2012 Trackmaster Edward (new design) Unboxing review and first run.

[@ucwepn]

I just rebuilt a 1993 TOMY Henry with 3 volts and a light and handpainted details I love it.

JonyMeMan 2.0 same! Besides Edward’s old face, it looked nothing like him

[@jobeyjam]

I know right

[@morrisfutzz2.072]

JonyMeMan 2.0 Same with TOMY Henry. He has a weird face

[@henrygordonproductionsnwr7559]

I miss the 2012 ones

[@dylanhafizhmoon5067]

I'm nostalgic for my childhood in 2012 when I first watched this, I won't forget this until I grow up and I will tell my future children

[@Foobie07]

Besides the crooked sticker and the four fake wheels this Edward is several times better than what Mattel puts out nowadays.

[@hachsstuff]

I do like Trackmaster 2's engine but i just don't like the design and also the AEG is flat out bullshit

[@busted_boiler]

true its not that bad mattel is an idoit

[@CrypticClay]

Just listening to the cars pass by while listening to ucwepn just fills me with nostalgia, I miss u man

I got my 2012 Edward for my 11th birthday. And I love it.

[@craftxeni]

I don’t know why but it’s funny when he says “I received today, my Edward”

[@OljaTV]

good video. good for you

[@mylesthomasandfriends838]

I have that trackmaster Edward. I got it in February 2016 when I was 16 years old.

[@ucwepn]

yes its waiting to be given my usual video review treatment but i have just been super busy hopefully I can get a video done tomorrow

[@HankAmericanEngine]

I don't see why everyone is giving you a hard time about this review; in all honesty, mine would probably fair worse than this. I'd not even consider giving this a review. You're conducting it from a parent's, and modeller's, point of view for pricing, quality, and durability as well as looks and various other things. I applaud you for giving the good, bad, and ugly for the products.

[@Bunbiichuffn]

Trackmaster's new Edward is a vast improvement on the original, mainly in the face area. There really was something wrong with the old one's nose.. Nice review. :)

[@ramash1902]

[@ucwepn]

To those who say its a faker it is simply not, these new type of Trackmaster Edward ,James and Henry will be the only ones of these 3 engines available soon. I bought it from a reputable ebay seller in the Thomas scene, The locomotive is marked correctly underneath and the box is marked correctly also.

[@noseyentertainment1599]

the front wheel is like that because it makes climbing for the model easy-going

[@NWRTales1221]

I have been able to push the wheels down by using some grease, oil and some dye applied on it. it is quite hard to do but once it is applied I used a hammer to mediumly tap it. I fixed the stickers using some fox transfer numerals and lining and painted the running plate white and lamp irons black and then converted him to 4.5 volts When I first got it I gave it a 7/10 because of its CGI face, detatchable tender, smooth drive unit and etched cab roof

[@bookthedictionary2615]

I’m gonna get the plarail one or the tomy Edit: nvm I’m getting a streamlined thomas gosh darn it

[@samwong4827]

Those raised front wheels probably help make Edward work on the turntable as that the talking edward, the wheels were hitting the rails on the turntable

[@GamerTubeAwesome]

True

[@railfanatic1416]

I doubt it because I did a test going up a trackmaster hill with hit and Fisher price track with all my engines. All of the engines 2014 and older went up with no or minor problems. But tomy edward with real wheels (Lol) kept coming off the tracks.

[@finn.bs8]

Talking engines are longer

[@nicholasmohr3353]

My Talking Edward is like that, I call him flying Edward too.

[@CyberGlitched848]

Great! Just I need to see some kids will not care about the wheels or the 2 All I needed to see a review on him thank you!

[@ucwepn]

Yes I'm an adult and theres several other adults commenting here. We are merely making observations we have noticed when they re-tooled for this model. The first new design of this locomotive since 1992.

[@CasimusxPrime]

These things are certainly re-designed from the ones I had growing up. The tender was permanently attached and it didn't run on a AA battery. It ran on a C battery which also went in the tender (which is kinda ironic when you think about it)

[@tinybudgie8039]

This Edward is much much better compared to the ones sold today

[@railfanatic1416]

Very true indeed

[@railfanatic1416]

The trackmaster edward of this day only has four working wheels with a regular traction rod. (come on fisher price! get it together!)

[@Octoboi05]

When I was 4 to 8 years old, I remember that I had many Thomas toys and the one I loved the most was Edruard's but I never got it.. 🥺😭😭

[@LucaLegos563]

Oof

[@Belangerz]

Same, I always loved the classic Edward design. I got a pre Tomy Edward a few years ago and I love it.

[@ucwepn]

I will do the ones I have first of course :) allot of the ones you mention are just repaints with minor changes but I might get them at some stage.

[@ramash1902]

Gdjfjrhrırrıroruur

[@theatrociousanchovy6949]

I still have my tomy Edward and i have had it for 9 years

[@rief1975]

Edward is so friendly and happy

[@ucwepn]

on the tender is a giant sticker on each side and they have placed it slightly skewed (crooked), the older method with tampo printing straight on to the plastic was better.

[@WesleyO05]

The reason why this Edward has his front wheels risen up is to help him up hills

[@ucwepn]

nice work!

[@shanaki5721]

Nostalgia I remember watching you when I was 5

[@Thomasthetankengine-1a]

I also have this Edward! But we ordered without a tender but it’s still cool!

[@ucwepn]

Hmmm can't do that sorry, some people seem to think I am rich or something but I'm just a normal guy with a bad Thomas habit lol, hopefully you can get one soon.

[@Trainboy56team]

Yeah Mattel also made with with a connect tender that doesn’t detach from engine and takes a c battery

[@ucwepn]

yes I understand there is always some risk involved but I have saved allot of money buying online, inflation is through the roof here, the other day I bought 2012 Trackmaster Thomas with Annie and Clarabel and it was $35 from Target. I could have bought 2 engines for that price on ebay.

[@ucwepn]

Thanks for that :D

[@ucwepn]

yes do you mean that they all have the flat drive unit and run on AA? I don't think they are an improvement over the original design.

[@maximumsquad8243]

I still have this Edward

[@Planetkid32]

Hey this thing is still better than the Trackmaster 2 Edward and the 2018 Plarail Edward.

[@stephenderose2006]

i,m liking the way fisherprice is packing the engine,s cause when i do reviews it,smuch faster than getting my scissors and cutting the twist ties this is the best idea fisherprice has had ever

[@fartingdog168]

The front wheel is like that for climbing up hills, also the sticker isn't slanted at all.

[@ucwepn]

I can if a buy a new one :P my old tomy edward is now running on 3v

[@roxaclock]

I'd say that this Edward is superior to the current Edward.

[@ucwepn]

Hi I have a TOMY one with is 3v converted and an earlier Trackmaster version that has an upgraded motor. yes often the power sellers that sell in large quantities just use a photo that they have on hand to show an item, they usually just send whatever they have/can get in stock.

[@ucwepn]

Everything comes from that part of the world these days lol, Usually they are very good with their Trackmaster but this is a rare occasion when one is faulty now know that I have never had a faulty one before and thats a pretty good success rate seeing I have bought about 30 engines from HK and China.

[@candicepressley9188]

I was watching these videos with my 4yr old, so at first I thought you were crazy.....BUT NOW....it's driving me crazy! Almost all of his are "flying trains". LOL

[@ucwepn]

Its ok to complain how else will they know we are not pleased with their product? :) thanks for watching

[@stanclickin]

i love this Edward and danks 4 de video

[@hailameropati4008]

Since I was little I d love Thomas and Friends

[@EngineNo13]

Great video!

[@ucwepn]

Thanks I'm trying to keep it real on the new stuff, credit where credits due, no credit is due here its just not good enough.

[@ucwepn]

Thanks.

[@PatrickthesnowyFox]

It’s fine how it is I like Edward

[@mikeoconnell1341]

Ah, I have the old Edward but along with Lady (and Oliver is starting to do the same) the bottom part which holds the wheels together came off. I then replaced Edward's wheels with black ones, as I made a custom Railway Series Douglas. Years later the tender snapped off, oh well they are very, very old!

[@josearmandomartinez2622]

That's a good trackmaster 2012 edward

[@TheSafarigaming]

you've got an awesome track set though

[@ucwepn]

Thanks Hank I have got allot of feedback from this video good and bad but its all part of making videos taking the good with the bad :p allot of haters out there but I'm having fun thats what matters. And yes especially from a pricing point of view this is a shocking toy that probably cost $4 to make. Some of the newer Trackmaster stuff is outstanding i don't understand the need to retool this model and do it so badly.

[@metal_wheels]

I have try to fix the front bogey, by melting the plastic holder and re glued the pin on the undercarriage

[@ucwepn]

Still heaps of new TOMY available on ebay and they are releasing more stuff for the 20 year anniversary, theres even going to be TOMY Chuggingtons

[@ucwepn]

Den and Dart are on the way with their own double unboxing, I want a stafford still trying hard to find one

[@dylanhafizhmoon5067]

thanks again for my childhood

[@ucwepn]

Yes I agree the face is not a highlight for me, notice i don't mention the face at all in the video or the written review, it has enough problems without the funny face haha.

[@NWRTales1221]

33. 4.5 volt gordon (white running plate, black lamp irons, silver handrail and red stipes on the boiler) 34. TOMY Percy and the Chocolate Crunch 35. plarail Percy and Circus Wagons its a lot but what do you think will you review?

[@nedthesteamshovel]

Very good review!

[@ucwepn]

Ok the good news is i butchered his front wheels off (theres no easy way to detach them) and I glued them so they sit level with the rear most front wheels, Bad news is the drive unit is suspect as it continues to randomly cut out and is really struggling even with a new battery. Will contact the seller as I don't want to cannibalize another engine for this edward.

[@lordvader1672]

I want to get this style of Edward

[@tommylovestrains]

I have that Edward too, now my question to you is how to make the front wheel level with the second wheel?

[@ucwepn]

Hi well it wasn't easy but I cut the rear pair of wheels from the chassis and reglued them in position so they are level with the front wheels

[@ucwepn]

Theres not really anywhere to put a battery pack so no 3v conversion on this edward. It could be done but i would have to swap tenders

[@ucwepn]

Hi I agree that the originals were superior in almost every way, no I don't have the new James I have a lovely original TOMY one in great condition though.

[@luisitoruiz4001]

Ucwepn I just received the same Edward you have, but it's the complete opposite of yours! Mine runs nicely and quietly, the tender stickers are perfectly aligned, and doesn't have any other problems whatsoever! And mine came in a different package as well so i dont know if the way they made your Edward was a one-time mistake or if the mailman was careless or not.

[@arekgrodzki7707]

i love this model . i having a thomas from 2012 this model i very good. i spend from allegro

[@ucwepn]

only stafford at this stage unless they bring out some more, I wouldn't buy another of these unless they changed the design. I want to get more TOMY though the new engines look great..

[@ucwepn]

Thanks I have had nothing but trouble with the battery powered woodens, I just have bad luck though :p

[@ucwepn]

Seller is sending me a new one as this drive unit is faulty (Havenso is a great seller BTW), so I am going to repaint this engine into a different livery and 3v mod with an old james tender as theres no room in this new edward tender for a battery pack. So he will be BR Black with a proper tender decal on oldschool permanent tender with a battery pack inside stay tuned!!

[@davidantoniocamposbarros7528]

I still own the old trackmaster Edward,but i don't if it still runs but i really want to make it new again (i don't think that would go to my old trackmaster james cuz i would shove it into the dirt and then wash it in the sink cuz i wanted to simulate a crash,but i think i would either buy a new one or repair it,but probably i don't have that much of equipmant)

[@gamer-fs1jn]

To be honest i like the old Edward from 2012. You may ask why? Well trackmaster 2 just made Edward look like not Edward. If you look up on google: "Trackmaster 2 Edward" You would see how does he look like. So just compare the two to eachother. You would see alot of diffrance's between the two. That also does not mean i hate trackmaster 2 or the Fisher Price company. I just don't like how the new model looks like. And i like the older version. And that's just my opinion. Thank you for reading and have a good day/ night :)

[@c.j.andsonicmclendon7984]

my Edward which is the same as the one you just did one of the wheels berly move. one wheel isn't powered!!!!

[@beybladelegend7574]

ucwepn i know how to level down the front wheels on edward

[@stzrq]

How?

[@NWRTales1221]

If they were to make an r/c version of this th modificatins i would say is that, fix the front wheel and middle wheel to be real, make it go faster, fix the stickers on both sides, paint the whistle gold and get a second one too and improve the build quality. The red running plate is okay to me.

[@victorferrer9584]

I'm gonna get edward in 2018

I have that 2012 Trackmaster Edward. It's not that bad to me. It's okay. But I prefer the old trackmaster C sized battery Edward that I still have. I have two different trackmaster Edwards. Old one's better. :)

[@NWRTales1221]

Nah, just kidding. i have one already. Just want to know if you do these things because i don't. i got one already off on eBay quite earlier last year. Overall I think Trackmaster's 2012 Edward is alright. I just love the CGI face, the matted cab roof, detachable tender and type tires. some people may say that tomy is starting to look a bit acquainted by this point. Do a video of him converted to 3 volts and race him with plarail edward.

[@ucwepn]

Oh for realz? i gotta check em out aye!

[@tommyr1066]

that hapened to me but whit neville the weel on the tender didnt work there was two weels stuck together.i need to buy a weird screw driver to fix the tender.

[@ucwepn]

yes I agree it seems I am being quite petty about sticker placement, they are just one of this trains bad points. The amount of money they charge for these trains where i live i expect better quality. It seems they decided "Oh these are just toys for young kids so it doesn't matter as they wont notice" well somebody DID notice.

[@ThomasSirHandel]

2012 was when TrackMaster started to go downhill. I got the Plarail Edward in either 2014 or 2015. The last TrackMaster item I got was Stephen in Christmas 2013.

[@ThomasisEpic411]

which other 2012 engines are you going to get?

[@NWRTales1221]

[@SkyMelon-wc1fx]

i miss old trackmaster

[@HankAmericanEngine]

Probably retool the models to save money for customers on battery purchases; how do they plan to do that with the road vehicles? I'm certainly no fan of the two niches in the wheels.

[@ThomasSirHandel]

Plarail honestly should have went with this Edward design over the inaccurate design.

[@jinpark3792]

the front wheel is like that so that it can go a little bit more steeper just a little

[@SuperZiggyCraft]

I saw Edward's front wheels that turn stop turning!

[@calreeve5805]

This video is the awesomest

[@ucwepn]

Been busy chopping the wheels off and re-gluing them on, will report tomorrow how i went

[@ucwepn]

Lots of haters I am simply reviewing a new product, I could have lied and said hey its the perfect toy but I am honest about any flaws I find in things I review. This channel might be strange to most people but I have seen a channel where a grown man was wearing a nappy and acting like a baby so I don't think this channel has fallen into the super weird catagory yet.
