Where Trackmaster 2 failed with this was they tried to make it gimmicky. But, this Thomas is a prime example of why i love the Trackmaster 1 line of this - It feels like an actual engine just with light's which elevates the model even more! Truly a shame this line didnt continue
Yes! I remember having Light Up Thomas back then! ..until I no longer had my old collection When I started collecting trackmaster again, I really wanted to get Light Up Thomas again, luckily I went to Edison back in March, I found it, and in good condition too!
It’s about time someone finally reviews this line! That Thomas was the first trackmaster I ever got (when I was about 2 - 3 years old) I accidentally destroyed it and thus don’t have it anymore, so seeing this video is giving me TONS of nostalgia. Keep up the good work!
In 2013 I was going through a gender dysphoria induced fifth-life crisis, so I bought a bunch of old Tomy stuff. I remember sodor blackout even if I never actually picked it up since all my stuff was used. I never knew they had a light-up feature! The catalogs and packaging I don't remember showing that off.
Tomy made a few non-Thomas plarail trains with lights. I had a remote-control bullet train with lights you could turn on an off, a horn, and the ability to go backwards (although mine no longer does that). The HyperCity Patrol Liner also has a light on it. I find it odd it took so long for there to be an official motorized light-up Thomas especially since the engines already run on batteries.
The closest thing I have to anything in the Sodor Blackout range is that Trackmaster 2 glow in the dark Edward. I’ve done an experiment and that thing can glow all night if you shine enough light on it first.
I swear "Sodor Blackout" is the name of one of those Sodor Fallout copys, and I feel like more people know that than this Trackmaster line. And somehow I'm only slightly disappointed.
If you were to bring up "Sodor Blackout" nowadays out of context, it'd probably just come off sounding like one of those disturbing Wattpad AUs. This range was really damn cool, I was fortunate enough to own the Toby pack, but I wasn't able to pick up Duck or the light up engines or the sets. The idea of a huge blackout hitting Sodor and the engines having to work briskly yet carefully was an idea that I have always wanted to see in an episode, and I can't remember if they ever did that for an episode. Add this concept in with some Ghost Train level atmosphere, and this episode concept could be a straight banger. Thanks for the nostalgia as always, TrainBoy!
Whats stupid is that I barely found light up Thomas that is cheap and new on ebay. Whats worse is that some of the light up engines has prices that are literally eye bleeders. 😢
This was the only Thomas I had as a kid. I did not have a normal one surprisingly! Eventually I lost it somewhere, and I miss it so much. I got mine right off the pegs when it came out, and I was only like 5 or 6. I have an old video with me putting on a cute little layout, but that’s up on my dads channel. This video is inspiring me to try and find one again, and I am really happy that one brings you just as much joy as it did to me. It’s so cool seeing one again. I actually still have the orange van he came with.
I have Percy. I use him as my main Percy, because I love him. Proportion wise he’s not that accurate but I don’t care because of the working light and the detail in the cab. You’re right. This line is underrated. I actually kind of wish these became the main track master models instead of Trackmaster two.
I remember seeing all the Trackmaster light up engines and the Sodor Blackout merchandise at Target and Toys “R” Us back in 2012 and 2013, I also have a Trackmaster Light Up Thomas and it’ll be nice if they made a Trackmaster Light Up Edward, Henry, Gordon and James
I used to own that glowing Thomas and I can remember it was my favorite thomas in my collection It’s forever lost now but I still have the boxvan from the set tho
I have a question for you; I came across a Trackmaster factory error...though it's the AEG Percy and Bruno pack. But Percy is missing his #6. Should I keep him in his box, or take him out to examine him a bit more?
I still own and run the Percy from this series to this day. It’s very nice! I could’ve sworn they made a James though. Sucks that there’s no other Blackout characters.
if you ever get back into wooden engines i suggest searching for the battery powered thomas, percy, james and i believe salty are the 4 that light up from early 2000s. those are motorized. the next iteration comprises of only thomas, percy, and james with their head lamps lighting up when moving or when you push a button on top of the cabs to cause the engines to either whistle or make steam sounds.
Do you have a plarail back and go Thomas Thomas in your collection (the one with the giant coupler on the front), if so can you show us the model in closer details?
you know I actually have the blackout Percy with the light up feature and yes the wheels are meant to lock up and yes Percy is very similar to trackmaster and tomy Percy just a bit longer
I have a light up Thomas but I lost is not to long ago and now recently I found the shell not even connected with the running board just the blue of Thomas in a trash bag in my basement 😭
Why can't TOMY/Plarail think of this idea to be inspired by Hit TrackMaster and bring old Thomas fans back to buying stuff instead of the All Engines Go! Merchandise?
You can just hear headmaster, Hastings singing, even though he’s not
the power of memorize songs
Percy: “ hey Thomas, seen the pastry wagons?” Thomas: “ nooooo?”

I had that Percy as a child! As well as a Tomy 2006 Percy, i lost them though, anyways thanks for showing and explaining Sodor Blackout!

Me too
That intro was phenomenal, it brought me some nostalgia like I was watching one of those old Thomas dvds! Great job dude
Ucwepn's original video on this guy was so nostalgic.
That light eyed Diesel 10...
The light eyed D10 is a custom I HAVE to attempt one day..
Holy u just made me remember a part of my childhood

the blackout range had so much potential! Shame they never continued it. Great vid.

I honestly wonder how cool this would have looked in pre-CGI Trackmaster
Definitely one of the more obscure lines, but a neat concept imo

I never knew about these and what a great idea for a subset. That power line set is pretty cool and what a great building to have on a layout.
I actually have the “power line collapse set” it is great I just wish I had WAAAAAAY more of the power line tracks to make the peel godred branch
I’m also glad it’s a nice orange glow, the blueish LED lights don’t have the same effect
I remember having a Light Up Percy from the Sodor Black out stuff. I have plans to buy him again.
Thees are incredible i actually want one now😂
As always great video bro 🙌
They come highly recommended from me haha!! 😅
Thank you so much my brother man
Takes me back when I remember ucwepn's video on the Sodor Blackout Thomas from Trackmaster.
Hmm... Seems like the beginning of Trackmaster 2. I'm also impressed Thomas didn't go on the wrong line and push the other train along.
Whats stupid is that I barely found light up Thomas that is cheap and new on ebay. Whats worse is that some of the light up engines has prices that are literally eye bleeders. 😢

I actually still have the orange van he came with.
I'm pretty sure there was 2 additional engine packs: A dusty Mavis & a Dusty Percy (based off Percy's Ghostly Trick)

I remember as a kid, wishing my Tomy/Trackmaster engines had headlights.
This is my first time hearing of this range.
The Trackmaster Blackout Range was the best, I really wanted one as a kid
I've never seen this before! Looks lovely
first video i saw after waking up
I remember seeing all the Trackmaster light up engines and the Sodor Blackout merchandise at Target and Toys “R” Us back in 2012 and 2013, I also have a Trackmaster Light Up Thomas and it’ll be nice if they made a Trackmaster Light Up Edward, Henry, Gordon and James
Dudddeee I have that Thomas! It is super cool! Glad to see you reviewed it!
The trailer park boys theme.
I used to own that glowing Thomas and I can remember it was my favorite thomas in my collection
It’s forever lost now but I still have the boxvan from the set tho
I’ve really slept on these engines because I didn’t think they were good but now I think I have to get one.
I had a light up Percy but the gear started to strip and stoped working:(
Another great video from trainboy
You should've had Thomas pull the mail train with Percy.
I have a question for you;
I came across a Trackmaster factory error...though it's the AEG Percy and Bruno pack. But Percy is missing his #6. Should I keep him in his box, or take him out to examine him a bit more?
I would personally keep him in box. He could be worth a lot more later down the line.
Keep it in box
I still own and run the Percy from this series to this day. It’s very nice! I could’ve sworn they made a James though. Sucks that there’s no other Blackout characters.
Remember staring at the in the selfs for minutes. great review!
remembering now: i have the percy! cool model.
I remember playing with that when I was younger I think
I think I also still have it
if you ever get back into wooden engines i suggest searching for the battery powered thomas, percy, james and i believe salty are the 4 that light up from early 2000s. those are motorized. the next iteration comprises of only thomas, percy, and james with their head lamps lighting up when moving or when you push a button on top of the cabs to cause the engines to either whistle or make steam sounds.
Is the blackout thomas considered rare?
I don’t think so? BNIB almost certainly but I see them on eBay pretty commonly
Thomas dies of a heart attack and other stories
Love it bro. Ur the best. Keep being awesome. Not gonna lie but a light up Thomas looks cool. Not bad
Awesome video trainboy
WAKE UP TRAINBOY MADE A TRACKMASTER VIDEO-
You should try modifying the Blackout Percy model to have the body of another character (should definitely be James)!
Do you have a plarail back and go Thomas Thomas in your collection (the one with the giant coupler on the front), if so can you show us the model in closer details?
I don't know if there's an episode of the show where there's a blackout on Sodor, but if not someone should make a fan episode of it.
8:42
The driver: are you joking?
That was nice shit man.
First: Did you get this on kakki? Second: Are you going to expand on the layout?
Wait, what? I've seen these thanks to Ryan's Toy Reviews, and I always thought that they would sell great
fat thomas go *brrrrr*
It's funny but, I also own that Thomas toy along with the van that it came along with.
you know I actually have the blackout Percy with the light up feature and yes the wheels are meant to lock up and yes Percy is very similar to trackmaster and tomy Percy just a bit longer
As much of a good model he is, the actual line sounds like it’s predecessor to Sodor Fallout, not gonna lie!
*I S E E T H E L I G H T.*
Back in my day sodor blackout meant putting bullet holes in engines side tanks.
everybody talking about sodor fallout, nobody talking about sodor blackout
Cool
I have the Thomas. He and my Trackmaster Hiro are the strongest in my collection
A very unrated trackmaster train and NO JAMES WITH LIGHT? He probably would've been the best selling engine. Because he's almost everyone's favorite
This is not necessarily related to the video, but are your intros inspired by adult swim?
Facts
Ok hear me out someday make a mail run layout with this Thomas but the mail vans have lights built in like a custom
I remember I have the Percy one
Ucwepn is a name I haven't heard in a looong time...I'm starting to get old myself lol
Someone should make a Sodor Blackout Oliver for the memes
I have a light up Thomas but I lost is not to long ago and now recently I found the shell not even connected with the running board just the blue of Thomas in a trash bag in my basement 😭
I have the Percy somewhere
Say, who turned out the lights?
TrainBoy, I have the light up Percy. Bur I need to repair him… 😔
Why can't TOMY/Plarail think of this idea to be inspired by Hit TrackMaster and bring old Thomas fans back to buying stuff instead of the All Engines Go! Merchandise?
I have the Percy of that line
I have that lightup thomas.
I need him (If i do get one then he will be the only thomas that i have and i wont mind that)
Is it just me or does the Thomas look like that steam diesel hybrid engine I think it s the tall smoke box
Could be a custom if you had two
...you need Blackout Percy and mail trucks
I SWEAR TO YOU I HAD ONE OF THESE
i did not keep my arms and legs inside the vehicle
What happened?
1 hour till this is 24 hours or 1 day old
A just Art Madzik Reuel siu❤ Diels
