PART 2 OUT NOW: https://youtu.be/4pc7oZk3-Hg

The Thomas Model is owned by Mattel and is Under Lock and Key in their storage. This shows that Mattel truly wants to display that they Own Thomas & Friends. Not just the character, but a franchise as a whole.
-
At least most of them are safe
-
I think Mattel should show Thomas’ original Perspex model for something special, maybe an 80th anniversary event. I would absolutely go there, and Mattel would DEFINITELY make lots of money off of it.
-
Basically almost every model: OWNED BY MATTEL! Luckily old iron, rusty red scrap iron, little green caterpillar, and wooden box were saved by collectors.
-
I’m surprised no models were actually destroyed or throw away when they stopped using them.
-
I'm glad Mattel and fans like TTM saw fit to preserve as many props as possible.
-
I’m surprised Matel doesn’t own ALL the original models
-
Im definitely glad a fair few are in safe hands. Truly a shame about the ones that arent though :(
-
Wait, did someone find the Toby model? I thought it was stolen from Drayton Manor and never found.
-
I am so happy to hear that the models at Drayton Manor are going to be relocated to a better place and can’t wait to see how the new layout will look thanks for sharing this video of my childhood favorite show 👍❤️
-
Wow it's actually possible that the model era could start up again
-
If I had the money, I’d try to purchase all of these original models, mechanically restore them, outwardly backdate them to their original debut appearances and take them on exhibitions to raise awareness for a little project called the model mania museum; a special museum dedicated to the preservation of props from Thomas and other similar shows such as tugs or the Thunderbirds. Giving a home to these legendary pieces of history that made countless memories for children all over the globe.

Seeing Toby like that is painful, he was my favorite from the series
-
so glad to see theses models well and going
-
`Arry & Bert and Splatter & Dodge were my favourite characters for some reason, pity seeing that they'll likely never see the light of day again :< would've been nice to see them in Project Tiger Moth or something
-
We need a part 2 with the road veichles or narrow gauge
-
This was so much better than the current productions.
-
Nice to know that, apart from Flying Scotsman's tenders, all the original models have been accounted for and seem to be in relatively good condition.
-
Dude this is so interesting. I felt like I was the only one who wondered about this lol. There was no way I wasn’t gonna watch this when I saw it in recommended 😂
