@@StabTheDabb as much as they are amazing I would love for this to stay in the UK, part of our heritage and something I feel belongs in this country, would love to see the @talylynn railway get this for their exhibit!
@@Thecheekyenginefully agree on that. I do think the Americans are taking too much Thomas stuff to make them the holy grail of Thomas the tank engine which is something Rev w Awdry wouldn’t of wanted concerning he was never big on the idea of Thomas being shown to the American audience to begin with. Again this no disrespect to the American fans a lot of them have done amazing things I even work with one of them developing a Thomas Land replica in Roblox. I just think too much off Thomas is being sent over to the states and it feels like the UK Fans have to go over there to see/Buy the good stuff which is a bit unfair. And Mattel being an American corporation doesn’t help.
Damn I wish that was a broken bachmann shell... Aw well I guess it's appropriate that this model came out in October to scare us with his condition (Someone should make a scary story about this)
Wish we in the UK could save these props. No offence to the American fans who buy and retire them that's great but would love to get some preserved here in the UK. Anyone want to set up a group and crowd funds to do it?
@@sodor_dan-da-man I completely agree with you!! Wish it could be kept here as alot of them are in the states now..should I try and crowd fund it? 😅 See if I can keep it here and get it restored to go on show at model shows haha..
@@Thecheekyengine I would support it. My channel not big enough to win over the fans even though I'm primarily a Thomas fan and modeller.

@@chumishdatank If they're willing to preserve stuff that would never be used again like Arthur large scale for instance in their storage unit in Southampton they would most likely keep a model with possible future uses in their possession
seeing an iconic part of a influential show for many in this condition, is sad. there is barely anything left, only parts of the shell and a face. WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIM???????????????????????????????????????????
That tank engine went through hell & back.
Our boy has been through a nuclear fire
And yet came out still with a smile 😊
@@MaxwellTheTrainFan I'll never see his cheeky face again!
Sodor Fallout AUs be like:
0:52 it was actually season 10 where brass duplicates replaced the original models
Well they got that wrong in the description for the auction then 😂
@Thecheekyengine Tatmr is where the first brass Thomas was Made, The great discovery 3 more were made. Prop store clearly didn't do their research.

@@Reddy4Leisure2003yea agreed, we dont have enough of the props in the uk
Suppose that's why we see Thomas' model as scrap set dressing from season 3 onwards.

Thomas lay upside down with severe burns.
a local potato farmer raised the alarm
It’s so sad to see something that brought happiness to so many children around the world to be seen in such horrible condition
I completely agree! Really shocking!

I haven't tried signing up yet but Intend to nearer the time, I will try and let you know!
@@Thecheekyengine Thx
If only if we had the money 🤣🤣
@@TravelManOfKent haha yeah if only!!
if you do watch it
can you list what everything goes for in £ as im not alowed to bid as to much. but i want to know what everything goes for
Yes I intend to watch it and see what happens so will do! 🙂
Me and my friend speculated that this is the pilot
the pilot is the season one prop
Yes I believe it's meant to be!
COME ON GANG, LET'S FIND OUT WHO WON HIM!
Anyone know what happened to the season 3-7 prop
why they replace season 1 props why
@@КириллСивцев-к6ж we will never know sadly 😭
@@Thecheekyengine tight filming schedules little room for repairs
they got old
Something something _Stories of Sodor_ reference.
He knew.....
Christ I feel old!
I still think that it is a cast. I don't like the middle seem lines on the back buffer beam and on the front running board.
Sadly it probably will go for much money starting bid is already too high for me :c
Yeah me to unfortunately.. might start a go fund me page haha 😂
I think this is the model that got destroyed during filming of Trust Thomas.
actually it was covered with stinky cheese in thomas and the stinky cheese in season 11
What model are you talking about?
@@YimYum911 the perspex model last seen in season 11
The scrapped E2 in off the rails
I doubt it is the actual model
has the same seams and marks so it most definitely is
@@funsyminnAnyone with a good 3d printer can do that mate
I don't think Mattel would of gotten rid of the original model especially considering they're preserving stuff like the large scale props
