- Thank you @cartycinema and @TheStarSwitcher for including the original prop Peter Sam O gauge model in @unlikelyfandom. @ThomasTankMerch and @TomsProps, the full set of series 4 narrow gauge engines are accounted for! Follow @OGThomasFan for more on #PeterSam
- Happy New Year everyone! It's always a pleasure spending time with @ThomasTankMerch. And we can get most of the season 4 narrow gauge gang back together once again. The little engines enjoy it just as much as we do
- Guess what day it is? It's Hump Day! Mike Mike Mike. The Ertl Mike prototype is apart of the @OGThomasFan collection
- Thomas the Tank Engine narrator @AlecBaldwin reunited with the Peter Sam prop at @Steelcitycon. Earlier with Britt Allcroft, TV creator, at a NY screening of @unlikelyfandom, a feature-length documentary taking an intimate look at the series impact on a generation of adult fans.
- I loved Alec Baldwins reaction to seeing a tenmille truck (not screen used) and getting ready to sign its side along with a few Ertls and Thomas and the Magic Railroad DVD
- After a very busy 2 weeks of Peter Sam being on display at the special showing of @unlikelyfandom and an impromptu visit for a special meet and greet at Steel City Con, back into storage he goes
- Peter Sam enjoyed pulling the blue coaches again after many years. He didn't forget the refreshment lady! All are screen used props.
- This wooden Thomas was supposedly a store display at UK bookstore Waterstones. For size comparison, 2 Toys R Us store displays are behind. It has a railway series vibe. A hole is in the coal bunker for a pole that could hold a sign. The wheels roll! UK fans, have you seen it?
00:00- This is a set of Thomas and Friends face molds made for Ertl during or after season 3. You can see silver paint around Bulgy indicating they were directly cast from screen used faces. Part of the @OGThomasFan collection
- This is a drawing of Thomas, Lady, and Diesel 10 that I made in 2000 as an entry for publication into the Thomas and Friends magazine. It never made it in as far as I know. I think I will frame it.
