    UPDATE:
    Regarding the Come Ride the Rails track piece, there is also a 2008 track piece that was recently revealed by FlyingDuckNWR8 on Twitter.

    I have some Early Engineers Thomas's. I remember clearly when this line came out it was a total shelf / peg sitter. It was also expensive. And what was confusing it was on the same pegs in store as the 'normal' TWR. It was also a curious time because Chuggington was new on the scene, and all fo a sudden Thomas & Frenemies had some serious competition. That cardboard as the toy is quite a futuristic concept to save the planet.

    Seeing the updated engine shed made my mind go ka-boom. Makes me wish I lived in Australia. An obscure item I have is the Maron cargo and freight box car from the crossing gate figure 8 set from 2011. Another is the "Pirate's" Cove set, which was a 2011 simplified version of the "Pirates" Cove set, in which they took out the skull tunnel which was the best part in my opinion. The most rare obscure item I have is an old style Stepney model I got with the current style Thomas in a dvd pack with Mud Glorious Mud in 2008 at my local Sam's Club. The interesting part about it is that its wheels read 2003, so I assume they used wheels from the 2003- version, but it's odd why they had an old style Stepney lying around with no wheels, so they had to stick on some new ones. I also once jumped on an eBay auction for the display table/yearbook picture sights and sounds set, featuring the exclusive Sodor signal station #9, but was of course, outbid.

    I have one of those bags seen at 6:30
    I use it to store my Bachmann locos, I only have a few though. Maybe mine is a little different, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same design. Don’t know where it came from, as it was always at my Grandpas house until he past away years ago and it’s now mine. If anyone knows more about this specific bag please let me know!
    I also may have an original 2005 run Special Engine Shed, but mines pretty beat up. Found at a thrift store years ago, and the serial number is worn off, as well as most of the paint/decals. I think it may be an original 05’ run as the track on the inside has no sleeper pattern, it’s just wood. Maybe this means it’s fake? Maybe it’s just a later model? I’m not sure.
