EVOLUTION OF THOMAS WOODEN RAILWAY

This is the EVOLUTION OF THOMAS WOODEN RAILWAY Thomas the tank engine himself! We will uncover everything starting from the evolution of obscure Thomas train designs, train packaging, character cards (US/international), the quality correlation with different codes, and every special edition Thomas trains that were ever made, and we will cover the variant changes in special edition Thomas as well!
If you're a Thomas Wooden Railway fan, then be sure to check out this video! It'll be a fun look at the full history of Thomas Wooden Railway

This video should be renamed to the history of the important things on earth.

[@thomascollectibles]

hahah thanks for watching bro!!! Possibly the most important character out there on earth!

[@carmelabuenrostro7321]

Yep

YES!

@Supertailsswift The Railway series collection is our religion 🤣

[@marcusgear5616]

True

[@leokimvideo]

There's a lot of effort put into this Thomas collection video, but your up against a ruthless AI thats out to pull you down. Be very careful because if there's any sense your entertaining Kids your will be struck down

[@thomascollectibles]

Thank you! Your dedication and perseverance are truly admirable. I recently watched your warning videos on KZbin Kids and found them to be concerning. Another question I ask myself is the potential growth of this niche market and how one can broaden the concept while still remaining within the realm of Thomas the Tank Engine."

[@leokimvideo]

@@thomascollectibles I could detail a really curious change in the way an YTKids appeal happens. Initially I could win every appeal by simply stating my video was produced for a General Audience. Luckily the analytics data supports that. But the AI has become far more ruthless especially in the last 12 months. I do laugh because the appeal process is quite robotic in the time it responds, it has all the hallmarks of zero human interactions. The appeal process seems to ignore a General Audience category. I no longer win any appeals no matter what I point out. Talking price , dropping adult language, explaining it's a product review, explaining the history of a toy or being a collector are no reasons in an argument. All I know is once the YT Kids flag hits the video is dead and hidden away. It's akin to having a video set to private. So it has me wondering exactly what is being served on the YT Kids platform. I have a very sneaky hunch it's all carefully selected BIG end of town productions.

[@leokimvideo]

@@thomascollectibles Maybe something I have noticed is the AI is really good at picking out children in a video. Be it on boxing or as a piece of video. Just be really careful putting in clips that show children, no matter what context they are used in. And I say that because the appeal process ignores any argument of context.

There used to be a store called “learning express” nearby me. My mom would take me there pretty often, and there was a huge wall of just wooden railroad stuff in the back. I have many memories of collecting new characters and rolling stock from the Thomas series. I still have pretty much all of them stored away at my dad’s house. I also had many of the buildings and accessories. This would’ve been the 2000-2003ish era. The day my parents got me a wooden table for my railroad, was one of the best days of my life. My parents also took me to see Thomas at the Cuyahoga scenic railroad a few times.

[@thomascollectibles]

wow! That hits hard! I think a lot of us who grew up with Thomas wooden railway train can relate so much. it's not just the train but it's also the memories and time spent with our parents when we were growing. The feeling that we were taken care of and loved and having fun!

[@NemoTrainz]

@@thomascollectibles yes, exactly! I’m glad you can totally relate. Great video, cheers

[@vehicleandanimalcrossovers]

9:09 That Pull Along Thomas Prototype has black sideroads and a physical whistle (something you never see in Wooden Railway).

aww yes!! I think that's the only one like that among all the thomas's!
