@@leokimvideo as of now it’s an online exclusive here, I had to order it directly from Lionel themselves, but I believe you can also get it on Amazon now
@@Dieselhere Years ago I did contact Lionel USA direct and simply asked to review a Thomas & Diesel O scale, I explained these models are not sold in the Oz marketplace. All I recieved back was a email to their online ordering site, basically here pay up. To this day I have no Lionel O Scale.
Say what you want about AEG, but lionel did a pretty impressive job at turning something that was 2D into an actual fuctioning 3D train set, even the faces are on point with the original, when I first saw this I thought it was just a couple of really cool custom models 🤣
It looks like a really fun toy! I wish it was track powered, but other than that it seems like a great set. Lots of adults in the comments getting mad that a baby show doesn’t do fan service for them lol
Battery operated, can run on 3 rail, won’t ruin my track….I think I’ll pick one up just to repaint and remove the face to use as a switcher on my layout when we have storms and the power is out. Just got to modify his rear coupler.
Honestly such a stunning model and set! Im hoping this comes to New Zealand Amazon, as i went to get this set from Lionels website, and was told i couldn't because i didnt live in the USA or Canada
Little known fact: The old Thomas episodes from the beginning were filled using G-Scale size models. So that Bachman G scale model is the EXACT same size as the one on TV.
Honestly I like the look and workings of the set The fact that it's compatible with O. gauge and Thomas smokes, it looks like a good set The only thing I would complain about is the coupler
After seeing this is actual O gauge, I'm disappointed lionel didn't make their ready-to-play line like this! The ready-to-play stuff is not proper G gauge so it won't work with what dad, grandpa, uncle, or the model train club has. Making this O gauge means it can work on the electric stuff that model train clubs run or what dad, grandpa, or uncle might have. It's also more affordable than an electric O gauge train set so it's an easy starting point for families with kids who might end up getting into electric model trains later on.
Am I the only one who wants to buy AEG Thomas merch to fix it? Either making them into the ideal Thomas Or something like the "baby" version of Thomas, like how wooden railway did it at one point I'm starting to notice that only Thomas ranges that have had a bad downgrade are being turned to AEG and turn off makes me want to fix them more *I'm looking at you TM2*
Hm.. What if someone designed and made a 3D printed coupler that can connect to Thomas's main coupler and allow a normal o gauge rolling stock to connect?
I don’t really care that much, but why is the Lionel’s Aeg Thomas super mega accurate, But the regular is semi accurate. Aeg Lionel faces look really well made too.
@@gabrielquinones3343Lad, they have done toy trains for years, and them doing some wacky cartoonish trains even in their electric lineup is nothing new.
@@gabrielquinones3343It’s doing fine, it’s a new set to go with the rest of their O scale plastic toy range, so of course it will have a new shape which will be more accurate to what is currently on the screen.
Ngl I thought Mattel rid of old style toy train on half realistic rails and they made cartoon engine engine on half realistic track the faces looks like classic but reminds of weird Al ha movie Jurassic park claymation
Bruh, most of the people in the comments tho; everyone has a right to voice their own opinion but man if you're getting this upset at Lionel for making the current version of Thomas and it arguably looking better or at least, more accurate to what's it's based on than the original did, then just make your own Lionel Thomas model that looks closer to the original series design. You don't have to like it, but still, it's not worth getting mad over. If this really gets people mad, they should just be relieved that Bachmann has confirmed that their line would not be affected by AEG.
7:40 Another reason why I don't like it is because the coupling is too low for it to connect to other Lionel Rolling Stock which makes it incompatible bad move Lionel
They did for MANY years starting back in the 90s up until at least some years ago. I have an early o-gauge Thomas (no moving eyes) in my collection, but don’t run it much because of the coupler design.
@@MrAwesomedude808 Lionel 'classic era' toys are okay, but not as polished and show-accurate as this one. They did play around with the switchable faces even back then though, a really cool idea that fits with how expressive Thomas characters are. Be neat if they had another go with classic Thomas, it seems like their quality has upped since then. (Weird this has the CGI era music and voice though. One major oversight there.)
Finally, we got a perfect looking Thomas from Lionel. Sadly, it’s the version from the reboot that nobody likes.
It’s the same principle as Bachman Oliver. The toy is practically perfect; it’s just based on a thing we don’t like.
oh my god SHUT UP
whos nobody?
I like the reboot
@@ljandthomas very funny
Pretty cool.
If only we had gotten model and CGI merchandise with this level of accuracy to the show.

For a Lionel AEG Thomas this actually looks pretty nice. Not to Shabby! Just the basic style!
I'd imagine they're probably gonna get a new soundchip on later models because I believe they're just using leftover chips
That’s most likely the case
I like the smoke affect but the AEG style just grinds on me. Just sad where I live we never get this Lionel stuff.

At least Mattel acknowledges that Thomas Annie and Clarabel are an unbreakable trio at least one thing from the original series carried over
This just reminds me of the Thomas into the multi verse thing and this is now possible because we have the normal Thomas and the AEG Thomas
Lionel needs to do this for something that's like not Thomas related. Like do this for a mini affordable Polar Express or something else.
@@KCDash4400cw they did and it looks like ass
I swear S A Music's travelling theme may as well be the 'Thomas fandom content' theme. We love it so. XD
Ive never seen a better model replica from a Thomas line. He practically looks better than the actual thing itself. (Maybe because its a model)

Best O gauge Thomas train set, wrong Thomas! Really enjoyed your review, Soup, really well presented!
I love that smug look on his face. Looks like the Thomas in my pfp.
I would love to run that with scale rolling stock at my club lol
Even I have to admit, it’s detailed perfectly despite not being interested in AEG
The Thomas version of Help is a beautiful song for the beginning.
The coach with the shorter side squiggle is Annie, and the longer Clarabel 😊

But the regular is semi accurate.
Aeg Lionel faces look really well made too.
Kids will probably get nightmares from being able to remove the faces 😂
2:07 REALISM TO THE MAX
Lionel is bitten by the All Engines Go bug... It's only a manner of time before we lose Bachmann...
After all engines go ends we need an actually good reboot that respects the source material
It looks great soup but I don't have one yet but i do have the lionel ready-to-play thomas one.
From what I remember from the few AEG episodes I've seen, Clarabel's decals are longer, and she has gray irises.
Hope that helps!
Im sorry i am so hung up on that g scale thomas that is so cool excellent work! How am i just now seeing your channel???
Personally, I like the look of Thomas, Annie, And Clarabel
What has Lionel become ?
We went from the f7s and the NYC hudsons of the postwar era
