- Locomotives dressed as Thomas have been a thing since the Rev. Awdry was still alive, but cars weren't so much a thing. So, I decided to do a deep dive into the history of a Thomas replica car that was built to promote Shining Time Station!

I dated a guy in 1990 that volunteered on The Black River and Western Railroad in Ringos NJ. One day Shining Time Satiation come to film a scene at The Black River and Western Railroad in Ringos NJ. The scene was when Becky looked into the picture machine in the Shining Time Station Christmas special Tiss A Gift with hobo riding in the mail car. This when I saw the Thomas shown in this video. I also saw it being driving on the road. I wish they could find Thomas and go around the country using it for all Thomas thing, so kids and adult Thomas can see this.
I still love that scene and musical number.
I remember the Thomas replica. My older brother saw it, but I didn't see it because I was a baby at the time. I do have the picture of the Thomas replica with my brother.
It would've been cool to see this Thomas being in the 90s Macys Parade
I remember seeing this replica in the advertisement for the TATMR Sweepstakes (more about that in a second), and the trailer for Kids for Character, it didn’t occur to me that they were the same replica and I didn’t find out until last year I think.
Speaking of the TATMR Sweepstakes, that needs to be the next thing this fandom investigates! We need to track down whoever won and see if we can get a story, some pics, and maybe a video.
I remember seeing the ad for the sweepstakes and begging my folks to help me enter! My old man sent in a stack of postcards for me. I didn’t win, but it was fun!
Excellent video! I remember seeing this Thomas at the NYBG in January 2010 and always wanted to know the history of this specific Thomas. Very sad about the Pegasus tugboat being scrapped however, I've seen it in person.
4:14 Thomas runs for president and other stories
HAH
i hope when this gets used again it does not be effected by all engines go
Great job, Matt! Hopefully this piece of Thomas event history can be found someday!
Nice video and believe it or not, I actually remembered this replica. I even had a couple encounters with it before. It stopped by at the Great New York State Fair for a couple of appearances from what I can gather during the late-2000's, even before I signed up onto RUclips officially in 2008 and it was a great experience seeing it. Truly worth seeing in person.
This Thomas has such a fascinating history,
It would be awesome if the Thomas car was found someday, Amazing video!
The replica kind of reminds me of The Thomas Remote Magical Engine that was released in 1992 by Playtech . By the way great video man !, lets hope thomas is found .
You had me at the part when they scrapped the 114 year old tugboat “Pegasus”.
But wonderful documentary video, Matt! Love it a lot man! 😁
*Pegesus But M Repalces P 😈😈😈😈😈*
@@BagelsGuy what do you mean?
@@Beatle1912mega sus
You should do more stuff like this
The Shinning Time Music I heard In The Background
Its Amazing 😊
I Love Full Size of Thomas The Tank Engine Dummies and Real Steam Operation for Day Out With Thomas (DOWT).
Nooo why did they scarp Pegasus
:(
I hope this Thomas is still out there... Somewhere...
I spoke to the museum owner when I was there. He said that it was hard to raise the funds to keep her maintained and to pay the fee for running a tugboat that old through the harbor. The coast guard wasn't too happy about a vessel that old shuttling across the harbor so they got a decent fee to let her run.
I actually remember that Thomas in Botanical Gardens. I actually got inside despite not being allowed to. My picture was taken in 2009, so I guess this was his last year in NYBG. :(
This is simply a magnificent history of the car Thomas The Tank Engine replica. I personally have seen this up close at The Black River and Western Railroad Flemington NJ in the 1990’s. I also saw this car Thomas The Tank Engine replica driving down a highway. I also believe this is the same Thomas I saw at The World Trade Center NYC in the 1990’s for a Thomas fan event. At this Thomas fan event I had my picture taken with Thomas. I still have the photo today. On Saturday October 15, 2022 I’m going to Northlandz in Flemington NJ for a Thomas event and they are having a Thomas live show. I’m wonder if this Thomas is going to be used for there Thomas Live Show?
This is not the Thomas that will be at northlandz. We still don't know where this one is. The one at the show will be a custom built stage Thomas as this is a traveling show that can go anywhere
I love this somash ! Tank you to know bro
Wow! I finally found out the whole story and history of that Thomas
Great little vid☺️
I have known about this Thomas I am so glad you made this video I knew these Thomas’s were all the same Thomas replica I knew about the misty island , magic railway and the shining time stuff but I did not know about the rest
4:10 Thomas is not a tank, He's a small E2 tank engine
There's a Hornby e2
I know
Nice video keep up with the great work
I have a very light sense of humor but "thomas was made from a star wars prop" kills me all the fucking time and i don't know why
I have grown up in the uk (I still am in the uk) but I have always loved shining time station
This is an Incredible Vid at That.👍, I do enjoyed It.
Im still sad i never got to see the northcreek railroad i live near.it too
you should do a video on "the big live tour" props.
That wouldn't be a bad idea! Many more people have done research on them but I'll put that on the bucket list for video ideas
Wow... 0.0
3:35 ...Wait, no George Carlin? XD
George Carlin wasn't on board with Thomas yet, it was still Ringo Starr at this point
Me and my dad once tried to make a custom kid sized Thomas road buggy by recycling my little sisters old kid motor four wheeler by using wheels and motor, and then build a wooden running board over, and building the rest of the body structure out of pink foam. We also used the original steering handles from the four wheeler and put inside where the smokebox is and was meant turned using your feet, which sadly lead to me accidently causing the wheels to loosen up and fall off.
Let me guess, was the chassis the Landspeeder from Star Wars '77?
5:13 Shining Time Station Thomas
Zeebad: You're gonna win this race to Thomas?
Jonah: What do you mean, Zeebad?!
Bug: Whoa, that Thomas is a tank engine....
Ted Shackelford: From Shining Time Station in that TV show.
Fly: He means that train, Boss.
Zeebad: How could you guys think so? More coal!
Soldier Sam: Shoveling as fast as I can, sir.
I found pics of the shining time live Thomas event thing
You know legomastr I hope the the shining time station thomas the tank engine replica will be found in storage and I hope that somebody will take the shining time station thomas the tank engine replica out of storage and give it a good home and hopefully will keep it safe
I thought it was a tomy Thomas model at first
British People: Thomas The Tank Engine
Americans: *Thomas The Tank*
He’s supporting the US army. That’s why he’s now a tank.
@@edcola6671 oh hey that actually makes sense
Normies: Thomas the train
@@AlexsStopMotionAdventures *trigger*
engineers: thomas the blue lb&scr E2 steam operated locomotive
I want to go to the island of sodor because I want to go the island of sodor also tanks to let me know about this place also tanks for Thomas show one day maybe Mr conductor he will take me to the island of sodor there
I call him tombo
Lol this is the thomas that got pulled over??

Honestly, it's not a replica at all. To call it a replica would imply it's a 1:1-accurate recreation, but this is far from it. It's just a mediocre large-scale Thomas prop. Still though, I hope it's found.
You would find this ain't abit of Thomas history. If you wanna know about Thomas history you gotta look at the original British. Cause Shinning Time Station was only known in the US and Canada. That's why the 2000 movie of Thomas & the Magical Railroad was a complete flop. I'm British and I was a huge fan of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. The movie killed it off for me and the CGI series have definitely killed it off.
This wasn't about the show. This was just looking at this specific car that was built to look like Thomas. I think the title and opening 2 minutes make that very clear.
@@Legomastr365 I know lol. I was just saying about the show and the comment at the end about Thomas history lol.
But also, Shining Time Station also aired in New Zealand and Mexico.
