That's why they call it a busy book. Because you'll be busy repainting them

The only time we’ve seen AEG diesel look devious

“Who buys these, how are these still in production?” Trainboy. He buys all of them.

i lost it when you started moving them around the mat. Thank you for taking the fall for all of us

Busy books but no busy bee 😭 A great video! some aeg models look like random models on a bachman chassis

Just when I thought AEG couldn’t get any worse, they go and turn my boy Harold into a god damn toaster oven Man’s got more right angles on him than my 76 Chevy

I can't help but to say that Diesel has definitely been on something. Maybe that's why he's so goofy- Good vid, as always!

I already had extremely low expectations... and I'm still let down. Definitely a Mattel product

3:41 “do you smell a smell?”

I will literally eat diesel, *He looks like a brownie*

Not gonna lie, Thomas, having a black boiler is kind of interesting. I don’t prefer it over the blue one, but it’s definitely interesting. I wouldn’t mind seeing that in a highly industrial take on Thomas.

I just thought I'd share this, but. Earlier, my grandmother wanted to go to TJ-MAX and I was just wandering around. For the first time in years, my 19 year old ass saw a Thomas figure and for a split second, considered buying it. But, hey great video! Always entertaining!

Thomas and friends was also currently owned from HIT entertainment and Mattel creation after Wilbert awdry's Death from home in March 21, 1997, That busy book was really weird and wheels looks black like Donald and Douglas in season 2, I remembered these two scottish twins since i was young.

trainboy, the castle was kirk ronan for some reason they brought it back, great video though!

My cousin just introduced me to your channel and the real historical events around Thomas&Friends. I think I’ve honestly learned a lot about myself. Love the content, love your energy, and yeah, have your fucking sub.

"WAIT YOUR TURN!" cracked me up

Honestly I always liked the smell of the busy books for some reason….

N scale Bruno would go hard ngl.

Me before watching this video: “These toys can’t be that cursed…” Me after watching this video: “THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!”

Bro I’m so glad you played the Mario music because i just came back from seeing the Mario movie and i loved it just for that I’m liking the video ❤👍

Jesus Christ. Cool video but those things are cursed.

Only OGs remember getting busy books for Christmas or birthdays lol

Diesel is megamind confirmed

Great review! Here's my thoughts on each figure Percy: The more I look at this model the weirder it gets... that face is absolute nightmare fuel it feels like its staring into my soul. Also, I wish the wheels were green rather than black Thomas: EWWWWWWWW why is it so squished? I'm glad we have more details with the lining but titan it's so squished and looks awful. How did they make Thomas' face worse than Percys too?! Why didn't they bother making the boiler and wheels blue? That would've made this better James: I sound like a broken record at this point with the faces but AGH! That's horrifying it's like something out of a nightmare. The lack of detail is so disappointing and oh my goodness what is going on with that chassis?! At least James' wheels are the correct colour and he has coal Nia: The face isn't that bad? It's bad but not as bad as the others I've talked about so far. The lack of details is disappointing though. Pity they didn't make Nias boilers and wheels orange like the show that would've made this model better Diesel: This is one of the better models and even then he isn't accurate to AEG which says a lot. I wish they at least gave him the purple that's across his body in AEG too Sandy: Sandys okay I guess? The lack of details drags this model down though Carly: This model is weird and I dont know why? Maybe it's just Carlys AEG design in general. It would've been nice to position her crane arm tbh Kana: In terms of design Kana looks great! Her face is okay I guess but, what I really don't like about this model is that she's SOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG Bruno: The lack of details on this is really disappointing poor Bruno never seems to get the details he deserves Harold: Harold's face is probably the best of the figures in this Busy Books set. Those lack of details sure are disappointing though

It would certainly be interesting to see you do some AEG-themed electric customs, but yeesh, these probably aren't it. You could _maybe_ get away with Diesel, the low-detail and matte finish at least work for him; or Bruno, if you sort out the paint for his windows by hand. At a push, you could potentially cut off James' smokebox and attach it to a better chassis, but its probably not worth the effort. Super weird that they're a better fit for OO/HO though. Not sure how that scaling might affect any modeling efforts, I imaging they'd look very out of place on N-gauge wheels.

21 minutes of Trainboy? Me: YES!

What a good day. I get school off from a snow storm and train boy uploads. W day fr

Mattel quality slippin again 🤦‍♂️

10:12 also (in the recording) he looks like a mix a tour & brown

The old busy book engine were way more detail for the time. Most of them had white running boards

Diesel looks like he took some "SPECIAL" coal like goddammit you know how illegal that stuff is, D? Don't EVER take from my stash.

"Kids, remember, don't sniff mats. That's not advised on this channel." - TrainBoy 2023

I actually got the classic Thomas busy book with the figurines.

Diesel looks like he is on something

"I dont plan to eat these, but You never know" trainboy

Thomas looks the all engines go mad bomber version of Thomas.

so THIS is why Mattel rebooted the show, to sell merch and books- Man, someone cancel them already (Also what the diesel doin on the thumbnail??)

AEG Busy Book locos (and helicopter) just look wrong, to put it politely. Makes me glad that I saw a better version of the "Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends" Busy Books in bookstores as a kid during the '90's.

AEG busy books are insane, Perfect

Another banger from the man ❤

What's next, Thomas AEG shoes?

Awesome video trainboy

Yea another day to me to see the cursed merch AEG

My busy books? Nah, my busy questioning my life choices I'm ordering one too

I had the original from a long time ago but, many of the pieces,the mat, and the book itself are lost. But, WHAT HAS THE QUALITY OF THESE TOYS BECOME? THE ORIGINAL MY BUSY BOOKS ENGINES HAD BETTER PAINT JOBS! Great video tho!

hi train boy can you check of those engines can fit on trackmaster tracks

"mr president, they got to the busy books"

I'm dying from seeing thomas

Diesel looks like he smokin somthin

They once again did my boi dirty.

No offense and no roasting, but the care that was taken to your fingernails was the most care then every single engine/character you were viewed in this video 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊

I can’t believe that they made An All Engines Go My Busy Book I have the original Thomas My Busy Book and why do the figures look so big? The figures on the original Thomas, My Busy Book The figures look so small and why does diesel look so terrifying?

the black wheels give me mad bomber vibes.

Thomas doesn't have his triangle eyebrows

9:39 big brain diesel

I have both of the original of the Thomas & Friends busy books before the change of All Engines Go.

The Busy Books Thomas books are extremely underrated in my opinion. The new All Engines Go versions of the characters admittedly do look horrible, but they didn’t always look like that and I wish they got more love. The original Busy Books engines actually had great detailing for something so cheap and so small, they used the have white running boards, molded siderods, accurate proportions and on some versions window detailing on the front and it’s sad that they got rid of all of that detail on the new ones. I don’t know if anyone will ever see this comment or agree with this unpopular opinion but I think the My Busy Books Thomas range had more detailing than i\a lot of other Thomas merchandise lines and I love just having them on the table or simply pulling them out and looking at them for a bit and I’m sorry your first exposure to this line was… whatever it is now but I can assure it wasn’t always like this! Thank you for reading my comment and I enjoyed the video!

funi tiny boi

I thought James was your favorite character

They probably could be made in to n scale but appear they would be more of the tomix n scale not the bachmann n scale

I've had a old one but the only thing I got left of it is a damaged gordon

Remember how good the originals were? You can tell these ones were made just for profit

YEAH, BOI! WE GOT DA BUSSY BOOKS

Why having Thomas and Percy having black wheels make me like them more in this set

The mad bomber theme intensifies

Kana was very interesting Highspeed diesel this diesel was based on 0 Series Shinkansen was the same Size is bigger then Kangi From Thomas and friends in Season 24 Special: The Marvelous Machinery of the 75 anniversary of the Railway series and the tv series. 0 Series Shinkansen was also known as a "Bullet Train". These were the first generation of such engines and were designed specifically to run the high-speed Tōkaidō Shinkansen line in Japan. By 2008, all units had been withdrawn from active service, however a large number are preserved, including one at the National Railway Museum in York, which was donated as a gift by the West Japan Railway Company in 2001.

this is random but I wanted to say that the creator of the game Choo Choo Charles said in a recent video that the original name for the game was trainboy but he changed it because "some" KZfaqr went by the same name. so that's funny

Seeing N Scale-ification (if that’s right?) would be cool

You can shave off the james face and add a better face and the lining seems pretty easy to add on

I like Bruno the Brakecar aka the caboose or brakevan!

Someone actually kill me. The original busy books were better than this, even tho they look like they've been chewed on

*quality has left the chat*

18:00 - That’s the Maintenance Yard

2:39 LMAO

You should repaint em all

I love how both thomas and nai have black boilers

I had a busy book but lost it and the figures i found three of them which was Henry, Gordon, and Clarabel, then i lost henry and Clarabel, but have the Gordon with me still. It was also a Classic Series one which made it even better

The "prototypes" at 2:04 are actually the AEG Magical Tracks models.

My favourite part of this vid was your cat Lol

This is funny because I was just talking about this coming out lol

These engines are so cursed that I am kind of impressed. I’m impressed at how poorly made these are, and how Mattel Greenlit them when they could’ve just gone with The Prototypes. Edit: Honestly, I don’t think these things deserve to become N scale runners. At best maybe you could buy like a bogey chassis and make them become dummy engines for HO/OO Rails. But even that seems generous.

Nice Busy Book!

Bro James is just like-----;; Demon

I dare you to cover them in lead paint them get them recalled for the sake of it

“ I don’t know why this screams Disney to me” No my child this screams satan

Diesel on that stuff.

I had one of the first Busy Book variants. I can tell you that the mini figures from that were far better detailed than these. This is probably the worst AEG merchandise. And you pointed out two potential uses for them, 1. A human chewing alternative for recovering nicotine addicts or 2. cat toys.

I can't believe they did James

Forget the engines and keep the Matt as a Map

2:02 those are the prototypes 2:47 and those are the toys remember what they took away from you

The James looks like a knock off version of the miniature ertl James and the Harold looks like a Harold baby toy

YES 911 GET THE SWATT TEAM

Nah what did they do to my busy book 😟

I used to have the busy book with Mavis, Harold, Thomas and the original steam team and Bertie

You should still convert percy or just straight up try too

So were not gonna talk about James' nose from that top view 💀 + Diesel has a smaller forehead than mine

It's like they just quit painting them all halfway through

ever heard of Thomas' ABC Book? i used to have it

something about harold screams "we bare bears" to me

So much for roasting the fvck outta this stuff.
