I have been looking all over for our videos and pics from years ago when we went to Thomas Big Day Out. Have yet to find it, but I have been finding other goodies like these pics from our old Thomas the Tank Engine Collection. Blue Track Tomy Trains!
Showing all of our collection of wooden train Percy the Small Engine. Most came from Leokimvideo. Love the sound effects as well as the motorized unit. The motorized Percy does not perform well on the tight curves. But this stuff is a lot of fun. I can see why kids would like it!
A-Team train is working fine despite be 30 years old. We will be applying the stickers and combining it with the A-Team Slot Cars.
The Bachmann Sound Value locomotive was missing parts. The store I bought it from (Bargain Hunt) said I could contact the manufacture and they would send the replacement parts or a new item. I didn’t feel like dealing with the hassle. If it had been a road name that I really like I might have done that.
These sets are so much fun to watch. I was working a way to combine not just THomas Big Loader and Thomas Big Big Loader, but also the Mail Delivery Big Loader. I know how to attach it, I just to get the right transition tracks. Will look for some on eBay. The we will make Thomas’ Big Big Big Big Loader and Mail Delivery!
So as usual, I start out with small items on my giveaways. I know that probably does not attract as many people to the giveaway, but it is still disappointing. Free is free. Only 7 people have entered the giveaway. The concern I have is if I do something bigger, there will still not be much participation. This is why some of us just end up giving stuff or trading to people we already know well. The Leokimvideo giveaway that I won was an awesome prize and yet even he did not get much participation despite have over 600k subscribers and 100k views on the giveaway.
If you have any ideas of how I may present these better in order to get more participation please let me know. I do not know if anybody is actually reading this, which might be another problem Oh well, i got to start somewhere.
Have had problems with both of my Liionel Thomas the Tank Engine sets. Have to use standard batteries and not rechargeable in the remote and one remote doesn’t work at all. Upon doing research it appears that there is a manufacturing defect with the remotes. Ththat itey tend to have a continuity problem between the batteries and the brains of the remote. I’m about to test it out in a 3rd that picked up at Bargsin Hunt. It appears that it is a returned item and I’m guessing it was returned because it did not work. I even. I actually forgot about a 3rd one that I exchanged at Tuesday Morning. I guy at the store opened I fresh pack of batteries to test it and sure enough he pile not get it to work either!
So we will try it again!
So this is my most popular video to date. Percy is my favorite Thomas & Friends Character and we have more. Plus more on the way after winning the Leokimvideo Percy Giveaway:
The Thomas & Friends collection has become my most popular videos on my Train Tsar Fun channel. I have been searching for the best deals on the Bachmann HO Scale items. Actually found this set with Harold and Sir Tophamm Hatt on clearance at Hobby Lobby so I got it even though I had the smaller version of this set already. I didn’t have the best location for filming at the time of this video. Things have gotten better around here. So look for more Thomas & Friends HO Scale videos with reviews and play – and accidents!
Amazon is a good source for Thomas & Friends:
Bachmann Trains Thomas with Annie and Clarabel Ready-to-Run HO Scale Train Set
I have all the monorail sets made not counting the accessories like extra bogies. There were 3 sets – Futuron Monorail, Unitron Monorail, and Airport Monorail plus 2 add on track packs. This stuff is still in high demand by AFOLs and we wish they would make it again – though it does make those of us that have it have a very valuable collection! It was underproduced but perhaps it didn’t sell well back in the day.
