We have all of the Thomas & Friends characters now (although there is another Thomas) and would like to race them. So we will work on the match-ups. Please comment on the video if there are any match-ups you would like to see. I am thinking of using a 20 team single elimination bracket like this:
.
Getting some more Hornby models. It is very difficult for me to find these at a reasonable price here in the USA. Actually found these on Amazon. Hoping to get some more passenger coaches, but so far the best prices I can find are close to $35 per car. Overseas shipping is the main problem. But nice to get some variety from Hornby to go with the Bachmann HO scale freight & passenger cars we have.
Been wanting to do this for a while. Love this crossing with the double mainlines intersecting. Perfect for accidents! Lol.
This began as a review of the Sodor Paint Shop and Steamworks Repair Shed from Fisher Price (Take N Play). Put when we realized we needed more track to effectively combine the two, we ended up with the Bridge Pack. Which naturally led to the Shark Exhibit. By the end Yoda was in the mix. But I decided to save the bulk of Yoda’s scenes for the next video!
I am working on a playlist for my friend AFOL Man. He has a couple of train crash videos. I am adding intros as part of a leanback. Still working on it. This is a sneak peak.
We just added our latest addition to our Thomas & Friends HO Scale locomotive collection. We got Iron Bert. He was cheaper than Iron ‘Arry, so we didn’t get that one yet, but will soon. The Diesels do not perform as well as the Steamies on our track. I like the look, but these have been the worst performing Bachmann locomotives (engines) yet. Only a few more to get!
We got our latest Bachmann Thomas & Friends locomotive – Diesel. This is item #58802. It seems to be the poorest performing model we have from Bachmann. Still looks cool though. In the video, if you have good eyes, you get a sneak peek at the next edition to our collection!
Had a contest between the 3 largest of the Thomas & Friends locomotives on my railroad: Spencer, Gordon, and Henry. Each had to pull all of the Sodor freight and passenger cars around the entire layout in the best time. Watch to see who wins.
These world strongest engine contests do take their tolls on the locomotives. We are working on another speed competition that will take place on a test track instead of the Sodor layout. Stay tuned!
This is a first for our HO Scale purchases of Bachmann Thomas & Friends products: Duck’s face was not attached inside the package. We were able to reattach it and the moving eyes work fine now, but not before a couple of funny cross-eyed moments!
The Bahcmann Duck looks great! It was one that many had asked me to get for a while now and after getting it I can understand why so many people like Duck. It is a great model and a neat looking character.
We are getting closer to having the complete Bachmann lineup. Still need Diesel, Donald, Douglas, Oliver,Iron Arry, Iron Bert, Celebration Thomas and Skarloey. Of course, 3 of these have not even been officially released here, but have been announced. We also need to get the rest of the rail cars. Thanks for watching our videos!
