To be honest. When I read yellow my mind instantly thought of Duncan. I thought what was weird putting yellow in front of Duncan just in case you're not aware of his color. Than the name Rheneas and said oh that explains it. Already for recolors before the others are finished.

In the video he didn't give a release date when or if Origin James is even out.

I believe that Peter Sam will be arriving late Nov/Dec this year. My intuition is he'll be available for next year.

I believe their reissuing the same narrow gauge box vans with different serial number.

Yes although season 5 did come out in 1998. I didn't know about new episodes on VHS. The newest tape I have back then was 10 year Anniversary. I bought "Make Somebody Happy" and "Cranky Bugs" a few weeks after the movie. Since my covers read 1999 and 2000 cover art.

I thought watching the disaster of a movie, the tv show episodes will fix that and it ever really did. I went back to season 1 with Ringo Starr or George Carlin.

I was alive back then, I was 14 years old.

Thomas and the Magic Railroad killed the franchise for me. I tried watching season 5 after that and I give up on it.

Rejoined watching Thomas after joining the forum during season 15 I believe. A few things in the CGI I like and a lot I don't.

Mattel didn't release school supplies in Thomas and friends except for backpacks. When did the last time you saw pencils, pens, notebooks, folders in Thomas decoration? I haven't and I check every store before school starts. Plus most cake stores doesn't carry thomas anymore. One year I wanted a Thomas cake; was rejected because of the cake booklet.

Do you think those Annie and Clarabels will be available in the US eventually? Also what do you mean you haven't taken them out of the box because of your sister's dog? Does it like to chew them up?

I haven't took out of their box because I stuff around there. In front of my dresser on the left side you will see a stack of railroad and model railroader magazines, behind that is N Scale Kato Amtrak train set. Finally is the Bachmann Thomas train set that covers the wall. Surrounded by six boxes of train rolling stock and the top. The right is covered a 20" wooden lighthouse. Making access to the set difficulty but not impossible.

Considering my sister's dog he is a black and white boxer who is very energetic and eats everything he sees. I lost track, stock car and other minerals that can easily be rebought. He's a goat with dogs fur.

I just hope that the tar tanker wagon will be brought back to HO scale as troublesome truck #7. Also cp5150, why is Mattel just so desperate to erase the history of Thomas and friends from season 1-24? Also, what do you think of the season 25 reboot? Will you be watching any episodes or do they sound just too corny for your enjoyment?

Since I returned in season 16 during the Shannon Miller era. I been struggling watching the newer episodes from season 12 and newer current BWBA ones.

I'll try but Thomas seems watered down for my taste. I'll wait and see.

Happy New Year Grandpuff, Milfred, Chaz and others.

I always enjoy the process and achievements to your layouts. I'll enjoy your continuous work.

I'll get a Annie and Clarabel when my old ones needs to replaced. I don't think I took them out of the box in 5 years, because of my sister's dog.

My wishlist for future content.

Sir Handle or Duncan for 2022

I was debating back and forth on buying this tank car. If it was going to be a good paint scheme I'll get it and remove the face.
I'm was never really a fan of the face tank cars in the 90s. Now that I saw the color being purple. It cemented the decision to not getting it.

I don't believe that James will be as large, since he and Edward are almost the same length. Hopefully they get their proportions right.

I enjoyed your review of Thomas and Percy. Are the Tomix and Bachmann cars different in sizes or both the same?

The tank cars looked alright but their missing the cris cross straps around the body and dome.

I totally forgot about the narrow gauge brake vans. I was more focused on Black James than anything else.

I missed out on getting James freight set with the updated version with the cargo truck and fuel tank car. 

I like the face change on Annie. It has somewhat bother me at a young age with the open expression. I just wish they didn't change Clarabel.
