Tomy's AWFUL Narrow Gauge Engines

[@MTI_thomas]

I forgot Mighty Mac . . . Oops 😅 He's pretty good considering he has two ends. Prob my second favorite next to Freddie.

[@Simurated]

hey, you should make a custom set based on heave ho thomas

[@Julia-i2m5u]

Mighty Mac and Freddie are the only ng engines I like tbh.

[@harrisonallen651]

Mighty Mac was unique knowing how his model can flip positions plus the model isn’t battery powered.

[@mr.needlenose]

What about the SPEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNN

[@jenniferozapata]

To be honest, if you wanna make very accurate scaling for the narrow gauge engines just buy the capsule playrail and boom accurate scaling

Mate you forgot mighty mac

[@TheGlooSniffer]

I really don’t understand half of these complaints. None of Tomy’s engines were “proportionally accurate.” Was James the same length as Gordon in the show? Was Percy the same length as Thomas? Was Diesel 10 shorter than Toby? No. Every Tomy and Trackmaster model took some liberties with the length and height of the engines to make them work with the system. You also kept pointing out bad detailing, but I don’t really see what was missing on some of them. I don’t have many Tomy engines (I’m more of a Wooden Railway guy) but the Tomy engines I do have aren’t exactly Bachmann models. They’re simplified versions of Thomas characters, and I don’t see how these ones are any different. ~ Marco Rubio

This is my issue with this video. Yes, the narrow gauge toys aren't proportionate, but like you said, a majority of the Motorized line isn't proportionally accurate. If the narrow gauge engines aren't accurate, what about Thomas himself? Every single one of his models has always been stretched out , especially the very first tomy model in the 90's (which is still being manufactured that way today). Toys that ARE perfectly proportionate are very rare (i.e Neville, Dennis), and I don't expect the narrow gauge engines (props that gave even the show producers trouble with filming the first time) to be perfect. However, I do agree with some of the complaints like lack of moving siderods or extreme cases of inaccuracy such as Rusty's face or Duncan's length. But overall, I'm very happy we even got all the engines made. While yes, most are missing important details, Tomy Plarail didn't even make some of them (Duke, Bertram, Peter Sam, Sir Handel, Proteus, Rheneas). Furthermore, knowing what the motorized line has become as of today, I'm thankful for the both the models and detailing we DID get.

[@MoleculeMind7]

Correct. These content creators are stupid

[@TobyOliverHenryFan]

5:33 That's not a boiler! That's his saddle tank! 7:06 Again, that's his tank. But it isn't a saddle this time. But you can see Luke's boiler or firebox before the cab, unlike Duke's, which is completely covered by the saddle. Saddle=Saddle Tank

[@joshuaW5621]

I guess it still kinda counts since the boiler is underneath the tank.

[@TobyOliverHenryFan]

@joshuaW5621 Yeah, but in this case he's specifically talking about the tank.

[@supremegalaxycentral]

My goat, doesn’t post just on a Monday. We’ve hit the perfecto immaculeto timeline

[@trakkKonnektin]

I didn’t even notice Peter Sam was missing wheels bc the model looked so good

[@karenfan010]

I’ve recently been imagining what the narrow gauge would’ve been like if they were tack master push alongs because those are a lot smaller than regular track master which which is more accurate to the models and real life.

[@merlinandmurdoch7837]

I think the main point of them being bad because they are disproportionate does not have aleg to stand on, as these issues apply to basically the entire Plarail - Motorised range, there are plenty of non-narrow gauge characters that also have shape issues, so I think these toys having them should be expected and ignored. Duke and the Falcons really are not fat, I think it's the whole toy being oversized. Rusty is entirely based on the small model, as evident by the different shaped front bonnet, I think the face being oversized would be because there would be too much dead space from it and the edge of her body. Peter Sam does not have six wheels because his Season Eight ruler pictures were used where he was missing them due to refurbishment. Rheneas would be even bigger if he used Percy's motor, about Duncan's size then. Duke did not have a painted bufferbeam in his references, so naturally the toy never did either, but his original release did have windows. Also, is Mighty Mac in a league of his own?

[@SodorTrain1225]

Am I the only one who thinks that Mattel's animation team based their Duncan render off the TrackMaster toy. *sigh*

[@partyup210productions7]

It was actually the Take Along Model. Maybe the face was trackmaster, but the model was take along

[@merlinandmurdoch7837]

I am positive you are the only one, that makes no sense and does not line up.

[@SodorTrain1225]

@merlinandmurdoch7837 It was a satirical comment. Apologies if it sounded serious.

wat happened to mighty mac?

[@CrazyThomasFan]

This is Awful Narrow engines, mighty Mac is too good for this video

[@puppetme6316]

[@Gregory_ferrandis]

He's peak

[@Julia-i2m5u]

Mighty Mac was to peak to be here

[@D.D.D.STUDIO]

Mighty Mac are so good is doesnt deserve a video it deserve a one hour long video talking about mighty Mac toys because they are a legend

[@ThomasSirHandel]

How I'd fix them Skarloey = Keep as is but with moving siderods Rheneas = Taller funnel, correct orange, moving siderodes, use Luke's drive unit Sir Handel and Proteus = Keep as is Peter Sam = Keep as is but with moving siderods Rusty = Make based on Season 4 design but with Luke's drive unit for accurate cab Duncan = Keep as is but use Luke's drive unit Duke = Keep as is, not sure if siderodes would fit on the model with the cab in the way Luke = Use Plarail for both regions Victor = Trackmaster shape and drive unit but with Plarail's details

[@ThomasFan-fu9xd]

What about Mighty Mac, what’s your opinion on their Tomy/Trackmaster Model?

[@andreiemanueltudose2445]

They are the goat that's why

[@Julia-i2m5u]

[@andreiemanueltudose2445]

@@Julia-i2m5u Yes sir

[@deadertonbreaderton]

i could try and make a tomy oliver skarloey edit: just need a skarloey first...

[@Funni_robloxtrain]

The only two narrow gauge engines in this range that are bad are Rusty and Duncan, everyone else is just mid. Skarloey is one of the better ones in my opinion, mainly because I had him since I was very young and still in good condition. I agree with your take on Freddie, he actually benefits from being so long because he is long in the first place. I was also not the biggest fan of the plarail victor either lol

[@LondonYoung3751]

My thoughts: Skarloey- Would've been better if they put Oliver's siderods on him, but overall it's pretty good. 8/10 Rheneas- Would've been better if THE SIDERODS ACTUALLY MOVED 6/10 Sir Handel- Despite being an 0-4-0 here, I'm at least glad they actually bothered the mold his trailing wheels. But why can't they be consistent with his wheel coloring??? 7/10 Peter Sam- Okay, why didn't you mold his trailing wheels, Tomy?!? 4/10 Rusty- Ohhh nah 2/10 Duncan- WHY IS HE SO LONG BUT THE DETAILS ARE ACTUALLY GOOD- 3/10 Freddie- The best narrow gauge engine of the Tomy toyline, 100% agree with you 10/10 Duke- I do like the fact they modelled him after prop-reference photos, but he's pretty decent 6.5/10 Victor- The trackmaster one's better (Plarail: 7/10; Trackmaster: 9/10) Luke- The plarail one's alright, the trackmaster one is below average (Plarail: 7/10; Trackmaster: 5.5/10)

[@LuthortheBlackEngineAlt]

This is why I'll stick with using Wooden Railway for Narrow Gauge engines, or ERTL, or Take Along/Take N' Play to say the least.

[@ezekiel09]

Mighty Mac was just too great for this video

[@TomyTrackmasterCam28]

It would have been awesome if Tomy made a special Narrow Gauge system. Like new track, engines, destinations, etc. they might have even been able to use the Capsule Plarail motorized chassis for them

[@Jeisr4207-bc5ui]

Why not use the take along models instead

[@Simurated]

You should make a custom set based on Heave Ho Thomas, if you have Hank

[@joshuaW5621]

If Plarail and Trackmaster did Railway Series characters, I wonder how Ivo Hugh and the Culdee Fell engines would look.

[@mayohoskotwrandttte]

Thomas should tell the narrow gauge engines they’re too *FAT* they need exercise. Way too inconsistent and disproportionate

[@bryceknowles1380]

OG Tomy and classic Trackmaster was where it’s at for me. I remember the Target on Roosevelt rd having them.

[@TMSBeyblade]

AN EARLY RELEASE. WTF IS THIS

[@SPG69]

I feel like they should’ve just did what they did with Harvey and have the engines be unmotorized and be pushed along by a motorized coach/slate truck/gunpowder van, hell that’s what they did with Mighty Mac and couldn’t have been that hard Trackmaster/Tomy Harvey has great proportions, yes would the NG engines be the same or similar dive to Harvey? Yes but would you rather have Harvey be the same size as Skarloey or have Rusty be the size of a brick? TLDR someone make 3D prints of the NG engines at the same scale as Tomy Harvey please : )

[@Boojackp]

0:53 THAT WAS AN IDEA THAT I HAD

[@dol-idris]

Honestly I don't think they're that bad. Growing up as a little kid i always thought the static side rods were a fair trade off for getting accuracy instead, especially characters like belle or freddie who have that sweet silver paint on them, and super detailed outside motion. I never liked the generic side rods they used on most either, they don't really look like any engine's motion. I distinctly remember being really upset when i was five because thomas's rods didn't actually connect to all the wheels like they're supposed to. And really, the standard gauge engines aren't scaled that well either even in comparison. If you were held the rest of them to the standards shown here, you eould be failing pretty much every trackmaster. I've always preferred rheneas's toy colors, it's a very deep rich violet similar to dolgoch's pre 2015 livery, and the boiler banding is pretty elaborate too. I get that rusty is bad and that there's no good reason for them to be distorted like that, but there's something about their trackmaster that has a certain character to it that I can't really dislike it. Sir Handel is really the only one i take issue with.

[@StationFilms12345]

Honestly... I can't disagree My favorite one so far (in no particular order) Is: Duke Freddie Luke(both versions you mentioned) Victor(also both versions you mentioned) And Bertram But even then they're kind of suck Tomy plarail is pretty cool but I think that what would have made them even cooler is if they made a small scale range for the ng railway Like smaller engines with smaller boundaries and such It is possible judging by some types of "Trackmaster knockoffs" out there Y'know the one that just has random decals as detailing Low quality Plenty of versions of other characters that have nothing to do with Thomas Not sure if you know what I'm talking about but I think the narrow gauge engines should have been that And in case they can't do that, then well at least make them into push along models Kinda like TM push along, yeah it would suck that they can't move by themselves but at least they are proportionally accurate and small This could also be said to Mike Of TM2 honestly

[@guillermofiliano1424]

I do kinda agree that the narrow gauge engines were one of the weaker characters from Tomy and trackmaster but I don’t hate them except for Rusty and Duncan. You know what I would rather have, capsule plarail narrow gauge engines.
