The plarail streamlined Thomas I have was beyond an amazing item! I love how plarail made him a 2 speed mode

[@fluffyrock2345]

You have literally grown so much as an editor

[@fumo-fumo-fumo]

​​​​@@Thomasoriginalstories-rv7sq Thomas's splasher is not over his wheel in trackmaster revolution which annoys so much. It sucked and nothing will change my mind. Edit: Actually, that trend started in classic trackmaster, where the splasher was slightly ahead of the wheel, in revolution the splasher is barely above the wheel anymore.

[@Thomasremakes55]

Yes

[@fumo-fumo-fumo]

Another criticism I have is them cheaping out, while Tomy and classic trackmaster have a mechanism composed of multiple gears, Revolution has a mechanism composed of 2, A worm drive attached to a motor and gear attached to the axle.

[@ToyFreddyGaming1987]

I'm gonna be honest, the old TOMY Thomas with a completely red running board and unpainted eyes is just adorable to me. He's shaped like a friend.

[@PerpIsPerp]

Same man

[@najibosman6497]

100% with you lad I especially love his early trackmaster rendition where he has the red lining on his dome area

[@AbbeyYard]

He's shaped like a Thomas

[@vincentlutz1411]

ive gotta agree hes a nistaljik so old and it has an weired feeling to me but its so cool

[@a_thomas64]

true

[@tre-engines]

I think the best standard Thomas out of all of them is the 2009 Thomas! It’s not a special variant or anything, but for an almost perfect version of a normal Thomas that’s my favorite! The darker shade of blue looks really good and reminds me of the darker shades in Season 5 and I think the 2009 Fisher Price Thomas did a better job at updating the face than the plarail Thomas even though it doesn’t have the white running board. There are a lot of versions of Thomas and I don’t know which one is the best overall, but anyways I really enjoyed the video!

[@cinnamonmantrainsareawesom7224]

I’m stuck between fisher price and plarail

[@kitskipp]

FACTS

[@GenericStud]

I used to LOVE Thomas growing up 😭Great Vid!

[@swiftengine]

The 2009 fisher price models are a combination of Plarail and HiT Toys. The details of the railing, boilers, and eyes are present and it still keeps the toy-like design by not coloring the running board.

[@Traveltrain24]

That is true

There is only one trackmaster that I did not see and that is the metallic blue steam along thomas which was powered by Annie. But even so, phenomenal video!!

I forgot some of the earlier Plarail and hit ones I think so that's my bad 😞. Glad you enjoyed the vid though!

[@dcmemes4320]

I really enjoyed your content! Ever since I was younger, I really liked the motorized models, and if I would ever get the chance, I would still buy them to this day. Just watching this video brought my childhood back, and I really appreciate it :)

PHENOMENAL video Tons 👏👏👏

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

THANK you Man, high praise from the box designer fr

[@selinapersaud7629]

Hi, sir. This is a really great video, for someone who only got into the series and the corresponding toy lines earlier this year, i’m glad to of been able to learn what all the models were without having to go through a bunch of websites, although, I might still do that anyway just because looking through websites is fun. lol. Just one thing, though, I think you meant to say LBSC, for the London Brighton South Coast railway. My apologies if I wrote that incorrectly, it’s just hard to know how these things are formatted when only using dictation and screen readers with occasional spellchecking.

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

Of course! Thank you very much for enjoying the video! I did mean to say LBSC but I suppose I just mispronounced it and in post production I just put text indicating the correct spelling

Really awesome evolution of these Tomy and Trackmaster/Motorized Thomas models made over the years My favorite models of Plarail is the 2018 version and the forwards and backwards version and my favorite trackmaster/motorized Versions are Talking interactive Thomas from 2020 and 2021 Thomas and Ace the Racer Turbo Thomas And golden Thomas.

[@theturbogamerchannel3971]

Let’s be honest Tomy is the only company here that can make a good real steam Thomas.

[@corysms]

when trackmaster redesigned there trains i was actually mad

[@xl5fan]

Really informative. I did not know that candy dispenser Thomas! Did you get you info about the different variants on the ttte wikia or generally through Google search?

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

all over the place really - Wiki, blueplastictracks.org, Japanese auction sites and google. This vid was mostly srolling through the thomas page on the motorized wiki lol

[@Laserraiser56]

Can we all just admit that the trackmaster revolution Thomas looks more like an E2 which is kinda accurate when you think about it

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

True to be fair ig

[@selinapersaud7629]

Yeah, but to be fair to that, the original creator hated that he was an E2. he wanted a J 50, and that’s why he removed a lot of the E2like features.

[@Vegerot2024]

Hello, Tons. I have some questions for your new Thomas myths series. First off, do the trains have internal organisms? Where do their mouths lead to? Do they have brains. But, that’s just a few, anyways. Looking forward to watching your new series.

[@skeletonboy6628]

this video made feel old 10/10 vid

[@ChrisRot137]

1:04 Why is the drive wheel black? 🤔🤨

[@traintimeboy]

WHO VOTED REVOLUTION?

[@SuperGibaLogan]

the thing i like about the old tomy thomas is that it doesent have those spiky edges around the wheels, unlike the newer trackmaster where theres those spiky edges around the wheels that make it hard to roll the toy with your hand

[@TVManiac_01]

Awesome video! The music use is very good in how it goes from older classical music at the start to more modern music by the end.

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

@@TonsOfTrackmasters also, later on, the paint splattered Thomas magically appears in S tier, I guess he was so insanely powerful that he just got there by himself without you having to introduce him

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

@@SodorStudiosAndCoProductions I think I forgot to record voiceover for the model and put it into the tier list according to the script

[@SomeOnesHome]

This video is good in general and for educational reasons!

[@YourLocalPolishPatriot]

Let's be honest here pals. If you had a lot of The og Thomas And Friends trains you probably did a "worlds strongest engine" or "demolition derby". I olso really like talking trains that are a different style like "Victor comes to Sodor" i remember he had yellow paint and seachells.

[@swinefinder]

In 0:52 the candy dispenser does move it’s a pull back

[@EdwardFries-l6g]

I love Thomas Trackmaster trains

[@Jaeden-Man89]

So, in a nutshell, Plarail kept the model the same while changing the face and decals, while Trackmaster had other plans, and butchered it, basically!

[@JustTomYTreckless]

I'm confuse, some of the ranking like the hero of the rails flip face talking Thomas and some other stuff, is either was forgot to be mention and was just added in the ranking or just put in different rank. like you said the silver thomas one being A but you put it on S, but all in all great video is I agree with your ranking

[@salmonfifty-five]

Plarail Yujin Candy Dispenser Thomas in fact DID move. He had a pullback motor and can run at very fast speeds. A Tier for me ngl

[@reginald_the_craeb2510]

7:00 the picture for that thomas has a normal face. but the one i have has a determined/slightly winking face

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

I assume I used a prototype image made before they changed the face 🤔
