5 BEST Trackmaster Sets Of ALL Time

Trackmaster as a brand has always been one of my favorites; and while previously I focused on the worst sets I thought had ever been released; today I wanted to switch it up for the positive! :)

The HiT Toy Company playsets are difficult to beat, I wasn't a fan of the all blue Thomas Daring Drop. Said to be the tallest playset but it actually wasn't at that time.

You have to admit tho, getting that absolute GIANT Cranky was amazing, maybe not the most "exciting or complex" set, but having a giant cranky was awesome.

Seeing this video made me so happy. When I saw the Misty Island and Great Discovery sets I had a rush of nostalgia from when I was little and asking my parents for the sets. Felt good remembering those days.

[@Lucat_Here]

I always wanted the afton canyon as a kid, i remember asking my mom for it all the time when I was 7 or 8, I’ve since gotten out of track-master in favor of other stuff but I might get it one day just to full fill a childhood dream

[@Gordonjamesheneryproductions]

I owned all of them except for Misty Island deluxe and the timber sheds one unfortunately I lost the action canyon bridge

[@SunnySudrian]

I’m very happy to have the troublesome traps set just minus the James, but I’m confused why Percy wasn’t in the set as he was the “scardie engine”. Also why didnt Rheneas come in the thomas’ daring drop as he was the one who went on the breaking bridge in blue mountain, for your next video you should do a top five trackmaster packs also great video as always!

[@trainsRawesome]

I’d really like to see a top 5 for Plarail, or perhaps top 5 TM engines

[@RufusBoi2008]

I'm not sure what is was called but there was this huge set i had that came with Thomas, Annie and Clarabel Percy with some trucks And one of the pack members. Also a level crossing with lots of road. If you can find it please mention it in your vid 👍

[@stevennorthrup5790]

Thomas with Annie and Clarabel, Percy with some trucks, a level crossing, lots of road, and I don’t think any of the Pack members are in the set due to them not being made around that time. It does feature Elizabeth, who is not a member of the pack, neither are Trevor and Caroline. Terence is not a member of the pack, either.

this was really interesting, i had very few track master sets only 2 iirc, one i forget the title of, the other was from thomas and bertie’s race back in season 1. i admit trackmaster is interesting however my preference has always been the wooden train sets.

[@SEM4official]

Mate, I've ALWAYS wanted Action Canyon since I was a kid, that commercial that I saw online, had always caught my attention! I still intend to get it some day in, because this set was awesome! As for the rest of the set in this list, I still want to get those sets, especially Tidmoth Shed, the Misty island set, and Thomas's daring drop, are still on my wish list, but Action Canyon has and still is one of my most wanted set, and I don't mine if I find the original, the snow theme or even both, this set was just so awesome

[@Daniel-xq8mo]

We bought a HUGE bundle of track of off ebay (the track from back when it was blue) and it had a huge bridge, a really long double track section that went round all of it and a small little engine shed bit

[@dabluepittoo-aqua4213]

Always remembered loving seeing the Action Canyon commercial when watching The Great Discovery. From one of THE best specials, I expected nothing less.

[@rangerrobinson5034]

I actually have a Action Canyon set. Funny story with this set when I was younger. I covered it with 1 or 2 big containers of Nesquick power to make “snow”. My mom was angry but I didn’t get in to much trouble because she was to busy laughing her butt off. To this day some years later you can tell which trains I played with that day because I’ve never been able to fully clean them.

[@StationGuyGabe9821]

I was honestly a Take Along kid but I still had like 3 of these sets and man they were so fun. I remember even if I didn’t have the entire action canyon set up I would use the mountain part as Gordon’s hill lmao

[@SodorStudiosAndCoProductions]

What about making a list of worst/best Trackmaster Thomas *destinations* or *accessories* next? Like, I’m sure you could find quite a decent amount of them which either were essential for a proper layout, or even some that just didn’t make any sense

@@jamestheshinyredengine4350 Yeah, I was expecting it to be like that, but it was worth it since I got Duck and some new coaches. :)

[@margogoralski6294]

Excellent video as always. I actually own every one of these sets... sorta. I only actually got the Shake Shake Bridge set on its own, but to me, that kinda counts. And I agree about the Troublesome Traps set, as back then even, I found it far more enjoyable and less gimmicky than later sets. Plus, my version of Thomas' Daring Drop came with a truck, boulders, a zip line, and stone cutting station, so there was an even better version of that set than what was shown here. Just goes to show how awesome Thomas merch was.

[@Stuingtion]

The Thomas Action Canyon was my first Trackmaster set in my life. And I'm proud of it being at the 1st set.

I sadly no longer have it- But I was one of the lucky ones who had an Action Canyon, received it for christmas like 12-11ish years ago. It was the only set I ever revived in box, brand new from what I remember. I went absolutely bonkers christmas morning when I got it, even getting the stanley pack as a side gift. Again, I no longer have it, but I was able to keep the Stanley and Thomas I received all those years ago. Good memories.

I had all of the Top 4 Classic Trackmaster sets as a kid, and still do to this day. My two favorites were Action Canyon and the Tidmouth Sheds set. The former was just really fun with how many different ways you could send the engines and the fun spiral, and the latter was just really nice to have an integral location from the show. I similarly got excited when I finally got Knapford Station

I had the shake shake bridge and Great discovery sets, but I had to give them to my cousin and throw away part of the Great Discovery set along with a Tomy set I had sadly, which was only because my parents had bought me he Blue Mountain Mystery set which I cried for and said that I had to get rid of my old tracks. I still have another set that came with Arthur and Thomas from my neighbor grandson. I still have both that and Blue Mountain in a tote in my closet, I still regret giving away and throwing out my other sets, including the stem works I had got from that same neighbor. That same cousin also let his parent throw out his old Thomas sets including the pieces I gave him while I was there with them and couldn’t doing anything about it cause I was 15 or 16 at the time, but I’m 17 now with a small love for Thomas still.🙂

I don’t have the action canyon set anymore but I still remember getting it for Christmas in 2010 with the Thomas and the jet engine DVD, my 6 year old self was so happy!! I miss my childhood man!

[@Kukaak]

There is a second version of the Thomas' Daring Drop set - the Risky Rails Bridge Drop set. It's basically the same thing except when Thomas goes to the top he can stop, drop a boulder into a chute which then goes to Merrick and from there it's sent in a crate on a string back down. I think that deserves to be the second best set. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3-xXpZ9abtjps0

i am by no means a member of the thomas fandom. i grew out of it long ago, in favor of video games like super mario and pokemon. i can remember getting the misty island deluxe set for christmas when i was... roughly seven? seeing it complete again makes me feel nostalgic. i remember getting the set for christmas and having a blast with it. seeing that grand canyon ad brought tears to my eyes as well. i remember going onto my dead-beat windows xp and watching trailers for the toys as a kid. that one mustve been in one of the dvds i had. currently, i am in college and do not have most of the trains i used to own. hell, i barely have much thought of anything thomas, but thank you for reminding me of a simplier time in my life. i rarely like videos these days, but you deserve one.

[@legogonegaming]

I had all but the number one spot and I wanted it so much when I was a kid. Tomas and friends always will hold a place in my heart because it was my childhood and I can’t stand the abomination it has become there is truly no coming back for it and it hurts a bit but I will always cherish those times as a child and still am connected to the fan base and show even now.

[@4unfed]

i remember having the action canyon set. i think i still have all the pieces, but i’m pretty sure the thomas stopped working because of all the slam-into-another-train accidents i would always do with it. i’m pretty sure i had the 2011 version, because it was a hit era looking thomas. i don’t remember too much about it, (probably because i was only 3-5 when i got it) but nonetheless, it was a really fun set that i played with for hours when i was a toddler. very deserving of the number 1 spot on this list.
