Thomas Wood Prototype Train Collection: History and Evolution of Thomas

[@MrBnsftrain]

I'm glad you were able to find these! Quite a few people have Belle, but hardly anyone had the rest. The unpainted sheds, the other hospital pieces, and most of the other set pieces are the same as the painted releases There's also a Farm Rosie, most of the castle pieces, and possibly Rebecca have unpainted prototype versions while it seems Salty, Rusty, Stanley, Charlie, Stephen, Flying Scotsman, Gator, Beau, Belle, Rocky, three sets, and possibly Ferdinand, Connor, and Rajiv had unreleased painted versions.

[@thomascollectibles]

thanks for sharing! I didn't know Salty, Rusty and Charlie had more variants available! As a matter of fact, Stephen does have two unpainted variants!

Hi

[@clairehogan4268]

I've been thinking about if there's a wood lexi and theo

[@clairehogan4268]

Also I liked Toby s prototypes I think that is interesting.

[@briandesens144]

​@@thomascollectibles I will be getting beau and Ferdinand

[@NeilFan18]

My man is the king of prototypes at this rate! Rlly awesome video dude.

[@thomascollectibles]

Thanks man! 👊

[@gustavodemestres6063]

8:08 finding in wifi the sets for thomas and his friends with or without frankie and other etiennie, 18!😂 i love our channel review video.

[@eclipsedgayass]

You’re that guy that got the Ferdinand of ebay. Also I knew that intro was mr beast styled. Nice vid man!

[@thomascollectibles]

Hah! Thanks man!

[@Kukaak]

Apparently the face on Mr Jolly's coach is based on Henrietta's, and I definitely see the resemblance

[@thomascollectibles]

I actually did not know that! Thanks for sharing! Come to think of it, it does look like Henrietta!

[@MatTheSoundless]

Here's hoping the unpainted Frankie pops up someday, along with a lot of the other prototypes- ^^

[@thomascollectibles]

I hope so too!! one of these days!! 🤞

I would do unspeakable things for the beau and flying Scotsman prototypes

[@Andrew_I_Exist]

The only Thomas Wood model I would have bought would be the Flying Scotsman. In my opinion, you can make changes like this to save money, but what's the point if no one wants to buy it?

[@thomascollectibles]

oh man! that's a way better punchline Andrew! It fits in a lot better! Thanks for the feedback! 👊

[@thegoldenwagonoriginals328]

I really hope that you get those canned items that you are missing!

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

Thomas Wood was an inferior replacement to Thomas Wooden Railway for many reasons. Late 2017 in general was when Mattel made decisions that hurt Thomas more than help it. In addition to the Thomas Wood line, they also pulled the TV show from PBS, where not once, but twice Thomas had a comfortable home (yes, I'm counting the Shining time Station spin-off), pulled Edward and Henry from the Steam Team in favor of Nia and Rebecca, made DVD releases more scarce, and made the All Engines Go! spin-off, which was a disgrace to the legacy that the Rev. W. Awdry and Britt Allcroft spent decades building up. At least Thomas Wooden Railway has been brought back to positive reception. I hope the 2022 Wooden Railway line continues well into 2023 and the following years.

[@thomascollectibles]

Well said my man! I really hope they continue the wooden railway line as well 🤞🏻

[@davidaviles1754]

I was 14 when I saw these, I was never into those, but I think I enjoy it mose of the time, but I was thinking those cancelled Items actually survived from Collectors or eventually Being stolen from the factory and sold them online

[@thomascollectibles]

Yes! I believe there are still some other trains out there we might never get to see as well.

[@briandesens144]

Awesome video

Thanks Brian!! 👊

[@klowell19]

the truth of why Thomas Wood is so cheap is because Mattel thought us Wooden Railways fans are dumb

[@thomascollectibles]
