The show makers really liked to put new characters in the background before having their own episodes. Arthur, Diesel, James etc

From what I've read Diesels introductory episode was originally meant to be aired before Percy takes the plunge. Apparently the reason he roles through the back of shot and blows his horn is because he's still feeling cocky for getting Duck demoted and is now lurking at the docks so he can laugh at Percy as he continues to boast about diesels being revolutionary and steam engines being useless.

Who would have known Terence had a LEGO piece on him? I never knew the tar and milk tankers used the same props in season 1, that explains why ERTL released them together.

Yes, funnily enough ERTL released a set of 2 "Sodor Fuel Tankers" together and there was only 1 Fuel tanker prop used for the entirety of it's existence in the model seasons.

@@FlyingFishProductions funnily enough, Wooden Railway and Take Along paired up the fuel tanker with the tar tanker but the fuel tanker’s Take Along model was released individually in Ireland and Britain, but strangely not the tar tanker. Meanwhile Plarail paired the milk and fuel tankers together with an engine who never pulled them in the show.

@@joshuaW5621 It's interesting how toy companies make those decisions, I wouldn't expect them to sit down and watch the entire show start to finish, (as they have a business to run). But I'd expect them to do a little more research, I've always quite liked the tankers in the show having owned all three of the Wooden Railway tankers, and recently I purchased a Gauge 1 Tenmille Tanker kit. The exact same kit the crew used for the show, I'm still deciding whether I'll make it into a Tar Tanker or Milk Tanker, or possibly even one of the plain silver ones seen in Seasons 1 and 2.

@@ww08 Yes, there's a few other scenes in Seasons 1 and 2 where LEGO parts can be spotted, although you'll need a sharp eye to see some of them, and I will point them out in future videos.

Not gonna lie, some of these are actually very clever, especially with the ways the crew saved money in the first season, I never would’ve thought to do that myself

I had always known that the 4-wheeled green coaches had differently painted sides due to GWR Studios' video on Henry's Special Coal, but I never knew that technique was also used for the tankers! There were a lot of really cool facts that I never knew until I saw this video! Keep going man!

Yep that's true

So Daisy is just BoCo in drag.

Worked at The Great Train Store near Atlanta and loved to see kids playing with these on the train table. My son and I went to the Strasburg Railroad and saw “Thomas” being fired up.

Perhaps Diesel made an early cameo so it can be a mystery. "Who's that running in the background at night?". :)

Diesel in the background is a jaw dropper

2:10 Skarloeys lost brother?

📺 good evening all 🌆 I enjoyed watching Thomas wish it was still on PBS

I found the hand that was pushing James it's after the crash It's also in the episode James and a mess

I like how for every number, the background is the color of that engine’s number (with some exceptions) :)

How did I not notice that about Daisy and Boco?! 😂😂😂

Terence Heil hit entertainment

Never thought Terence and Thumper would share caterpillar tracks from toy tanks

Appreciate you using the sudrian afro's boco theme :)

The telling of The Railway Stories was never better than in the days of real modelling. Derek Meddings would have been impressed.

I always love some good camera trickery to fool people. It takes more effort and shows how talented the people involved are.

I know Diesel was in Percy takes the Plunge and the song Pop goes the Diesel was on in Dirty Work.

Ringo was the best narrator

Daisy is basically boco in drag lol

#9 we call that a Crawler in USA with blade its a bulldozer & Caterpillar is a trademark too hehe

Did they really save that much time in not painting the coaches if they then needed to spend more time on quality control and editing?

@ciarangleeson2880

You know, they could have just split the tanker models into two bunches, one to be painted white and the other to be painted black. That way, the tankers could be painted the same colours all over. Similarly, they could have just not bothered painting the old coaches, and then they would not have Keep turning them around.

Nice job!

These facts are very interesting. I didn't know any of these facts thanks so much for making this! I'm American and I used to watch Thomas on a channel called PBS Kids and I really enjoyed it!

Nice!

Can you make another runaway theme please

Knew most of them, a few were new tho. Keep up the good Work👍

Pretty sure Daisy and BoCo both had separate faces that just used the same molds

Yes! They weren't ever shown on screen together at the same time. While they were both shown and introduced in Season 2, (albeit in different episodes), in Season 3 BoCo is present often. While Daisy is absent, while vice versa for Season 4, and then in Season 5 BoCo is more present in the show again while Daisy isn't.

The single car Unit Daisy would in fact have two 4 wheel bogies. No Single car units a multi car DMU's ever had 4 and 6 wheel bogies, and only ever had two 4 wheel bogies. Try doing some research before posting you videos. The Class 28 where the onlu UK locomotives to have this unusual Co-Bo wheel arangement!

Hey Mike, if you actually watched the video and watched the model series you would know that Daisy had a custom built chassis that was shared with BoCo. The back axle carried the motor while the front was unpowered so that it could be changed between a four-wheeled bogie and a six-wheeled bogie depending on which diesel was wearing the chassis. The model had a 4 wheeled bogie and a 6 wheeled bogie. Here's a link to the image: ttte.fandom.com/wiki/Daisy_(T%26F)/Behind_the_Scenes?file=4-16.jpg Next time try actually paying attention and doing some research of your own before you post a comment.

Now I wish I could unsee and hear the information from this 🥲
