*Happy 16th anniversary to ToyTrains4U🎂🎈🎉* (Yes that is today) Hey all, Sorry for not uploading in a while, This video has taken simply *ages* to put together as I have been scriptwriting, researching, and am now using photoshop and premiere pro (If you are wondering why this vid looks better than my others, that's why) nevertheless, enjoy my first "documentary"

[@Toytrains4uCoUk]

Thank you Tons for the Anniversary wishes and for being chosen as the subject of your first documentary. It was a pleasure to help out with a few facts but where you got so much information from yourself is mind blowing. Well done and good luck.

[@DemolitionDerbyChaosShorts]

@@Toytrains4uCoUk This is the most exciting video by Tons and I can't wait!

[@Wildbean1]

Congrats to the ToyTrains4U!

[@Wildbean1]

​@@Toytrains4uCoUk What an amazing collab! And Happy 16th anniversary to your wonderful channel!

[@bananapudingtheclownhorsie]

Hi

[@tudorbrancuturcu5996]

Toy Trains 4u was the First Thomas KZbinr I have EVER Watched back in 2019. There are 4 words to describe this video: Nostalgic, Amazing, Informative and Legendary. I have fond memories of watching his videos in late-2019 - 2020. Thank you for making this awesome video

[@joshuaW5621]

I miss the days when KZbin was kind to this fandom.

[@dr.pepper45]

Toytrains4u, ThomasWoodenRailway, and Leokimvideo were dominating thomas youtube community in the early to mid 2010’s

[@andrewbrohm9304]

For real

[@IcyDraco10]

Yeah those Thomas channels were my childhood back then

[@leokimvideo]

My channel was destroyed by endless demonetizations and the whole KZbin Kids idea, oh yeah Legal threats from Lego was another fun thing to deal with

[@thisisxavier17]

​@leokimvideo yes, yt were not kind to u. I think I speak for a lot of thomas fans when I say I'm sorry this happened to you Leo.

[@lukasinfinitybin]

This channel is my childhood! Tho, i never knew about the ebay bussiness.

[@omarvazquez4075]

If i knew i would of bought some of their engines

[@TracksideManiac]

Does Tons still use Discord? I haven't been able to contact him through there for a while...

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

Ah, my old account got terminated lol. I don't really use it anymore at all

[@TracksideManiac]

@@TonsOfTrackmasters So thats what happened... Sorry to hear about that man.

[@TonsOfTrackmasters]

@Too Much Toby no yes that one I have but really don't use anymore

[@Boxman4532]

I really loved this channel when I was young but nowadays I don’t watch it’s videos that often

[@AlexsStopMotionAdventures]

Because they kinda became a generic kids channel

[@ItsCarlos563]

ToyTrains4u is an childhood classic channel.

[@ABTFFanboy]

Along with Disney collector, BLU Toys Club, DisneyCarToys, and/or, ToysReviewToys are the best of the best for toy channels but they deleted all their original content forever but ToyTrains4u is still a long living toy channel forever.

[@Its_PacFan]

This video was really well made! I do appreciate all the information about what is seemingly just a generic kids channel on KZbin.

[@loisthevelociraptor5401]

We can all agree, even though they're a kids channel, they're a good one at that.

[@ThomasandCraigoftheCreekStudio]

Happy 16th Anniversary to ToyTrains4u! (2007-2023)

[@loading470]

I don’t mind coppa marking Thomas videos My only problem is them turning off comments Like I used to watch ramaphool videos all the time, and seeing all the comments were awesome Now the videos just feel empty

[@bungieman2810]

The best quote in any movie ever... "Uh oh!"

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

I am down for them toys if the funnlings

[@DianaSttar]

This is so crazy that you got to do a history of TT4U Tons! I absolutely loved TT4U as a kid and seeing this video finally come out and be better than I thought it was going to be was also super cool!

[@Rick123X_4]

ToyTrains4U Is Half My Childhood.

[@rayryde1724]

2016 was the year I found this channel

[@onetrackmind3558]

Memories. They deserve a lot or credit.

[@PeachyFanboy]

Before my love for Mario games, this was that KZbin channel I watched so much the past decade Like I can't even remember when I started watching this channel, I Did lost some interest, but these guys are alongside WiiLikeToPlay my childhood channel

[@duckfromgwr]

Hey, what about made video about jar111s?

[@StumpyFunnel]

I made my profile tom moss for this day

[@Wildbean1]

Wow Tons, can't wait! 🎉

[@TheHistorian2003]

He was one of those First Thomas KZbinrs that I watched when I was a kid back in the past.

[@EdwardsDayOut]

God the nostalgia This video was worth the wait, great work

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

ToyTrains 4u is something that I had a pretty good place in my heart of its content of videos.

[@TTTEoliverFan]

Amazing job Tons, bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rodrix_A238]

Hello, I just come to inform you that ToyTrains4u was also my childhood with leokimvideo and I had never seen thomaswoodenrailway at the time.

[@isaiahvang144]

This is and still pure nostalgia!

[@ThomasTherobloxwoodentrain]

I will say they where in there peak around 2017

[@thepurplemyth]

Excellent documentary tons

[@merlinandmurdoch7837]

I still watch the channel as a guilty pleasure

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

Very impressive

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

Good job on this Video

[@ahmedtowing1193]

Wow, I didn’t know all of this about Toy trains 4u

[@DiscoverGuy]

Toy Trains 4u is underrated

[@ABTFFanboy]

Toytrains4u is also my childhood.

[@IcyDraco10]

Same

[@Kittysquadfan2009]

Dude tons he got better ideas for that

[@engineboy53productions15]

Amazing.

[@CaptainTom4862]

I've watched TT4U since 2013, and the nostalgia hits hard, Ian Phillips is very kind to have helped with 2 of your videos, it warms my heart to know that they care about their community and their older audience. It's surreal to know that the channel is 16 years old, that's making me feel old

[@Jacklenihanforeshew]

I mostly watch toy trains 4u for a plot but I do really enjoy it

[@LondonTransport466]

Man, I used to watch that channel all the time when I was a kid. ☺️

[@ItsCarlos563]

Hype!

[@rayryde1724]

Along with trains are fun, I grew up with toy trains 4 u

[@IcyDraco10]

So much nostalgia from that channel

[@himko715]

Nostalgia

[@thebigtrainguy]

I hate modern day Toytrains4u!

[@allenginesgofan101iambeing4]

And I love modern day Toytrains4u! But I respect how you feel

[@romycarldelacruz1980]

To me I kinda like it. The modern stuff may be unrealistic but it is very entertaining

[@stingky3689]

Hate is a big word yk

[@YummyBrowniebread]

I agree but the modern is all right

[@omarvazquez4075]

I like it when it usted the old tracks and old stories, now it's just boring

[@Thomasfacts-sf7tq]

anyone one the name of the red ghost train from tt4u

[@Toytrains4uCoUk]

It's a Tomy train which was sold originally with the Tomy animal express

[@Trainfan123]

4:06

[@stingky3689]

The thing i dont really like about them now is that the they use tm2 layouts and engines and no longer making huge awesome layouts again. I much prefer the minions than the funlings, as the minions are just funny small idiots that tom moss can manipulate. Also iirc they dont talk much The funlings are... kinda weird. Maybe im just not used to them but i think i just like the old videos where the engines just talk to each other while the narrator is explaining stuff

[@RetroToldMeIHaveDaddyIssues]

Ay tons it’s been awhile (it’s Smudger/Diesel 10) I wanted to talk to you on discord if it’s alright I wanna say something

[@aukws7-jp2mg]

5:40 That was my first video I watch on ToyTrain4U
