    I remember the website to this when Bachmann first came out with it in like 2008-2009, they had like seven characters all based on London Underground lines (Like the one in the Sherlock hat being called "Bakerloo") And thought it looked and sounded better than Thomas at the time. Boy was I wrong.
    Edit: Also the character here is named "Circle" and she's supposed to be a hippie-dippy girl.

    Only just seen this video but I just pulled a large box of this out of my attic, my daughter loved Underground Ernie when she was 5 and I found loads of this going for almost nothing in TK-Max (A UK end of line bargain shop), we've got 4 tube trains and the out of scale maintenance car and nearly all the track for the track mat, a castle, two stations and other buildings. I put it all up there about 10 years ago. As I have an end to end layout I'm using this track to run my trains in as I can do it on the floor and the rest has been save for kit bashing if I ever get the time. The trains all still run really well and the Bachmann controller is always useful.

The view of the "power car" from the side looked as if it was part of a USSR military parade, the nose-end resembling a tank! Says a lot of Gary Linker for doing the narration - enough said! Sam , do you have this locked away in the "rubbish cupboard", or was it resurrected as a present for a nephew/niece ! (Would you have the courage to do this I wonder!!)

    Hey Sam. Yeah I remember these things. It was a 2006 show which was meant to compete with Thomas and friends. When I was younger the Eastleigh Lakeside steam railway where I volunteered was a real big supporter of the show to a point where one of the electric locomotives had a custom body for Underground Ernie days and a Ernie costume. I had to wear the costume once and you had a big foam head and one day I fell asleep on the platform and scared the kids when I woke up. They though I was a dummy sitting there.

  • @TheTWRModeller
    @TheTWRModeller 4 года назад +1

    That's not a gigantic postman - that's Ernie, Controller of International Underground and titular character of said-series! The series was produced by Joella and was short-lived for one season with a total of just 26 episodes. The character was voiced by footballer Gary Lineker who also (currently) advertises Walkers' crisps.
    Bachmann also produced their Bachmann Junior range with Harry the Hauler and some toy locos based on the Bachmann Thomas & Friends models. Speaking of Bachmann, that mounted track is similar to the US Bachmann track produced in their train sets.
    The models, like the Bachmann Thomas models, have moving eyes which appeal to kids who like running and playing with toy and/or model trains. The likenesses are spot-on though the same can't often be said for the figures (much)! Kids just like to mix and match up everything just for fun provided that it's compatible only. Also, Bachmann US produced the Chuggington models though they focused only on two or three of the main characters for some reason. And yes, they have moving eyes, too!

    I actually like Underground Ernie when I was little. It even had its own magazine at one point and one issue had a free plastic train and track mat that I pestered my Mum to get me. You could either have the weird green character you have here (Circle) or my favourite character (Jubilee), but all the shops locally only had the Circle copy so we went everywhere looking for a Jubilee copy! We got one eventually and I believe I still have my plastic Jubilee kicking around at my Mum's house somewhere.

    Hi, Sam, as you've had over 3,500 comments on this post, I'm not going to read through them all to see if anyone's made this comment already. I don't know a great deal about Underground Ernie, but I did once buy a DVD about him. I seem to recall that the trains were named after the Underground lines they supposedly ran on. There's a picture of all the characters on the box. The one wearing the crown is Victoria and the one that looks like Sherlock Holmes is Bakerloo. The reason this train set is called 'Circle' is because the train character is called Circle and this is why there's a preponderance of yellow in the livery, i.e. the eyelids, the hair and the doors, as yellow is the colour of the Circle Line. I have absolutely no idea why they based a character called Circle on a 1992 Tube Stock which only runs on the Central and Waterloo & City Lines! It should really be a surface stock, like a C69 or an S7. So please don't blame Bachmann for how creepy it looks, it's quite a faithful representation of the character from the TV show. Just blame them for the rubbish track and performance! :-)

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  4 года назад

      Yes you're absolutely right Dave, that's how they were named! Yes the character was creepy on TV, but I think Bachmann's is more so, given the dead but moving eyes and the otherwise completely static face - it brings the uncanny valley effect into play much more than the TV series did ;)
