in the scene where edward brings thumper, edward replaced oliver

Maybe if Oliver was kept as a character in this set, the road pieces could have been switched with track so that Oliver can ride along and Rusty could go through the other larger loop of track.

Many argue that after season 5 the Thomas episodes started to go downhill. Maybe I pick off after season 12. But the magic and charm or Rusty & The Boulder is never seen in todays twisted Thomas empire, Sodor drift has sadly seen Thomas lose his story telling focus.

Please, keep doing more of these. They are a pleasure to watch.

Nice review and I do agree with you that Butch should've replaced Oliver in the set, however I would go a few steps further to really make the set look more like the actual episode. For starters I would put in a shocked Skarloey and a shocked Rheneas because those two characters appeared in the episode, and they are the same gage as Rusty. Second of all, after boulder mountain and before the crossing, there should be a siding so Rusty can avoid Boulder. Third of all, another siding should be added off of the main line, with some bumpy track similar to the James and the trouble with trees track, but instead of a falling tree and a falling sign, it's a collapsing water tower. The fourth thing to do would be to replace the arched stone bridge with an actual viaduct. The fifth thing I would do is put in a three way switch on the third corner. The left line would be a siding that ends in a ramp so Rheneas can crash of the line and avoid Boulder, the middle line would lead to a collapsing shed, and the right track would go back to the quarry. The sixth thing to do would be to give Rusty a nervous face, because being around Boulder makes him nervous. The seventh thing I would do is for the road section, a road switch that goes past Rusty's siding and ends at the quarry with a road to surface ramp. The final things I would add are 2 white cargo cars with troublesome truck faces to represent slate cars, 3 rock pieces, 2 of Lorry's flatbeds with cargo pieces, Lorry 2, 2 crew members, 4 quarry workers, and Boulder's new hill so the wind could carry his sighs to the place where he once stood, proud and silent.

Instead of Oliver, I'd have chosen Percy, as a shed he's nearby gets crushed.

Maybe oliver is in this set because his theme sounds a lot like the indiana Jones theme and rusty and the boulder is very similar to raiders of the lost ark (because of the boulder) Maybe Oliver's inclusion is a little nod to indiana Jones so really they should keep oliver in and see how many people notice

Another set of my childhood. The Boulder Mountain set, and most of the pieces I think I still have in storage. The set was a gift for my 9th birthday, and it soon became part of my greater wooden railway collection.

I'm loving your reviews of these nostalgic wooden railway sets. I look forward to your next one.

Amazing video! At the beginning my sound was muted and I unmuted it a second later and heard “muffle mountain” I was confused

I was watching and thinking, why not include Butch instead of Oliver in this set, but then you stated that and I was like, great minds think alike. LOL. Thanks for sharing. Love your episodes and reviews. Cheers from the Meridian & Southern RR

I actually did have this full set at one point, but now I only have the mountain, rusty, maybe Oliver, crossroad, and the house track.

This is incredible, a boulder set!!! Keep up the good work!

Nice review! Merry Christmas to everyone!

Butch fits real good on that set than Oliver

I really like the set and the review! I agree!

I have the Boulder Adventure Expansion Pack.

I love your thomas wooden railway reviews. I hope you do much more

i found this set on Amazon for over $7,000 bucks! :o

You should make an episode where Thomas becomes a Thomas Wood item and infects the other engines. Then have the remaining engines try to stop the plague

I love this set

0:25 0:29 0:50 0:54 Love the Boulder mountain destination after the deluxe roundhouse (and turntable), special engine shed, works engine repair shed, useful engine shed and before the Sodor scrub and shine, Sodor bay bridge, super cruiser and gantry crane.

I think Percy would be a nice addition because unlike Oliver, he actually appeared in the episode. He is very recognizable among children and a main character in the show.

I had this set as a kid, good times.

This Is Awesome Great Job

I remember having this and I loved that episode

As usual, fantastic review! I agree completely with you, while there are several flaws, such as Oliver's rather strange inclusion as well as the pretty useless road tracks and it's very small size, it's nonetheless a great set, something that you can have fun with for hours. Your improvements are perfect, the inclusion of Butch as well as another character that appeared such as Percy, Skarloey, or Rheneas could improve this a lot. That being said, it's still a really great set, and I personally really want this set, and I'm getting it as soon as I find a cheap offer for it. Anyways, another fantastic review, and Merry Christmas!

Cool Wooden railway review keekre

I always loved this set. Unfortunately, my "breakaway building" lost it's track male end connector, as did many of my pieces with that tip from the era like my "water tower" and "stop and go house". I did and do love this set though and I do remember thinking Thumper was useless on the roadway due to his treads. Another good piece I liked to pair the boulder mountain piece with is the later released "Runaway Boulder Expansion Pack", I think it's called that, as the builder travels farther and it was fun to have two boulders. I enjoy this set though nonetheless. -Thomas Blue

The set's box included an advertisement about the video "Spills & Chills & Other Thomas Thrills" on DVD and video. In addition, I used to have this set when I was little, and I don't know what happened to the 3 Character Cards that were included: Rusty with the Construction Cars, Oliver, and Thumper.

Always wanted this set

I just watch Shed 17....... I will never look at this channel ever again unless I go through allot of mental and physical therapy

I do not know why they added Oliver in this set. He was never seen in that episode. The engines that were featured in that episode were rusty, Thomas, skarloey, rhieneas, and Percy.

They should have added Thomas, rhieneas, skarloey, or Percy in this set as the second engine instead of Oliver.

I frickin luv Rusty & The Boulder

Thumper gets boulder TRIGGERED

This set needs to be about twice as big as it is, and should come with Butch and Rheneas instead of Oliver.

My thought about what to change with the set is that instead of Oliver, use Percy or Edward with a flatcar and breakdown crane as he is seen in the episode, bringing Thumper to the Quarry. I also agree with adding Butch as although he is a cameo character, his presence in the layout is needed to clean up the mess. I also think that instead of adding a roadway, replace it with another loop of railroad track for the standard gauge engines. With these ideas, anyone can recreate the episode as well as many of their favorite scenes.

Great Review. You're insight is spot-on, again!

This set needs more characters: Skarloey, Rheneas, Thomas, Percy and Edward. And the fat controller himself. And the viaduct bridge, and the engine sheds and the water tower.

There was a set that came put arojnf the same time called the mountain overpass set. It has butch in it. Interestingly it also featured a mountain and the level crossing piece as well. It was kinda random as the only charecters it had were butch and percy. Maybe it was supposed to be a part two to this set.

My mom promise that I'll get the set on my birthday but I never got the set 😢

I loved this set when I was a kid but taking another look at it, like you said it is a little bland. It did get me some characters that I didn’t have but I think another road vehicle was definitely needed! Excited to see your next discussion. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Great review keekre

Oliver was not selling so they where going to add Oliver instead of percy

Nice!

I always tried to get the Boulder Mountain set when I was you, but now that I look at it, I think the only best thing to get from the set is the mountain, Thumper and Boulder. (I've already got Rusty and Oliver)

I don’t have the set, but I have Boulder mtn.

Will you review destinations? Such as the repair and go station. (One of the parts for the steam works)

Great job:)

I have this set!

I think this set should've included some slopes like the Winter mountain set released a few years back.

Merry Christmas

Personally I would've replaced Oliver with Percy for obvious reasons.

If you think about it, the track COULD be dual guage... possibly.

Awesome Rev

Merry Christmas Eve!

Another great review! I have the mountain (not the set), and though it's really cool, I have a lot of trouble getting it to fit in to my layouts. (Although the Sawmill and Dumping Depot is a lot tougher! xD )

I have that set. I think the reason they put Oliver in that set because he was later redesigned and released as a LTM Train

I always wanted this set

I think it would have been cool if learning curve had made a big narrow gauge set with boulder mountain in it. Like the 100 piece set .

I Think this is a Pretty Good Set!

I personally like this set

Im getting this for my birthday and its in a few days

I wonder if there can be an episode about Boulder mountain, Boulder, Rusty Thomas, Oliver, The Narrow Gauge engines, James, Rosie, Percy, S.C.Ruffy and a few other character's in it plus two songs?

I think Edward would be a great match where is brings thumper but he has his own set with Spencer in later years....

I have every piece of this set including the instructions but, no Oliver 😞😞😞😞

I remember when I was little they sell the set at Marshall’s

Nice One Keekre Keep Up The Good Work

The set should've included Butch, Edward, Thomas, Skarloey, Rheneas, and Percy

Love it

I wanted this so bad as a kid!

Yeah, Butch would have been more appropriate.

Oliver is still on Thomas and friends. He has appeared on a few episodes of the the new cgi series of Thomas and friends

Awsome reviw

Can You Do The Happy Birthday Mr Percival Set

First turtlesandthomas then MrMPS and Thomas wooden railway I found a combo

I know this sounds crazy but what if when Edward brought thumper Oliver was meant to or he was originally going to be in the shed where Percy was

do a review of the gold mountain mine sets

No. 1 Thomas

Why is there one dislike? I guess it is possible that some delusional person who thought that Oliver's inclusion was a GOOD idea.

Merry christmas twr!

1 this set is my bucket list because of how cool it looked rusty and the boulder was one of my favorite episodes and the episode was based off Indiana Jones 1 and it’s one of my favorite movies 🍿 even though it’s not really much I really want that set

They should've used Percy instead of Oliver

I would thought they would but Edward in the set or Thomas Percy Rheneas or Skarloey

Today I saw the mountain at the train show

In my opinion i Will replace Oliver with Edward and a flatbed because Edward has take thumper on a flatbed in the episode

I was thinking of the same idea of including butch rater than oliver

insted of Oliver they should incloud skarloey

Story wise I feel like we deserve a prequel n sequel to boulders story

please do magic railroad 100 piece set.

I would have included Percy bc he actually appeared in the episode.

Not Oliver Is Gwr studios

I’d like rheneas because of how he’s in the episode and it’s a good deal to have 2 narrow gauge engines

YOUR THE BEST!

i also want to say terance was in that episode aswell just for a few seconds in a sceen but im to lazy to tell wich scene it was in

Cool

Amzing

Senario: You lost your Donald and Douglas models and somehow there was no way to get anymore. Suddenly, Mattel releases Thomas Wood Donald and Douglas. All you have to do to make them look like the ones in the show is to paint over the naked parts with black. Would you get these?

They should have added skarloey or rhenase instead of Oliver since they were part of the episode and maybe they could have added butch since he was seen at the mountain
