The BRIGHT Side Of Day Out With Thomas: The Good & Greatest 

If I had a Terence go-kart I would proudly take him on a trip to the store.

4:20 They missed the opportunity to make Salty. He is literally sitting in the background behind Thomas.

Fergus is adorable.

4:36 hiro is truely the hero of the rails

03:45 This was taken at Didcot Railway Centre. I do know that when it was first painted in the late 80s it was grey because I saw the earlier colour images put up inside the station waiting room, but when I used to go to DOWT events in the late 90s I saw the same face in a skin colour. So it was either painted over or the whole thing was duplicated.

People: Avengers:Endgame is the perfect ending for any saga Me: This is a MASTERPIECE

“Pull up in the Winston” 😎 4:30

I like the adult swim aesthetic you’ve been goin in

2:39 3:13 Bust my buffers! That’s an awesome Percy. That’s pretty much screen accurate right there! It looks like he chuffed out of the screen and onto the railroad 4:36 Hiro looks incredible too!

3:36 That is in fact Fergus's real life basis 'Blue Circle' based on the Nene Valley Railway in England. Obviously for the TV series they had to alter the basis to fit the eye mechanisms in by lifting the running board etc. But I have been to the Nene valley but wasn't fortunate enough to see him. I have seen their take on Thomas though.

1:16 - 2:00 I believe is the Nene Valley Railway. Which is home to the very first real life Thomas locomotive (which pre-dated the TV show and was given its blessing by the Reverend Awdry himself).

4:02 James but with slight upgrades.

Note: the American Douglas in day out with Thomas is actually in Australia, the same goes to Donald, Henrietta, lady, Edward, James, Trevor, gorge, and Thomas, I would know cuz I saw there befor, like multiple times when I was young.

3:43 that is literally Fergus’s basis the model has a bigger boiler to fit his face

4:14 y’all be talking about the Thomas but what about the Salty in the siding? Looks exact to the character

3:43 That is from Didcot Railway Centre in Oxfordshire, UK. I've been to one of their events as a kid where they used 2D faces and the then newer generic 3D Thomas faces. The 2D faces have a lot more character to them, but MY GOD is it hard to find archive photos of Didcot back in the day when they started doing Thomas days.

There's always been the dark side to Day Out with Thomas, but there's gonna be the light. Mostly the credit probably has to the Strasburg Railroad

4:30 He says he wants to ride that Winston. The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure that's the main reason he's there.

I don't care if I'm a 21 year old woman, I want my picture with Strasburg Percy!

trainboy leading us to the heaven gates now

4:27 Thomas looks like he has yellow fever 😂😂

3:45 - looks an awful lot like Ducks face when they washed the lather off of it in A Close Shave in Duck and The Diesel Engine. Pretty great considering the context of the photo!

The brighter side of Day Out with Thomas The brightest side of Day Out with Thomas The ANGELS of Day Out with Thomas.

They need to get all these engines one on day out with Thomas

I have very fond memories of volunteering at a DOWT event at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami back in 2019. I actually still volunteer there from time to time.

3:55 is 1466 from Didcot. Engine type Oliver is based on.

Once upon a time, it was day out with Thomas. Thomas wasnt working so the next day I went to the station with a handmade get well card a train driver came out and then he took me to see Thomas and let me sit inside his cab and put the card over his fireplace.

The brighter side of dowt, the brightest side of dowt and finally THE ANGELS OF DOWT

1:05 left my headphones on max by accident Made me flinch fr

Now just imagine how many more weird and wonderful DOWT faces we could see if HiT and consequentially Mattel didn't treat Thomas like it's theirs to milk and let British railways just do DOWT events all the time.

That engine at 3:51 is a GWR 14xx (oliver's basis). I wouldn't be surprised if that was somewhere like the severn Valley- they have lots of Great Western locos.

The 'Douglas' at 3:27 is at the Ipswich Railway Museum in Queensland, Australia. They dressed up their PB15 class loco, number 444 to represent the twin.

Me personally I pronounce it data, probably the right way to pronounce it.

I’m surprised you didn’t add the Bluebell railway Stepney. He may have a strange nose piercing but he looks great.-Das Mann

These faces on the DOWT engines look amazing, although some can be really bad and terrifying.

4:54 Woah man, take it easy! That's a fate I wouldn't even wish upon my worst enemies!

2:38 YESSSIR!

These are awesome. I was fortunate enough to go to stratsburg Pennsylvania and see 611 locomotive. It was beautiful. Mavis and rusty were also amazing

3:45 I can only presume that's a 14xx at one of the earlier day out with Thomas events. I presume she was scrapped as I can't find her number in the preserved locomotive lists.

1:32 Left: Megan the cheeky diesel Right: literally just den 1:48 Left: Marcus the large prairie (the lines next to the eyes are wrinkles) Right: Jeremy the big green tank engine

I think we can all agree that they Learned from previous mistakes and I also wish I had a Terrence go-kart

At 3:50, the black and white photo of engine 1465, its a 14xx tank engine. So imma guess its Oliver with Bear next to him

I'm going to strasburg this summer. Also at 4:19 the diesel behind Thomas looks like Salty.

I like how you still hate Mattel like everyone else and you putting it at the end, 100% amazing.

Fergus is so adorable I wish I could put him in my pocket

That vintage face is giving me heavy Kenney vibes & I fucking love it

4:13 that Thomas day at dean forest railway, I remember putting face on our rail car use before the Thomas day started. Sadly we don’t do day out with Thomas any more but we still have the faces for the engines including this one. 4:17 fun fact that Thomas is now 18 hunslut called “jesse” she was at 2019 steam gala and then had here at dean forest railway for 3 months in 2021 before going back to home railway. She was in freshly painted industrial style black and yellow striped paint, look brilliant.

2:55 Mavis, a British engine, having an american train horn (K5LA), you can't go wrong with that. Gotta give her some kind of props

Got to love that horror go away and enjoy the good things

Trainboy is finally making em again

Loving the new Monty Python-esque opening credits, :).

Even though Drayton Manor is terrible at taking care of the Thomas Models. But their probs of Thomas, Percy, Rosie, James, etc are really great! Plus I really like the Strasburg Percy & Thomas!

at least the bright sides are very cool. also i'm heading to strasburg to see the N&W 611 next week for a few days before the 4th of july.

2:19 if I had one I would use him get the shopping and go back home

“Terence kart49 for the brittendo entertrainment system”jokes aside this is a really nice video instead of looking at the dark side of day out with thomas

Still have nothing but fond memories. Shame HIT/MATTEL's attempts at extortion have caused most Preservation Societies to abandon the event..

That clip of 'the fat controller' gave me flashbacks to the one at the Northampton & Lamport railway

I see you added my photos in! :) Also, I love the newbies at the NVR Thomas events. Hadn’t seen them before.

Went to one in Strasburg, PA in 2012 when I was 6 and we were living there for just a year. One of the best days of my life. My family was with me and they put on fake smiles for me all day. Great day for sure! :)

I want to give rusty a big old hug. I LOVE HIM.

I wished they'd represent Rebecca too. Her in real life would probably look 10 times better than in the show.😍

Strasburg Percy stole that boxcar and said "I'm taking the mail today" I wholeheartedly agree with TB about Strasburg Percy just being a vibe and a goober at the same time

I dunno about strasbourg but Thomas land was my young life, you just couldn’t top it. The whole ride behind Thomas, Percy AND Rosie!!! The hotel as well, OH MY GOSH cant say how good that place is. Also looking forward to the new exhibit

I’m so glad you pronounce data correctly.

That Fergus is literally Fergus' basis, which was always the right colour, & shape, with a face added. The model in the TVS is much larger to accommodate a face, but the real engine is much lower slung.

Every time I see Strasburg Thomas with it's eyes melted, it just gives me the shivers man.

We need more of this

It ain't a TrainBoy video without Super Mario Land music playing in the background.

The Terence go cart is sad because of his cracked plow

I loved this video. You should do more of these and the bad side of Day Out With Thomas

The picture with Thomas and 611 perfection

We really needed this video right now. Thank you 😳

Thanks for including Queensland day out with thomas Douglas

the fergus looks so chubby and cute I WANT HIM

If this video was thing, I would say thank you for existing

omg!!! i love the fact that you use the Dean Forest Railway for Daisy and Thomas (if anyone is wondering, that red Diesel is called salty. im not joking on that part) also just went to Drayton Manor for my birthday and it was awesome!!!

1:49 the engine in the back: Hey man did you try that new Maui waui coal

I have a friend who would also love to go to Thomas Land. He is a huge train fanatic.

Straussberb Percy is basically perfect. And i would totally want a Terrance go kart.

I agree with ya, T.B. Strasburg is top shelf for sure. Also, I'm down for heisting the narrow gauge bois from Drayton Manor as well. And maybe the entire model layout too.

I needed this

This is a new spin on day out with Thomas.

This should be a separate series from the dark side of dowt!

Trainboy is giving us heaven

Omg imagine TrainBoy in Thomas Land!!! I’d cease to function, my worlds would collide!

I remember going to thomas land and the trains shocked me the detail was insane and a lot of love and effort went into it

Trainboy: something jst looks so settling when percy is pulling a box car Me: ItS bEcAuSe It LoOkS lIkE hE iS pUlLiNg ThE mAiL

So now that we got the bad part out of the way We can finally talk about the good part

The irl Furgus is the actual basis of Fergus! they just gave it a face and boom, there he is

I'm going to Strasburg in about a week! So excited to see 611!

I’m glad I didn’t watch the other vids before this this was awesome

YESSSSSSS I've been waiting for this video for so long

Nice they look amazing

4:22 when your drug addicted fireman accidentally throws in heroine instead of coal.

So the face @ 3:46 is from an event at The Didcot Railway Centre in 1989

The Hiro looks really really good

3:18 Thomas: hi 611:/

4:23 thats freaking drank Thomas

2:38 - 3:24 Wait wait wait perfection

at 3:32, that's a Australian, Queensland Rail PB15 class as Douglas
