Thank yall so much for all the feedback and support! I actually wasn't aware of some of the ERTL and Trackmaster toys but that was mostly because I focused on TWR items when writing my script and this was on the back burner for quite sometime. Also hopefully as I come more comfortable with voice over work I won't have weird word problems 😅 Anyways cheers!!

What’s even weirder about Catherine is she’s seen climbing the hill in the left and load set without any engine so someone thought she was an engine alike daisy. So that’s funny.

This is why Wooden Railway was the best man, they did so many fun versions and obscure characters, the collecting fun never stopped

I’m pretty sure there was an Ertl flying Scotsman and years later there would be a Trackmaster revolution version of the character

I can listen to this all day! Amazing job man! Absolutely love the 2 Thomas videos you made!

I felt pain when you said “our first narrow gauge engine is Culdee” because Culdee is a different gauge due to the tracks that help him climb the mountain.

I think it’s a big misconception that people think rickety was a railway series character, but he’s always been a wooden railway creation. He’s not a railway series character, as he’s not mentioned in the books, let alone by name. The fact that a baby blue 8-plank wagon is shown in the toad stands by story, is more a coincidence than anything. It’s also on the wooden railway wiki that he was made up by learning curve.

I've had a few RWS books as a kid but the only one I had that used a RWS exclusive character was eight famous engines (big city engine) and I had numerous wooden railway toys as a kid and i specifically had Culdee, Neil, Mike (rws at time), big city engine, and D199 so for the longest time I was like "when the hell did these guys appear in the show" I thought Mike was a "bootleg James" and D199 was a gift from my cousins and I thought my cousins repainted class 40 😅

Love the video

It would have been cool if Wooden Railway also did City of Truro, Bear, Godred, Lord Harry, Mallard, Pip and Emma.

Flying Scotsman also got an Ertl model

It's hilarious that Rex is the ONLY character from the small railway that didn't get made into a toy. Even though he's actually appeared!

We need D199 and Wilbert in the Plarail Line!

Very detailed information. Excellent job!

I know one other person mentioned this, but Rickety is missing. Overall, though, great video and it was cool you included how these characters were/were not featured in other ranges as well.

I wish Bear and Jock got Wooden Railway models

You forgot Rickety. He’s based off of the blue truck in the first illustration of Toad Stands By.

Amazing. I’d do, I learned about so many characters some I didn’t even know existed

Nice vid bro!

14:03 The Culdee Fell engines actually had very limited story potential, as the stringent safety regulations of their railroad and the limiting nature of their short and sparsely populated line left the Reverend Awry without the material necessary for a second book about the Culled Fell Railway.

I'm surprised that we didn't get sixteen and Bear in wooden Railway.

Interesting video!

Nice Video

I love back when TWR made obscure characters like this its a pity they don't do this anymore, understandable though as I imagine they were a lot less marketable

Great video mate, very good. Only frank is miniature gauge, not narrow gauge. Best wishes. 🚂

I swear I remember my mum buying D199

I had Catherine, Fred, NW Breakvan and Mike when I was a kid in the early 2000's. Too bad I lost interest in Thomas after kindergarten because it would be nice if I had them today since I'm getting back into Thomas and the Wooden Railway line. I especially as a kid mistaken Mike as a knockoff James and now I feel like an idiot.

15:13 Like all the Thomas & friends characters in the wooden railway era that you mentioned. The railway series only characters that I like are (which have also been part of the wooden trains and other vehicles and rolling stock, counting three before their appearance in the show around the cgi series and also a take n play version of one, an ertl version of another and another version of a same character in for another): Neil, Culdee, Catherine, Sodor railway repair, Rex Bert and Mike (before their appearance in the show, Rex is the take n play one), Frank, Jock (ertl), Sodor china clay cars, Rickety (the chocolate one from the cookie factory cars), Fred, Diesel 199, Bear (mainly use the old style Diesel 199 from 1999 in for him), Wilbert, big city engine, Ivo Hugh and Ada Jane and Mabel. I also like all the train, other vehicles, cranes and rolling stock characters in wooden railway (with take n play Rex, ertl jock and mail van and another Diesel 199 in for Bear) including the 2004 Thomas, 2002 Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Donald and Douglas and Bertie, 2003 lady and terence, 2005 Diesel, 2006 Oliver and 2008 Peter Sam, the Sodor story collection trains Logan, Sam and Dustin, the off-track vehicles up to Madge, ten of the construction pack characters and Captain that were wooden railway, and up to Frieda, Gina, Vinnie, Ashima, Yong Bao (who’s mostly part of the wood line and fully coloured version) and Hugo.

14:01 why'd use you the illustration from the Korean version of Mountain Engines?

I recently got culdee at a toy show.

I used to wonder why they were not in the tv series

Fun fact mike was canceled for the ERTL line

You forgot about Mike's capsule plarail and Trackmaster toys and Bert's toys.

So “obscure” just means “wasn’t in the tv show” got it

❤wooden railway growing my collection for the past few yrs believe it or not 2 of the wooden railway items I have is is the 1996 and the most recent cuddled the purple engine not sure how spell c and i know how to spell ❤😊Ivo Hugh I also have I believe either 3 or 4 Wilberts in any number I am so glad that my collection is growing 😀 😊 😄. The 1st 2 cul de you showed in this video of yours.❤😊🎉

I've got the Ivo Hugh and the zoo cars, Culdee and the knapford apple orchard cars, Wilbert, Catherine

Lord Harry?!

Why does the background music sound like something from the 1986 transformers movie?

Epic

Frank and Mike are miniature gauge

Was the engine 16 an ertal exclusive? I know he was released as an ertal but you didn't mention him that's why I was wondering if he wasn't released in the wooden railway series.

I see me

What is there a ertl culdee in the thumbnail

Wooden railway carherine is actually the RWS mountain railway Truck

Bro YOU FORGOT ERTL LORD HARRY/PATRICK.

Mike and frank aren't narrow gauge they are miniature gauge

Bs where is Bert the arlsdale engine
