Trackmaster: okay.. We have this banger model that’s accurate.. I GOT IT! Let’s make it a Thomas with the sprinkle of Edward so the kids now don’t get the quality the older kids had!
I had always wanted the OG trackmaster Edward because I thought his siderods were fascinating, but I unfortunately got stuck with the trackmaster 2 Edward
I really wanted a og trackmaster Edward too but when I finally got it at a train show I lost it a few weeks later. Till this day I still don’t know where it is. but I finally got one I didn’t lose a few years ago and it’s the TOMY one with all the acquired details
It's been 6 years since I started wanting the 2003 plarail edward. I got the trackmaster 2 edward instead. Disgusting. Then one Christmas, I asked for plarail edward, but I forgot to put in the year. And I got the 2018 plarail edward.
I'm pretty equal on both versions on the Plarail Edward, both 2003 and 2018. The old version of Edward is accurate to his TV series model, while the 2018 version of Edward is really nice of its details and accurate CGI face despite my gripes with the wheel configuration.
What if: Percy was released in 1993 as originally planned Edward and Henry were released in 1995 with Gordon to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the rws Daisy was released in 1996
I know who to do next!! Gordon! He’s got to be the most confusing one of them all it seemed his models just got worse! But we’re still passable at the same time
Hi Tons! I'm doing well, thank you, I've just been super busy. Ironically, I was just on vacation in Spain so that's probably the closest I'll ever get to you! A week too late to hop over to the Awdry Extravaganza lol.
Edward is/was the only engine that used that length of side rod and that meant a whole part was being kept for only one engine. The long rods were used on Henry and Gordon, and the standard rods on every other engine that had rods. It's unfortunate that Mattel and Tomy chose capitalism over accuracy. I expected as much for Mattel, but not Tomy.
I like edward but i dont have any trackmaster or tomy items the only trackmasters i have are the old push alongs and as my name is i want a plarail engine
Isn't it funny that my Fisher-Price is very slow, but an excellent goods hauler? For Edward, I would expect at least for my Gordon (Talking earlier Trackmaster) to pull better, but with the exception of a Hit Toys Diesel that drags anchors for a living, the Fisher-Price Edward is the strongest and slowest oddly enough.
