SPLATTER AND DODGE WERE MENT TO BE IN DAY OF THE DIESELS

I feel like you took 20 minutes to say what you could have in 5. Even the whole eBay thing felt so anticlimactic.

Good Work.

What are you guy's thoughts on the 2010 Crane and Cargo Figure 8 set. It was a target exclusive with an exclusive yellow cargo car, Crane, and Stackable Riser

Very rare piece

I think putting the troublesome brakevan number one is one of the decisions ever.

Make a collection for your flying Scotsman’s so you can live up to your name

BUT THE FLYING SCOTSMAN😭😭😭😭

I wasn't expecting a lot since you have the talent of talking about 1 item for a while without it getting boring but wow! This is an insanely impressive collection, better hold on to these awesome items

If I were you, I'd totally try to track down the rest of 1-11 in that 1998 box. Lovely design that so few collect. Otherwise, nice collection! The Diesel is hella neat!

Dude

Dude

I really need these

Thomaswoodenrailway: look what they need, to mimic a fraction of my collection

This is a pretty cool new in box collection featuring all the engines and rolling stock. Personally if I had all the time in the world I would dedicate collecting items new in box. Although there are a lot of items I don't have, that I would like to collect before I get them in the box so to speak. Nonetheless looking forward to part 2 to the collection video. Speaking of which I've done a few collection videos myself it's just taking a picture putting them all together and adding music for people to listen to so I guess it's a little more advanced.

I have felt like that 😭

I don't know why they didn't just make other characters from Season 5. Would it of hurt them to make a Derek, Bertram or the Horrid Lorries during 1999? Or they could've made road vehicles they hadn't made yet like Bulgy, George, or Caroline

I feel like the orange cargo car with green cargo was made so that Cranky had more cargo to pick up. I think it just didn’t last long because it didn’t seem very inspired.

The 1999 yearbook was my introduction to the Thomas Wooden Railway, and it's a shame that most of these products didn't last long; I got the Cargo car, the Spiteful Brake Van and my younger brother got Flying Scotsman.

This video is great just for the riser i hardly know her joke, i am so happy

I feel that new items for 1999 are more gimmicky than 1996-1998 because Roy Wilson was slowly leaving his executive job at learning curve

Where did you get the catalog from? eBay?

i'm in the small margin of people who adore the 1999-2001 stuff. i wish that lasted longer. had the plastic funnels and coal of the newer stuff, yet it still had the simplicity of the older stuff.

You need to read the RWS. Like now. I’ve as of recent lost interest in Thomas and friends but my passion for the RWS never ends.

Neil is actually one of my favourite TWR items and the spiteful brakevan is the only realistic brakevan other than maybe toad but he’s a bit dodgy

It begs the question as to why Thomas Wooden Railway never produced a set of roadway switches for individual sale; those would have been useful in allowing road vehicles switch to destinations with dead ends, but still having a complete circuit of road. The only way to get roadway switches was through the Zany Brainy-exclusive Deluxe Chocolate Factory Set. ERTL had a short-lived Wooden Roadway line called ERTL Hometown Roadway, which was released in 2002, the same year Thomas Wooden Railway entered its silver age with its own Wooden Roadway branch, and Hometown Roadway had a set of road switches available for individual sale. Unfortunately, likely due to its target audience of young children being more interested in trains than road vehicles, the Hometown Roadway line sold poorly and was discontinued in 2003. I did a Wooden Roadway Discussion of the ERTL Hometown Roadway McDonald's Drive-Thru Restaurant in early 2022.

I’ve always really liked the stop and go station too. So simple, but it just works. I think the reason you felt it was around longer is because it was in other stuff other than the Stop and Go Figure 8 set. It was in the roundhouse set and the advanced figure eight expansion pack. Then there was the repainted version for the Thomas-Saurus Rex set, and then there was even a Mattel edition in their version of the Tidmouth Sheds Deluxe Set

To be honest I don't really like wooden railway, I mean I can recognize it for it's worth but, you can't give me a block of wood painted like maroon or something and say look! Its Arthur, 0-4-0 Edward is a creature that can only live in my nightmares, Terence, Thumper, & Post-93 Mavis cant go through tighter curves, 1996 Culdee as a whole, the list goes on. In my opinion wooden railway is just a conceptually flawed line, and in my personal opinion Trackmaster will always be in the superior line, but at the end of the day, all Thomas toy lines are flawed. (Sorry that my essay of a hottake was specifically published on your video)

The lack of the Interactive Talking Railway sets really makes the last learning curves years look so much worse 😭 idk if they just seperate on the wiki but the docks, Great Waterton, and knapford sets are all bangers

Toys of characters that are exclusive to The Railway Series was risky to make. Many kids most likely grew up watching the TV Show and not the books. So they probably weren't interested in the characters that never appeared in the show before; there are a few exceptions like Culdee, Mike, and D199. I know when I was a little I was confused when I saw Neil, Catherine, Wilbert, D199, and Flying Scotsman. And I was very confused with the first version of Culdee.

The NW Brakevan (also known as the Spiteful Brakevan) lasted from 2001 to 2005 in Europe. Likely he was more popular in that country because he was a British brake van, and aside from Toad, the only one released for the Thomas Wooden Railway line. Most of the time, Thomas Wooden Railway had the Sodor Line Caboose, which was an American caboose.

I have the five truck Thomas, but my Thomas has a funnel the same one as my 2002 Thomas. Also the Sodor coal station isn’t a bad set, sure it ain’t perfect but still looks neat.

I have the Cargo Car the Spiteful Brake Van and Catherine altho the Flying Scotsman I have is the 2013 one. I did also use to use Neil in my series but I replaced it with my custom Trackmaster Neil I made from Samson.

I've never really thought about a worst year this is interesting

LNERFlyingscotsman in the video with MPS where you were looking at eBay items you wanted a Dustin I have a NIB dusting willing to trade for one 1998 Knapford express coach and one mail coach reply to comment for my email address

pretty cool video man, never really thought about the "worst" classic year of wooden railway doesn't make it bad by any means, but still something interesting to think about

I highly disagree!!! 😡 While yes, there are a few duds like Catherine, but 1999 was overall better than 2017-2021 that’s for sure!

Nothing is better than a Bertie video!

But he doesn’t have tires

Those items could pay for like half a tank of gas in California

I love Shining Time Station!

I disagree I like that Thomas a lot. I'm surprised you didn't have this sooner tbh but great find man!

I like Percy takes a plunge and James goes buzz buzz sets. I agree for the Rusty and the Boulder set, they should replace Oliver with Percy. And added an engine shed. Also I’m glad for the quarry set, they keep changing it to make it more accurate to the show. As for Henry and the elephant set, they should have made the elephant a wooden figure like in the circus. And added two cars and a tunnel, to make it more accurate to the episode (Henry and the elephant).

Why there’s a giant Boss Baby logo

2:13 i dont agree with the thinking that collectors edition would be aimed towards teens/adults

I like the coach, it looks so good 👍🏻.

had no idea the coach was included in a computer game. just imagine if you bought the non cereal box edition of the Pepsi man video game and you got a free can of Pepsi with every purchase. same thing with the chex cereal video game. kids these days will never know what a savings bond is

I recently got one with the box as well and i enjoyed the video.
