The gatekeeping is a real thing in this fandom... I won't name names, but there are those in this fandom that either have the pilot in their position, or more information about this piolet. And it's really sad they can't be mature and share

Agreed. Gatekeepers need to be shunned from the community and put on a pedestal just to show everyone who is an obstacle

Mattel owns the full thing, yes, but certain gatekeepers have had access to it and own a lot more​@@user-ol4un1lq8i

To say how excited I was when I sure the image would be an understatement. This image does also seem to confirm that the pilot did have 'flatter lighting and simpler sets'.

Oh, trust me Sewer, the gatekeeping crap isn’t allegorical in the Thomas fandom. The Star Tugs Trust (or Tugs: The Exhibition) have had the actual reel in their possession for a time, as they have ties to Mattel. Another member, codenamed TomsProps, is also believed to have information on the pilot, if not, a copy of the reel itself. For being made up of 30-40 something adults, a lot of fandom members are pretty immature with the memorabilia they think they own.

Now this is dope.

​@@ttteproductions7609I mean I don't wanna say no, but the closest they ever did to that on an anniversary was releasing a late internal working version, and only after the actual original(more-or-less) draft had already been found in its entirety. Also, since they aren't even making the CGI series anymore, what would they release it with? I wouldn't exactly expect Mattel to release it out of any kind of care for the fans, and would only really do it if they could make money off it.

@@ttteproductions7609 I don't know that they would make a movie for all engines go, which is the only way I could see it being released, and even if they did, it is highly doubtful that they'd put a 3d series, especially not a live action, relatively serious one. To my knowledge, they never even mixed the CGI and model series on home media, save for a music video on one disk that was probably put in as a misinterpretation of instruction to put the CGI version of the music video in.

It's great this image from the Down The Mine Pilot has been found. That pilot is up there on Thomas The Tank Engine lost media.

So basically there is a small proportion of gatekeeping Thomas fans acting the exact same way as a small proportion of Doctor Who fans who have missing episodes and are hoarding them and sharing only amongst themselves...

15:16 I think there called "Parapets"? But I could be wrong!

You can just say its SIF that have the stills lmao

10:59 lg what they meant by "luck-music" is that it's stock maybe it was a typo or smth but l've Heard from somewhere l Can't really remember that someone said "stock-music" so I guess lock music it should be something like a stock music place (or Hell probably even just use music from other franchises) so yeah I think that's what "luck-music" means

This just made my day, absolutely fantastic find. I'm honestly speechless that we even got as much as we have of the pilot as we do. I guess I was just out of the loop lol

9:35 this is actually kinda crazy, not to get anyone's hopes up but I vaguely remember seeing on my TV many years ago when I was about 3-4 a shot of Thomas that looked like it was from the series 1-7 outro where Thomas was in the yard with credits on the right, anyhow, I remember that shot as if it was a regular episode but for some reason there was a female narrator, now this was strange to me as I was familiar with Ringo and angelis voices (mainly angelis' as it would have primarily been on dvd at the time) but this couldn't be possible as there never was any female narrator for the official series, but the dvds that I did watch quiet alot were 'Truck Loads of Fun dvd' that had season 1 and there was the 'Classic Adventures dvd' but I don't really recall any female narrator, going back to the scene I remember Thomas was in the yard like in the end credits and there was the female voice, I can't remember the words but they were 100% UK English, next minute Thomas was blasted with quarry dust and his surprised face appeared on him and the scene ended, I'm not sure if I combined the shot from the outro and the shot from TATMR in my head but it seemed very real, but as for the female voice, I wonder if I had selected a different language by accident but I'm really not too sure as this was like 14-15 years ago but it could have been something I made up in my toddler aged brain or it was some sort of bonus feature, however, I asked my mum a couple of years ago and she never recalled what I saw, but this does sound odd the more I think about it and compare it to the pilot.

15:15 Those bumps on the bridge are posts/pillars adjoining the sections of wall on the bridge. Apart from being decorative, they also help with sharing the load of any force put on the wall, since stacked stones and/or bricks aren't really that resistant by themselves to pressure put against them, mainly at the base(in short, without those pillars, brick and stone walls would be likely to fall over if pushed).

Let’s hope at some point, the pilot footage gets revealed, we all need to see it.

Other than a few more stills, we need the official footage plus audio

@@user-ol4un1lq8i oh I guess I must've miss understood the image since it looks identical

I think that the "luck-music" may refer to the "With a Little Luck" by Paul McCartney. It instrumental is actually quite similar to Thomas' Theme

It's been said many times that the general public wouldn't see certain pieces of media, but we've recovered two missing episodes of Dads army and multiple Doctor Who serials (along with several episodes) from the 60's/70's, and lost Tugs from the 80's. so I think it is still possible that the Down the Mine Pilot episode is out there somewhere.

Random compliment I recently watched your kekcroc iceberg again for the first time since it was first uploaded. It's a very fun and comfy video. It brings back a lot of good feelings and memories.

I wanna say that mattel probably has it they restored the original scene in down the mine (restored), so they must still have access to the original roll of film : [) Also the pic is definitely larger they cropped most of the show in editing

You have a nice voice. Great video!

One thing that could be possible is that the image could be false but a really well made false example. Why/how? The creator could have made the scene himself with a simple circle track or perhaps a circle track and a separate rail and made a digital picture wich was printed then scanned back into a digital format or made a basic photo like a polaroid then scanned it into a pc and then blown up causing the blurry bits
