This is a brand new Thomas! He has metallic blue paint and decorative scheme. A beautiful and FAST locomotive. We may have to do another Great Train Race!
We are still looking for the rest of the DC Super Friends minis. Nobody in our area has anything beyond #1-60 plus the expansion or multi packs. We will keep looking
The latest track master set with special design. Plus we show some of the rest of our collection including model trains!
Don’t forget about our giveaway that ends in a few days:
We are doing a giveaway. One winner will win the following 4 trackmaster locomotives: Percy, James, Gordon, Diesel. Link is here:
Found 2 more gondolas I previously did not know about. Realizing that there is more Bachmann stuff out there than I got from a list. Also found a YouTuber that found the Gordon Express Set:
I need to find that one now!
Now looking for N Scale version of Thomas with Annie & Claribel as well as TrackMaster and any other motorized versions.
So Thomas has won this round of the Great Race and is champion – for now. I honestly thing both Gordon and Henry are the real fastest. I did not realize it until later but the transformers made by Bachmann are acting very inconsistent. Sometimes the engines would not even move! I am going to make a more reliable and fair course. But who wouldn’t be happy that Thomas won!
I did not address it in the video, but we have run into a problem electrically with the Great Race. Gordon and Thomas will be the final 2, but in reality, Henry should have beat Thomas. After experimenting a bit after the race, I found that I had a defective outlet on my power strip. This in turn affected the transformers. So now some do not perform the same even when moved to a good outlet. In fact, at one point it would not even move a locomotive and then would shut off – like there is some kind of short. I did another test and Henry blew past Thomas, but if I switched it, I could get Thomas to beat Henry. The first several races were fine – it only start in Round 3.
I do not think I will address this on YouTube because it might bore the kids. But if anybody thinks I should please let me know. Thanks.
We just got the James the Red Engine G Scale or Large Scale train set made by Lionel from 1994! It is a really neat set. From the “Shining Time Station” era of Thomas & Friends. Has moving eyes and swappable faces. Despite its age it performed great! This is our second Large Scale train. The first was made by Bachmann:
Will have to get them out together to compare.
