Thomas The Tank Collection 13 Mini ERTL Trains Thomas & Friends GOLD

A neighbours yard sale becomes toy hunters Thomas and Friends GOLD. Finding an old Thomas Wooden Railway bag led to the discovery of one of the most difficult Thomas The Tank train sets to find. Now I can present the amazingly beautiful ERTL miniature playset which includes, Thomas The Tank, Percy, James, Bill & Ben, Duck, Bertie and Sodor Island in a compact playset. This video was made before I saw the new Thomas and friends MINIS, which are a new toy thats hopefully as amazing as the classic miniature ERTL. There you will see a Subway Percy, Japanese Tomica TOMY Thomas The Tank and near mint condition ERTL Thomas The Tank. There is a bag of wooden railway track which has some old engines hiding inside. A very old wooden railway Thomas The Tank and Edward. There is also a TOMY pull back James which has moving eyes. Another shoe box revealed a fun jigsaw styled toy train set and a fire and rescue fire engine one. At the yard sale there was a classic vintage Sony cassette recording Walkman. I remember these from years ago and they were not cheap. I was given this item after it did not sell and after a little look on e-bay I find it's worth a fair bit of money. This Sony Walkman has been returned to it's original owner now. Then we look at two mystery Thomas The Tanks which are near identical apart from the years and who made them. HiT Toy Company is the 2007 Thomas, Mattel is the 2009 Thomas. But these toy trains were given to me as not working. After a web search I noticed a Mattel Thomas which had the white detailing thats so often missing. That clue let me know it's a Whistle & Go Thomas. In fact both are. Then it's time for a Thomas musical treat via the large TOMY musical playing Thomas The Tank, this is the second of these amazing Thomas toys I have now. A youtuber asked me to put a checkout Cranky on the miniature ERTL playset, looks like it's a marriage made in toy town heaven. During the video I look at an e-bay auction of 73 ERTL's and we see a result before the fail reel.

i remember when you first found that mini ertl clarabel years ago in your charity shop videos, then the engines, then the full set here. being all snug in a blanket with my take alongs around me watching these videos on my old tablet seeing it all come full circle and seeing you get the full set was always awesome. i get a real warm and comfy feeling whenever i come back to these videos man they were a huge part of my childhood, hell a lot of the filmmaking tricks i use in videos now i learned from you this is as real as real content gets.

[@TrainzXtreme]

Good to have my internet up and running again so I can watch these videos! The ertl minis are awesome, though I've always preferred toy lines that rely on real track/train interactions-with both ertl and take and play, the engines don't really ride on the rails, instead behaving more like cars. Those whistle Thomas are strange-having stuff so important to the set but not indicated is silly! Keep up the videos! (Also I still don't understand the brand rage... Must have been before my time)

I had one of those jigsaw train sets when I was a kid. Not sure if it was exactly the same as the one you've got there, but it was certainly similar. The same shade of yellow and similar designs on it. I've probably still got it somewhere, but it'll be buried in a box towards the bottom of the pile behind the cupboard. Getting those out is a fairly big job, so it's unlikely to be touched until next time I have to find an old toy or finally decide to sell some stuff. As for the mini ERTLs, that is an amazing find. Easily worth over $100-$130 for the lot, though I'm not sure I'd want to pay that much for them unless I had it to spare.

[@MrBnsftrain]

I remember seeing a flashlight Thomas. It was made by Little Tikes. Mattel made a similar one, along with a Percy. I remember a music-playing Thomas, but it pulled a truck, which stored the other discs.

[@montagueduck4845]

Excellent job Leo! Can't wait for ep. 14! Also, the wooden railway models (from 1992-2000) did not have their names on the bottom, that engine was indeed Edward. And in 2001 they gave them the names on the bottom.

[@leokimvideo]

Montagueduck48 There is something really nice about the early Thomas Wooden stuff, I think it's the faces that make it right

[@montagueduck4845]

The old items from the 90s made the faces spot on, the faces just screamed their personality, it may also be the fact that the items incorporated more wood, and not as much plastic.

[@leokimvideo]

Montagueduck48 Your spot on, there is a rustic character to that early wood stuff

[@leokimvideo]

Montagueduck48 I am starting to understand why people hunt down the early Thomas wooden railway characters, Vs what's served up today the old ones have real charm that can't be bought today.

[@montagueduck4845]

Luckily I see lots of this stuff on eBay for cheap prices, these old items are very well worth the hard earned cash

This was great to watch Leo! I remember these playsets because I bought, and indeed still have quite a lot of it. Each piece came with an engine and two ramps.. Bertie with the Level crossing Thomas, Annie and Clarabel with the station James with the siding and signal box Edward with the loop line Percy or Duck (can't remember) with the engine shed Bill and Ben with the viaduct pieces Harold and the airfield Trevor and a windmill That's from memory, I'd have to look the rest up. I can do a video on them if you're interested in seeing them?

Really enjoyed this video, going back to the playset it is a shame kids today don’t get quality items. I work for a Steam Railway in the UK and when it’s time for the Day Out With Thomas I always have a look at the merchandise and it’s disheartening to see the tat that kids get today. I wish Ertl were still making the diecast models as there last few from season 7 were some of the best ever made.

[@EuanEchidhog]

Great find with the mini Ertl Thomas playset. Most of it looks in very good condition (especially with the house next to the level crossing as those numbs snap off rather easily). Thinking of getting any of the other pieces one day?

This video brought back some memories! I remember when you could get the Thomas play sets in modular form. My grandparents bought me 2 from Woolworths and one was definitely the engine shed and turntable. I don't remember it having any ramps. I'm pretty sure that James was the only character that came with that particular module. My 3 yr old little girl is a Thomas nut and I wish I still had the toys from my childhood to pass on to her.

[@thelittlebrightonshunter]

[@Richlarrousse-JS41]

Cool, i have never seen a full set of those Ertl minis, I remember them being advertised in toy magazines back in the early 90s, but never saw them for sale anywhere, The only time i saw anything of these was when the engines were reissued and sold separately as key-rings around 1994-95. I guess they weren't big sellers and are rare as hens teeth now, Thanks for showing us these little pieces of nostalgia :)

[@stevenhall477]

Hi there was a 11 piece full set brand new on eBay quite recently cheers Steven.

[@GarrettTaylorLeedy]

If you can't find the date on some of the older Thomas the Tank Engine wooden railway engines. Check on their wheels. I've been to some train shows in my lifetime and I've seen a few with dates on the wheel the old ones do. I live in the United States of America. Thomas Trackmaster train set I've seen the price for round almost $10 US dollars for a starter train set. For bigger said strange about $100.

Leo definitely knows his ERTLs am I right?

[@ylwpyro9549]

I remember having that guiness-toy train as a kid. Except my train was blue, yellow and black. It was also a clockwork powered train, but the track was the same color. I also remember that there was a version with an airplane, and that you could arrange the track any way you wanted. I think that a toy like that does have some use- it can teach children about building and problem solving, and teaches them that there is sometimes more than one way to solve a problem. After they do solve the problem, they're rewarded by getting to see the train go around the track. A very basic toy, but a great one, in my opinion.
