Fun fact James still holds that largest model railroad engine record today

[@Redwagon2012]

He's so big

[@thomasthetrainfan4660]

He is massive

[@Canadiansteamer43]

I actually own the big live tour, thomas Prop. I worked at the junkyard he was sent to, and I saved him, and the models of Bob, Roly, and scoop from the Bob the builder live tour. They now sit in my garage on display and semi restored (thomas 89% repaired), and I managed to get my hands on some spare parts for them, including a full chassis block for thomas (who is missing his left eye so he has an eyepatch).

I used to own the thomas prop until 2021 when i sold his parts to a live tour prop collector.(he was missing several parts including his left eye)

[@A1-Pacific_Sketcher]

I'm glad this video ended on a light hearted note, that towards the ending "where the props are today" was definitely a depressing part to end on, I'm glad it wasn't fully the end. Wonderful video, learned a lot!
