Here is the next of our videos about the DUPLO Thomas & Friends sets. This is Toby and was one of the smaller sets. Did come with 2 straight tracks, but not much to play with by itself. LEGO missed out with this series. Should have provided a motorized unit for the locos and there never was an Annie & Claribel. MEGA Bloks has the license now and I prefer LEGO
Having fun with the Take n Play Thomas & Friends Roaring Dino Run play set. Thomas rolls down from an avalanche and has to face T-Rex, Indominus Rex, Velociraptors, and more on the way to deliver the fossils. For a little tank engine he performed quite well
We picked up the newest Thomas the Tank Engine locomotive – the speed-activated sound Thomas. This video has our first test with it. I need to try it with the Bachmann transformer, as I feel it is missing a sound. I think it should have the steam exhaust sound when it comes to a stop (but maybe I am reading to much into the description).
It is almost identical in appearance to the previous version but it has a black from (fake) coupler (thanks to TrainBoy7 for noticing!)
It is currently available on Amazon for about $68 in the use. There is a link on the video. Thanks!
Comparing the Mega Bloks Percy the Small Engine to the LEGO Duplo version. The LEGO version is much larger and stockier. I still prefer LEGO over Mg=ega Bloks any day. Will be reviewing all the Thomas & Friends DUPLO sets on Train Tsar Fun soon.
We had a race with our various Thomas & Friends locomotives to see which is the fastest. See the video to find the winner. We will do another in the future as some of the locomotives don’t perform as well on the crossings and switch tracks. It was fun doing this and there were a couple of accidents.
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!
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.
