Sodor..."
Least favorite YouTuber??
Even if it isn't "personal", every vote in this is just an insult to that particular content creator. "You're good, but just not as good as these other 8." Isn't something any content creator wants to hear.
We're bringing it back! This time, with YouTubers both new and old!
Vote your least favorite YouTuber of the ones present. They will be eliminated. The last one standing will win.
(Nothing Personal)
Retweet For Accuracy!
As content creation reaches new heights in the fandom, I hope young and new creators don't get discouraged.
There isn't a bar to pass for content creation. Not everything has to be an earth shattering masterpiece. Create what makes you happy. There's nothing wrong with starting
I know I'm a broken record at this point.
But honestly seeing garbage content like this makes thankful BWBA will forever be remembered as the overflowing dumpster fire that took a slightly declining brand into a straight nosedive.
Garbage content + Garbage toys = Garbage brand.
Look at this lovely professional public display of a prop by the official brand. Safe and sound and available for all to come see.
What's wrong with Drayton Manor doing this?

Alright guys, I need some help.
In a few weeks, I'm hosting a team party at my house with people from work. They have already talked about wanting to see the film studio. Which location or set should I have on display?
Most locations from S1-4 are free game.
My name is Jason Hadfield and I've become a bachmann narrow gauge addict. Please send help.
Side note: Do we know when the new vans are expected to be released?
Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady was my first Thomas episode. Being able to now recreate the consist with Bachmann is very satisfying 😌
Bachmann remake someday? 🤔
🎶I'm Peter Sam, I'm running this line. I'm Peter Sam, I'm running this line...🎶
Sorry but no hot takes will ever take away the awesome experience it was to watch this for the first time in 2015.
I think retelling classic stories was a strategy the brand didn't take advantage of enough.
Especially with how long the series had become, it was hard for the
Credit where credit is due. That new Drayton Manor layout looks like a massive improvement.
If I'm understanding this correctly?
-There's no direct sunlight shining down on the models.
-The models from the show are stationary on display.
-Only replicas move around
Checked myself into the ER this morning since I was having difficulty breathing and I'm living alone while Lynette is finishing her last semester of school.
Man, that covid swab test hurts!!! 😫
Hopefully I'll get discharged soon. They're checking for pneumonia rn.
Proof that YouTube is making this far more difficult than it needs to be.
The FTC didn't ask for this. The FTC doesn't care about this.
YouTube did this because they want people upset with the FTC until COPPA is changed.
Anticlimactic? I completely disagree.
I think the fact that Thomas canonically pulls 3 orange coaches, instead of just his iconic 2, is quite fascinating!
I really hope a shot of Thomas pulling all three eventually surfaces.
Going to be traveling a bit this week so I need some recommendations on content to watch.
Rather than downloading entire seasons, I'm going to download and watch individual episodes you recommend. It just needs to be from S1-5 or S17-21.
One recommendation per person please! 😊
Hey
@bachmanntrains
Your current red narrow gauge coaches are based on the CGI style (left). Since you're recoloring Rheneas yellow, any chance we could also get the classic red coach livery (right)?
I'm sure it would be a huge seller for narrow gauge fans!
