The History Of Sir Topham Hatt & His Models: The History Of TTTE

[@stingky3689]

FINALLY A CLOSE UP OF HIS TINY SCALED MODEL!!!

[@frostboy1263]

Yeah and I was always wondering why his head was so small from far away, I mean I knew he had close and large models but still.

[@FinnGreenland]

little baby man

[@MagicRailroadModels]

Dude, that is like, extremely hard to find a close-up of this small scale model

[@daniel-san-augh]

I was Lowkey expecting a “you have caused confusion and delay” mixed in with the regular chorus of whistles at the end of the video

[@singletona082]

Now that you bring it up that would have been a perfect response to the Mattel reboot.

[@stel7425]

Nice pfp

[@daniel-san-augh]

@@stel7425 thanks, unless you talkin about the other dude that replied lol

[@mattevans4377]

"The models were never featured prominently" Clearly someone forgot about the gem that is "Lady Hatt's birthday party".

[@crimsondynamo615]

I swear that is one of many episodes i use as an introduction to new people in the fandom. It is so funny. Just a never ending barrage of problems for Sir Topham Hatt and the longer it goes on the more hilarious it gets.

[@jacobsumner8111]

Don't forget Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday

[@mattevans4377]

@@jacobsumner8111 That's good too, I just prefer the one I mentioned. I can understand why you might chose that one yourself, some great moments.

[@jacobsumner8111]

@@mattevans4377 I only mentioned it as I feel that almost no one talks about it. I love Lady Hatt's Birthday Party, one of my favorites, but I feel that the other Topham centric episode deserves some love too.

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

There are so many human characters left out of the show. Sir Handel Browne and his son Sir Handel The Second, Mr Mack, Mr Peter Sam and his son Mr Roger Sam, and even Sir Topham's great-grandson Sir Richard Topham Hatt.

[@frostboy1263]

Oh okay, didn’t expect this, nice. Also 4:23 Dead.

Sir Topham Hatt is my favorite character. He has a cool story in the railway series. He is always funny in cgi and has iconic quotes.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

Glad you're back. You can do 'Arry and Bert and their models' history next.

[@tomyoliver2549]

Topham IS going to be in the reboot actually, but he won't be a controller, he'll be a comedian.

[@niyaziaktn1596]

true lol

[@lopwr1212]

lmao

[@marshallhuffer4713]

He's always been my favorite human character. I remember getting nervous when he gave someone a stern talking to for messing up and causing confusion and delay. But I would be happy when someone did a good job and he called them really useful.

[@carlmatthews8338]

Instead of "Hand Sculpted" in Maya I just say mouse sculpted. Loved this video, it's nice to have a series that focuses on all of the engines models and in such great detail too. Love your videos very much and keep up the fantastic work.

[@woolf_animated690]

5:18 i love that sound

[@1981deloreanfan]

He's big, he's back Goes by the name of Sir Topham Hatt

[@patrickwebb7311]

I didn't know the history of the people models, let alone Sit Topham Hatt, thanks for making this TrainBoy.

[@sonicspeedster2684]

Who can imagine all the RWS books or the TVS versions of TTTE without the engines having faces?

[@digitaltoaster4956]

me

[@DocterGeko]

You had EVERY chance to make it like a 1960s American-Italian Mob Boss documentary, 'The Fat Controller, The man, the legend, the model.' All you had to do was add in the Godfather music and the opening was sorted.

[@LBSC_Railway_Production]

This was a great history on Sir Topham Hatt models and history!! I certainly didn't know that in the Railway series there was a whole generation of different types of Sir Topham Hatt!! I always thought Sir Topham Hatt is always the same guy!!

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

Yeah, Charles is never seen, and Stephen remains a child through the entire series.

[@sodorpro]

STH is actually in the reboot, he's said to be the only human that interacts with the engines.

[@johnstewart5437]

Another awesome history video!

[@nateswoodentrainstudios3806]

are you kidding me I missed it why didn't it show up on my recomened list! this isn't fair! 😡 Great video by the way😃👍

[@MagiTailWelkin]

Michael Angelis's voice for the Fat Controller was the best in my opinion.

[@dylanandfriends2051]

Sir Topham Hatt is like a god to the engines

[@jaydenbrownman4181]

the fact stephen is a kid throughout the tv series implies *BERTRAM IS A IMMORTAL GOD*

[@toby070]

1:06 Because nothing says 'father figure' then bricking engines up in tunnels!

[@mr0blivious_677]

3:55 Sir Topham is doing the t pose😂😂

That's an A pose.

This was an amazing video. I completely agree with your opinions.

The last part was a funny ending. Also I started following you on instagram.

[@fastoutnotforkids7192]

@5:15 to the end. Best truth telling i ever heard in my life.

[@wumpus976]

If they ever go back to doing a 3D Thomas series, they should be like the LEGO movie, where it looks like actual models, but done in CGI. Characters like Sir Topham Hatt would have a limited number of poses, to add to the charm.

[@Jamkam-sn9bz]

New idea. Train boy and the unlucky tug video collaboration

[@roboticenby]

I would love an episode with humans playing a major role.

[@stuartsammodels6750]

One positive thing about the reboot. At least they made Thomas railway series accurate from after Thomas comes to breakfast, hence flat running board

[@lonesailordee3886]

Railway series and Tvs crossover discussion???!!!😱😱😱😱

[@Badumpop]

I still don't get why people see him as a cruel dictator, he's just a man trying to run a railway with Troublsome engines...

[@AbrahamBenno]

5:15 Come along Henry, it’s time your train was ready.

[@vitalitylimited]

Sir Charles Topham Hatt II be like: "Ladies and Gentlemen! My name! Is Paul! Heyman!"

[@owendinostudios1200]

He is gonna be in the reboot, just as a background character I think

[@mikewellsworth5477]

he is in the reboot, for comic relief

Hector,Bertie the break down crane or the Chinese dragon should be next.

[@BunkerChapa08]

The craziest people are the drivers and firemen since they somehow are safe after a crash

[@PlowBenderStudios]

The former KZbinr CombineHarvester01 apparently owns a closeup model of Sir Topham Hatt, although I'm not sure on all the details. It's probably been a good 8-10 years since he got it and his whereabouts are very much unknown to me.

[@jaywinslett1987]

Did you know in TATMR Sir Topham Hatt was originally gonna have a live action appearance but it didn’t happen because they couldn’t find an actor of the right size

[@movieguru1296]

Has anyone ever figured out why he stands on top of so many boxes and barrels in the television series to talk to the engines?? The most dangerous setup IMO was “The Sad Story of Henry” as they are building the wall in the tunnel!

[@ashsquest1235]

So he can be closer to their faces while scolding them

[@Richardpathos]

Interesting!

[@napsbrickrailways2290]

Trainboy, why does the thumbnail topham look like he's on some sort of register? Luv u x 😂

[@jettlefleur1807]

I wonder who the next history video will be on

[@bladeobrian2144]

What episode is 2:20 from? Also, even in the good seasons of the CGI era, I never cared for how Topham and the other humans looked/moved in CGI, They basically just redid the model figures in CGI. I’d personally go for a more Pixar-esqu design.

[@marioelimunoz5678]

One day he was having breakfast. And Thomas decided to call!

[@Lighting_Desk]

Is there a video on everything we know on the reboot so far?

[@jaylenware363]

I have a book in which Sir Topham Hatt has a flashback to when he was a little boy, and him and his father are traveling with a horse and cart, but it breaks. Stepney comes along, and Topham Hatt and his father have to ride on the coal car Stepney is pulling. They never mention the father’s name though. (Tbh, I’m not even sure this book is canon, cuz I doubt that Stepney could’ve been on Sodor before season 1takes place, let alone decades before.). The book is called Thomas-saurus Rex (geddit?)

[@lapiswake6583]

I really need to re-read the books. I have 3 copies of the complete collection (books 1-26, all the Rev. W Awdry's books), plus hardback copies of books 1-6 in a box plus 7, 11, 27, and 30, plus a few random copies like a 12th edition hardback copy of book 2 from 1953, a 1994 book club edition of book 2, and several different novelisations of the tv show. I also need to re-watch the tv show, since I haven't seen more than half way through series 9.

[@JeremieEinstien]

i don't know whether you forgot about this, but a modified CGI model of Sir Topham Hatt all pumped up on Juice was made for a Studio Hansa film called "The Thomas and Friends Institute of Innovation". Apparently, the film was made to advertise the Thomas and Friends IP to studios other than HIT Entertainment. The lab technicians apparently took issue with him being a "Fat Controller" and made him get in shape...The SWOLE Controller?!? lol

[@ironcityrailfan8467]

Nice!

[@AbrahamBenno]

I think it’s a good move from the TV Series to make just one character named Sir Topham Hatt rather than a line of ancestry.

[@chrismodelrailcustoms7272]
