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
This is a review from my BrickTsar LEGO channel. Eventually I will be doing videos of ALL my trains on my TrainTsarFun channel, but I would like them to have a different format – perhaps more about play and silliness. This is a very strange train set. It is called Cargo Railway, but it has passengers and cargo on the same rail cars. Very odd, but then it is designed for kids and not adult collectors.
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.
We recreated the Thomas the Tank Engine appearance in the Ant-Man Movie and talked (for fun) about what went wrong. Movie is very funny and entertaining.
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.
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:
