Before anyone gets smart - yes, I understand that the Thomas Wooden Railway line wasn't technically released until 1993, but I'm sure this pamphlet was in the works during 1992 and that's why I'm labeling it as such (also because I still think of TWR's first year as 1992). Thanks for understanding!
Roy Wilson carefully used literature in salesmanship to build trust with starting TWR in 1992. Mattel lazily used slop to promote Thomas Wood in 2018. You're so right about lazy parents handing their kids iPads instead of physical toys like wooden trains. 1992 advertising doesn't work in 2024 because the quality of parenting isn't what it used to be 32 years ago. 32 years ago toy companies didn't think their customers were stupid. Mattel thought people were stupid enough to fall for their propaganda about Thomas Wood. this video is like a time machine
I had one of these growing up! I never had many wooden railway toys as a boy but I remember looking at the photos and imagining playing with some of those starter sets. The pamphlet seems so small by today's standards but as a kid then it seemed like there were so many options!
I remember back then I use to keep the Thomas and friends cards and yearbooks from the packages of the engines. I use to have a collection but I don’t know what happened to them 🤔. Overall this was a good video of the old yearbook of classic wooden railway Thomas & Friends. Love that you go into detail on them, keep it up 👍🏻.
Speaking of playing with parents, my mom used to build all the layouts and help me play with the trains when I was really young... I'm now 20, and my mom vaguely remembers some of the sets and characters
This is one of the first major Thonas lines in the US. (Along eith Ertl) So it got probably millions of kids into Thomas at the time, after this there was Tomy, Take Along, Golden Bear, Bachmann, and others which continued the legacy.
15:4215:4715:58 I’m thinking that’s how I remember first knowing about the show, Thomas the tank engine and friends followed by Thomas wooden railway (I don’t remember the parents part for me). But for me it was with the stop and go set (with old style Thomas, Sodor fuel car, and Sodor line caboose) and the James goes buzz buzz set and watching the Thomas and his friends get along and James goes buzz buzz videos. Which I mostly still love the wooden railway trains, other vehicles, rolling stock and crane characters of them (up to Frieda, Gina, Vinnie, Ashima, Yong Bao (fully coloured wood train) and Hugo), also a take n play Rex, two ertls of jock and the mail van, and two capsule plarails of Merrick and Owen. While mainly keeping the DVDs of salty’s secret, Thomas’ trackside tunes, make someone happy, spills and chills, gallant old engine/Henry and the elephant, cranky bugs (both the video and DVD), Thomas’ Christmas wonderland, races rescues and runaways, Thomas and the special letter, 10 years of Thomas (both the video and DVD), best of Thomas (both the video and DVD) and Thomas and his friends help out (both the video and DVD) and Thomas meet the queen video too since I mainly still like certain other kids shows: my little pony friendship is magic (seasons 1 to 7, two human movies, and the movie), Max & Ruby (seasons 1 to 5), the Backyardigans, Veggietales (forty episodes including two movies and three compilations), the penguins of Madagascar and the adult show: the Big Bang theory. I also use my Thomas trains, other vehicles, cranes and rolling stock characters as characters from my little pony friendship is magic (one character), Max & Ruby (Max, another bunny, and a lot of toys), the Backyardigans and Veggietales (twenty-three characters, which is where the narrow-gauge engines, rolling stock, cranes and incline, are as them).
Donald and Douglas never got Wooden Railway models in CGI style, you should get someone who can make a custom updated styled Wooden Railway Donald and Douglas, such as giving them funnels and sanding down one of their domes, get their faces from the 2015 Take-N-Play models, get the nameplates from their Trackmaster or Take Along/Take-N-Play models, their Wooden Railway nameplates are way too big. Also you should get someone to give Diesel 10 to have a more detailed and movable claw where it can move in any direction, bend, and have it open and close.

Hello

Shoutout to TWR’s parents for helping a GOAT in the community get started

Quite the fascinating literature
🔥🔥🔥great review.
I have the 99 pamphlet somewhere. I miss these so your review is a big treat
Might be a bit off topic, but I just really love the look of the original TWR Thomss model, it just looks so classic and perfect.
I don't recall getting this particular yearbook when I was a kid, but I had gotten plenty of yearbooks over the years.
I well remember your "1992 Douglas" review video

Better than most books these days
