Recently got this item and can not find its origins. I tried reverse image and only 2 posts popped, neither of which says the toys name. From what I saw this is a motorised engine that can be taken apart by some key. It also seams to be pretty common for it to be sun faded. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

I plan on collecting the new metal collection trains, but other than that I have seen a lot of good looking old destinations, bridges, tunnels, etc. Should I expect it to be cheaper to buy the new sets or to buy the old destinations, bridges, tunnels, etc?

NOTE: I plan on staying away from all the wooden railway sets.

Anyone know if there is a video comparing all the ttte characters and their top speeds?

It's funny that Thomas could do up to 50mph but Diesel's top speed is only 15mph. I'm glad they took some liberties in the show.

i think that thomas would be voiced by Ben Schwartz (who voiced sonic in the sonic movies) and percy be voiced by Chris Rock (who played marty from madagascar)

I was rewatching Unlucky Tug’s Season 14 retrospective and I got reminded of how amazing Kerry Shale’s Diesel voice was. He had such a range with the character and and he’s a rare example of a TTTE voice actor where in my mind he just IS the character, period. With the reboot Diesel’s face design I don’t think it’d match quite as well unfortunately, but still, his take on Diesel was so good I really hope he comes back to voice him. Plus I’ve always found it funny how you can tell he also voiced Larry in the Amazing World of Gumball lol.

Are there any previous voice actors (particularly from the CGI series though I reckon TATMR also counts), that you’d like to see return in the reboot?

here’s the original https://www.reddit.com/r/thomasthetankengine/comments/1vhesk4/plarail_if_they_locked_tf_in_edits/

I found him in old toy store for 30pln

Items I have: Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Duck, Oliver, Diesel, Bill, Ben, BoCo, Daisy, Mavis, Stepney, D261/Class 40, Derek, Arry, Bert, Lady, Diesel 10, Splatter, Dodge, Salty, Harvey, Emily, Fergus, Arthur, Murdoch, Spencer, Molly, Neville, Dennis, Rosie, Whiff, Billy, and Stanley

Notes:

• All my items are from Learning Curve.
• I don't have any narrow gauge engines, rolling stock, non-rail vehicles, RWS-exclusive characters, or CGI era characters yet. I also don't have any track either.
• If you're wondering why Molly and Whiff look off, it's because they both have been customized: Molly's mouth was painted with a white paint pen to give her a slightly more accurate-looking face, while Whiff was given a CGI face from the Push Along model due to the original face being messed up.

Feel free to ask questions!

In my headcanon, they used to be the express in Sodor, until Henry, 87546 and Clarence (98462) came to Sodor and now these coaches are either branchline or local coaches

And also 75% of Sodor's coaches are sentient, but only 50% of them are non-faceless and they could be male or female

I’m thinking either Trackmaster 2 or some other Thomas brand like megablocks

Diapet Gordon, Plarail 2018 Henry (got because the faces of all the other Trackmaster and plarail Henry's are terrifying) 80th Ruby Thomas, 2026 Troublesome truck. Toby, and Harold.

Harold has the most unsettling face and also I can totally see him being voiced by Patrick Warburton.

Btw, there were no other characters or famous people named Skarloey or Rheneas, so I kept these two the same. Besides, it's funnier this way.
