As someone who came upon plarail at a toys r us in the early 2000s, I can confirm that it is heaven at earth. I also have a ton of conversion pieces because I also used track master. I have a lot more stuff from Japan now, and most of it is buried in the basement (I'm kinda obsessed lol). At least they survived three different moves throughout the nation so that's nice I guess.
Other than Europe, tomy plarail Oliver was also available in East and South East Asia, I remember back in the early 2010s buying Oliver brand new from a mall with my mom in the philippines. I regret breaking and losing him now.
Same. In my house the 2014 to present time track master exists. My 8 year old brother and 3 year old brother are collectors and we have been collecting for 5 years. We have Thomas, Rosie, Molly, Steel worker Thomas, Merlin the Invisible, Gordon, Percy, Salty, Diesel, Philip, James, Edward, Henry, Lexi, Young Bao the hero,, Hiro, Nia and the elephant, Real steam Thomas, Turbo Percy, Gator, Turbo Thomas, Toby, Rebecca, turbo diesel, Ashima, and Victor!!! Those are all of our track master engines.
I’m going to have to inform you about playrail They have now switched to All Engines Go sadly but they will luckily continue to sell the CGI ones Along with the AEG
I highly doubt it. I miss the old Thomas toys I still have some of mine. well what's left of them 😔. Mattel is pulling there Thomas toys off the shelves slowly. Pretty soon there won't be anymore Thomas toys. Maybe 1 or 2 years from they'll be gone.
I remember there was a set for hero of the rail with spencer, hiro, rocky and a flatbed. Also the brendom docks set with cranky and bulgue is pretty badly aged as cranky is detachable thus over time it tends to fall due to the aging plastic, as to the boat once the wheel got chipped( mine did) it is done for since it's very tiny. (I am 25 and I still have every piece of Tomy track and trains in the basement 😝)
That video was sooo cool. I liked being able to see the progression of all the toys that i used to play with when i was a kid and where the companies have taken them now. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.😃
Oh my goodness Mattel completely destroyed the toyline. I stopped collecting back in 2010 after misty island rescue but damn, the toys were amazing and i wish Hit Entertainment toys are still available in store.
my mother (threw out or gave away) all my plarail and trackmaster stuff when i grew up, now that i'm back into the fandom from model railroading. i still miss it
My Favourite thomas toys 1.wooden railway/wood 2.trackmaster/motorized railway/ motorized 3.take n play/take along 4.minis 5.Collectible railway/ Adventures
What a pretty good history on Trackmaster and by the way Trackmaster is the first Thomas brand line of merchandise that I ever owned starting with the Risky Rails Bridge Drop set and then I had the classic Trackmaster version Stephen but however and the body shell remains along with the flatbed as well as the tender luckily I still have the runaway version of him I remember having the RC in Percy and Diesel from the classic Fisher Price era I lost the body shell the chassis remains and diesel I turned him into a custom and then the remote does not want to work with me because it has less corrosion this led me to put it in a bag entirely and wait until the future of getting the opportunity for an account to sell some items that I don't use anymore and I have been getting some good amount of Trackmaster as well as Tomy Plarail in recent times as well as the rebranded motorized and I don't mind the push along range because I do like the range to be honest I mean you could definitely use it for Adventures because they are compatible to other brands except Minis and I'm still collecting this range and even some Japanese related stuff and even to this day and whenever I had extras I came up with some ideas of customs and about the other rare things that I've yet to get I have already got the Thomas Giant set in Christmas 2020, but there are some rare items I've yet to get such as Bertram and especially Monty from Trackmaster he is extremely rare and hard to find and I definitely need him because I think him and Max scale a bit better than the Wooden Railway and takealong version that's just my opinion or just get the snow storm version of Max to make Monty just so that I could add more characters to the Sodor Construction Company and other creativity's behind them that I can take part in such as getting grass mats, blue sky backgrounds as well as having the opportunity to display them on what was to come in future for a few years overall I still love Trackmaster, Motorized, Tomy Plarail and even the hit toy company and Fisher-Price classic era because I love them so much and they're my favorite Thomas toys of all time.
It's sad that I as a Belgian never got to buy a Thomas & Friend diecast, although I remember seeing some when I was a kid (2005-2008). It never was a lot and it's sad I never bought one.
@@Thomasthetackmasterpersob yeah because I just had that random image and I also used it for my scratch account so I just used it here also I am do you actually have a light up Percy I made a video about it so yeah go watch that if you want so yeah goodbye
Oh yeah I’m not too old myself but I remember playing with these things 24/7 and it is so nostalgic watching this (unrelated but I also don’t like how the new wooden railway trains look at all like seriously they’re so ugly
Regarding the end of the video, I am so, so sorry
what happened?
@@oldteapot4715 They are doing ALL ENGINES GO ENGINES now, all hope is lost. We only have Bachmaan, Hornby, Capsule Plarail and TWR
@@WhistlerMapping You do know Hornby discontinued their Thomas stuff a few years ago right?
@@eshan030 I didn’t even know about that
Plarail are actually doing both for some reason. Only just found this out.
Now, this is a good history class.
Yes This is really better Guess RUclips can teach better than school 😂
my history class is boring u r right rod
the only fun history class
So True ! Kick Me Out Of School !!!
True.
If this was in school I would actually enjoy it
One of the best history lessons I’ve ever been taught. Great work!
tysm!
W video
That first five minutes whipped me through my entire childhood and left my head in a tizzy.

lol, I wish haha
Same!

@@joeybonavita2739 wow that's a lot but I have 20 shelfs of Thomas stuff from 2016 💀💅
This guy deserves so much Reddit for going through the entire history of trackmaster This is the best thing I could ask for as a big trackmaster fan
"so much Reddit"?
@@thegenericengine4867 it was supposed to say credit but apparently autocorrected it without me knowing
thanks!! It was a chore to put together but was definitely worth it haha
I’m going to have to inform you about playrail
They have now switched to All Engines Go sadly but they will luckily continue to sell the CGI ones Along with the AEG
@@ChessieSystem1973 yeah I just saw like two days ago my life is ruined all engines go is haunting it
Sometimes I wonder if Mattel still owns the classic Trackmaster toolings.
I highly doubt it. I miss the old Thomas toys I still have some of mine. well what's left of them 😔. Mattel is pulling there Thomas toys off the shelves slowly. Pretty soon there won't be anymore Thomas toys. Maybe 1 or 2 years from they'll be gone.
That was a great history lecture Professor Tons!
Thanks a lot!!
The only history I actually enjoy 😄
🤣 wait till he does maths!
Same
Same
Same here
I hope tons becomes my friend man :(
2 of my favorite things at once, Bill Wurtz styled videos and trackmaster
My god imagine not being able to see your twin until they get released in 10 years
"Dougie it's been 10 years"
NWRP found in the wild
Tons nailed this video.
thanks!
Now This is history I would like to hear
Very interesting to see this kind if content! Sounds like good stuff
Fantastic work here with your research for this video. Que applause
Boy I REALLY used to love these toys when I was a kid! 😃 Happy days! :’)

One Childhood Movie into a whole world.
You need more subscribers. Like 10k is not enough for how funny this is
The reason why the narrow gauge Trackmaster engines are standard gauge is because they wouldn’t be able to fit a motor anywhere
Best history lesson ever
Now this was a very interesting history lesson
Tons Of Trackmasters is one of my favorite RUclipsrs!
You should make a trackmaster histories episode on tender/cargo powered engines
I love thomas trackmaster! And this is good history.
This is historical content I enjoy.
Really interesting history lesson.
thanks!!
This is going to be fire
I’ll miss the old trackmaster
(Born in 2003 but never had one until when I was 6 or 7)
Oh my goodness Mattel completely destroyed the toyline. I stopped collecting back in 2010 after misty island rescue but damn, the toys were amazing and i wish Hit Entertainment toys are still available in store.
funny how we both release a history of the world i guess parody video on the same day
funny that isn't it
I want all the older models they just looked so good : (
my mother (threw out or gave away) all my plarail and trackmaster stuff when i grew up, now that i'm back into the fandom from model railroading. i still miss it
If only this is what they taught in history class…
haha, me too lol
I don’t really like kids but this kid is really doing his research. Respect
I'm not really a kid...
@@TonsOfTrackmasters oh sorry for that
@@carlnpc1065 its cool lol.
Kind of sad when trackmaster was making decent to good products during 2020 and 2021 but got cut short because of all engines go
My Favourite thomas toys
1.wooden railway/wood
2.trackmaster/motorized railway/ motorized
3.take n play/take along
4.minis
5.Collectible railway/ Adventures
This like a dream speedrun
We do the speedrunning of the trackmaster trains
Very well done video, tons!!
Also, keep up the great work!!

I actually used to have an RC Cranky as a kid, I don't know where it is now but one thing that I remember about it is that the hook was broken off.
It is an AMAZING product
@@TonsOfTrackmasters it sure is
Shout out for that Huey Lewis track ✌ nice video!
We love some Huey Lewis here lol. Glad you enjoyed!
It's sad that I as a Belgian never got to buy a Thomas & Friend diecast, although I remember seeing some when I was a kid (2005-2008). It never was a lot and it's sad I never bought one.
Awesome can't wait to see this video
The line is turning 30 this year. It’s had an interesting history.
2:24 sick rapping
The entire history of the world *NO*
The entire history of trackmaster _Yes_
Funny shaped gordon is actually called the shooting star/streamlined gordon
Tons! Totally smashing video! Best one ever (minus your rap song)
This teached me more than school
I wonder how Tons feels after his video after talking so fast
What can I say, I'm just eminem lol
@@TonsOfTrackmasters yea I guess
Playrail will be doing the all engines go stuff but they still have the original characters
8:34 I got that as part of the Super Station but it doesn’t work anymore.
CONGRATS ON 9K 🥳🥳
Thank you!! 😁
Friends: i feel like learning some lore
Me:
Can’t wait!
You Should Be A TTTE Teacher! Btw, we get old and new Plarail Thomas stuff
The best type of history
9.98/10, the thumbnail wasn’t simplified trackmaster
Yes but there's some sort of cartoonist filter if you look closely 😅
Gee this is old stuff since I remember having a large thomas set of this at my mom apartment
i do have a collection of og stuff but i cant set it all up on a table by mounting the track cos ill prob get looks lmao
For 2011 wasn’t the exclusive back and go thomas released which was the only Thomas model to go forward and backward
holy moly they were right 2007 was the best year for everything
thx fr the old memories
i remember being a child now
9:52 - 9:59 Trackmaster Kevin AÆÁÃÂÅÄĀ-
i actually had one of those “egg trains” i think i still have it on the package i just need to retrieve it from my mums
0:30 Plarail is not a company. It's a toyline produced by Tomy. The company name is even in the corner of that pic.
Broo no cap I took that picture of the talk n action Thomas!
Thats insane!!! I just found it on the wiki lol
@@TonsOfTrackmasters Apparently I made an edit but I thought I deleted it, someone ended up cropping it and putting it up there.
6:35 I was born in this year when I saw the first episode of Thomas and friends season 13 when I was just a little kid
So sad that in trackmaster revolution
We only got 3 narrow gauge engines in that brand, Victor, Luke and Freddie
Good Video
8:28 my favorite part😂
You did a great job on this video.
I regret i didn t but that duck with a close shave.. but anyways good job dude
Buy' ops
It was a very good product, I agree
3:55 Sandstorm
You forgot about the Original Thomas pack from 2015 for The Adventure Begins.
Make bill wurtz proud
thanks :D
best video you have ever made
Tons wurtz
Enjoyable. I need a school where this is the only lessons.
hamburger car is my favorite
Didn’t you forget about the knock-off (yet still dope) Trackmasters from AliExpress?
2:26 DENNIS!!!!
I’m from 2022 and plarail released photos of there new AEG merch but I heard the old rang is still going on beside the plarail AEG merch
This history slaps
(Bro doesn’t know Gordon’s Shooting Star skin)
Hey did you know that Mattel used to make trackmaster I actually own one and it's a 2012 Percy
BFDI PERSON YASSS
@@Thomasthetackmasterpersob wut
@@naate2 your profiile pic is from a show called bfdi
@@Thomasthetackmasterpersob yeah because I just had that random image and I also used it for my scratch account so I just used it here also I am do you actually have a light up Percy I made a video about it so yeah go watch that if you want so yeah goodbye
im watching this from a month AFTER this was made
Plarail AEG pics just dropped!
I did not know that thomas stories first existed in 1943
Funny Shape Gordon 🤣🤣🤣
Hehehe, just like Bill Wurtz said: *HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!*
You already know right?
Oh yeah I’m not too old myself but I remember playing with these things 24/7 and it is so nostalgic watching this (unrelated but I also don’t like how the new wooden railway trains look at all like seriously they’re so ugly
So Long story short, Tomica Plarail kept it relatively the same, While Trackmaster butchered it like heck!!
Yo History classes with tons !!
i love your vids tons😄
plarail all engines go just wants me to *start running*
3:55 I have that set of cars I only have the one at the top I don't know where the other two are
Motorized Railway is not trackmaster. It’s a diffrent merchandise line
