[@Thomas-Shorts]

Im Super Happy To See Drayton Mayor Is Taking Better Care Of The Thomas Models!!!

I really like how accurate the replicas look so close to the original props also are any other engines being added before the end of the year like percy and Gordon

[@davidbutler7897]

Also how come Henry was taken off the layout?

[@davidwhiting1761]

Aren't these the real props? I thought that was supposed to be the whole draw for the layout.

[@davidbutler7897]

@davidwhiting1761 the ones that are on sidings are the original props like salty Spencer Bert and Dennis but the rest are replicas

0:22 - Edward's brake van has a crooked face (And I still think it looks like the Spiteful Brake Van's face on Toad's body). 1:22 - I hope Spencer has no hard feelings towards Edward after losing the race to the Duke and Duchess of Boxford's summer house. 1:37 - Toby finally gets his wish of visiting Farmer McColl's Farm. 1:43 - Toad is Rosie's brake van today since Oliver is out on a passenger run. 1:56 - Season 6's "The Fogman" is playing on that TV in the background. 2:07 - That Troublesome Box Van also has a crooked face. 3:41 - Rusty, Caroline, and the Clowns. 4:01 - Jem Cole is mad at George for knocking down the telephone pole. 4:26 - Butch the Tow Truck is at the garage for a tune-up. 4:35 - There's Dennis the Menace... I mean Dennis the Lazy Diesel. 5:30 - Bulgy is stuck under his bridge again. His driver is going to turn him into a henhouse again once he's dislodged. 5:36 - The Thin Clergyman. 5:46 - Lorry 1.

Great to see Diesel at the exhibit! 😊

[@hornbyman4474]

That’s really good

[@quboss2008]

Models are nice but the builder of diesel just ripped files for printing without asking anyone

[@trainboy7]

They should make some more brakevan replicas for this layout.

[@BlueGameMan1857]

They added diesel, yes! I knew they would add him next

[@jamesthomas5109]

The Tugs music is amazing, such a classic show. Shame it ended it early, wish it had continued. Hopefully the fandom can create our own stories to carry on the legacy of the show. 😊

[@niceeli2749]

They added a diesel replica?

[@RAILTECHCHASER]

Nice, you spotted Rusty and Sir Handel.

[@Stepney2009]

I don’t know if you remember but I met you on the 6th August at the exhibition about an hour before the park closed but I remember you saying there would be some new things on the display

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

They added devious diesel 😊😊

[@ollieticehurst2690]

I’m not sure if you noticed but Elizabeth’s face has come off,

[@JamesProductions-fj4ip]

@@ollieticehurst2690 yes I do

[@ollieticehurst2690]

@@JamesProductions-fj4ip I guess you’ve fixed it by now

[@SBDC_YT]

i wonder if there's even any original engines left after the replica take-over.

[@TheKaidynB]

Just to let you know the link to your IG in the description is broken :)

[@ThomasTenCents34526]

[@JamesProductions-fj4ip]

[@jamesthomas5109]
