[@Iiswired]

Mattel probably took them back to their storage

[@TrevortheTrainFan]

Awesome replica of Toby! Though, he’s missing his front headlamp.

[@realchristian77010]

Yep, unfortunately..

[@Joeythetrainguy]

I'm glad to see they actually started to act like they care about the models 👍

[@thomasthetrainfan4660]

Lets hope replica toby isn't stolen too

[@therailwaymen2203]

If it did, it would be both sad and hilarious

[@jjanimations4612]

[@ollieticehurst2690]

[@Kyranyoutubevids]

Wow, Toby’s back

[@missmanxee]

Hooray Toby’s back!!! I am so happy to see my favorite steam tram back on the layout I’m definitely going to Drayton manor for this thank you for sharing this 👍💙🚂

[@JamesProductions-fj4ip]

Toby is a replica model, it’s not the actual prop

[@Iiswired]

Yeah they wouldn't restore it if they got it back 😂

[@Thomasin_motion]

Who agrees this is their favorite drayton manor layout?

[@oohwhop716]

Layout looks better

[@KaiTheRapperPvpCrafter2002]

Dont u just love locomotives

[@keanes8608]

More realistic than the HIT Era.

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

@keanes8608 And FAR more realistic than Big World, Big Adventures or All Engines Go!.

[@Percyfan24]

James replaced Stepney

[@pk_arcfire]

They fixed the models!!

[@JamesProductions-fj4ip]

Thomas, Toby, James, Edward, Annie, Clarabel and all the narrow gauge engines and rolling stock are replicas

[@LoganAnimates_Official]

@@JamesProductions-fj4ipWAIT WHAT???? I NEVER KNEW THAT!!!!(well except for toby, i know he got stolen) WHERES THE REAL THOMAS???? AND JAMES?!?!!

[@jjanimations4612]

the og plastic models used in season 1 to 10 are scattered, thomas and Henry are still owned by mattel and occasionally displayed, while many of the others are owned by private collectors, the og models of James, Edward and percy are owned by thomas tank merch on twitter along with many of the og props

[@LoganAnimates_Official]

@@jjanimations4612 oh ok

[@BellyLover06]

1:16: The episode playing on the TV towards the top is "A Close Shave for Duck"

[@AlongPreservedLines]

So... what happened to the original Edward and Thomas that they had...?

[@TheKaidynB]

Toby oh Toby!

[@Iiswired]

I’m don’t know how I feel about them just taking the props from our childhood and making replicas because they did bad maintenance

[@merlinandmurdoch7837]

It’s only the running models.

[@robertfeld5829]

I half expected the theme.

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

0:14 - Let's hope this Toby doesn't get stolen. 0:20 - Salty's nameplate from the "Five New Engines in the Shed" music video. 0:39 - There's the bull that chased Gremlin the Dalmatian. 0:51 - The Red Balloon. 1:00 - Miss Jenny and the Policeman are both angry with George for knocking down a telephone pole. 1:09 - The "Accidents Will Happen" music video is playing on that TV, specifically scenes from "A Close Shave For Duck". 2:02 - Toby finally gets his wish to visit Farmer McColl's Farm and see the animals. 3:24 - S.C. Ruffey's face is on that red truck. Also, it looks like one of the Ironworks twins is going to take Annie and Clarabel. 4:22 - That Troublesome Box Van looks like he has a hobo living inside him. 4:32 - The Thin Clergyman. 4:47 - The Admiral from "Thomas and the Treasure" has claimed ownership and taken control of Bulstrode. 4:52 - Bulstrode looks happy to be back in service. 4:57 - Sir Handel, Cora, and a Cattle Truck. 5:07 - Looks like Bulgy got stuck under his bridge again. 5:12 - Elizabeth the Vintage Lorry. We haven't seen her since The Great Discovery. 5:22 - There's Tiger Moth. It looks like he crashed again. 5:32 - Hello, Miss Rosie. Mr. Oliver's on a passenger run, so I'll be your brake van today. 5:47 - Dennis the Lazy Diesel, whom I always thought was named for Dennis the Menace (the American version, not the British one). 6:17 - Sir Topham and Lady Hatt go on holiday.

[@merlinandmurdoch7837]

That Wilbert Awdry figure is cute. (And for the record for the audience, the other Toby model was never stolen, there is one article that barely says anything.)

[@O-DogKubrick]

Where is this special exhibition??

[@JamesProductions-fj4ip]

Drayton manor

[@O-DogKubrick]

@@JamesProductions-fj4ip You sure it’s a mansion? Or a resort? My sources tell me that there’s an amusement park called Drayton Manor Resort. Is that the place where the exhibition is?

[@JamesProductions-fj4ip]

@@O-DogKubrick yes it is, it used to be called Drayton manor theme park but it was renamed to Drayton Manor Resort about 2 years ago

[@ScarfNJam]

6:48 were you aware that somebody threw a bottle of water into the exhibit? You can still see a stain from where it landed, it knocked over the fence of the station, as well as the man on the ladder, not promoting my content, but I do have footage of the bottle in the layout

[@JamesProductions-fj4ip]

It has been fixed

[@ScarfNJam]

@@JamesProductions-fj4ip but did you see the damage yourself?

[@BlueGameMan1857]

That’s so amazing that they added Toby. Here are some other characters that I believe could be added in the future: Flora, Gordon, Duck, Oliver, Donald, Douglas, Stepney, Harvey, Percy, Hank, Molly, Class 40, Boco, Diesel

[@realchristian77010]

Toby's replica's just magnificent. How awesome and cute it looks ^^

[@HENRYTHETHOMASCOLLECTOR]

Doesn’t Thomas props own sir handle are there two small scale sir handle props because I know the large scale prop is somewhere in Japan and Thomas land is not in Japan but his small scale model is owned by Thomas props on Twitter so which ones at Thomas land ?

[@JamesProductions-fj4ip]

[@HENRYTHETHOMASCOLLECTOR]

Oh ok

[@zacharyspinks6207]

This is Amazing, a Nice Replica of Toby.👍

[@gingeronrails]

[@kyleeaton2660]

It's neat that Toby is back, even though it's a different model.
