The History Of Terence The Tractor, & His Model! - The History Of TTTE 

Th: "What ugly wheels you've got!" Ter: "And what dead brothers you've got. Dead as hell. What wheels they got? What wheels do they got on in the scrapyards?"

All of these early season characters are so iconic. It's a shame Terence got neglected after season two onwards, he fills a pretty unique role in the show's universe and could have been used a lot more. It's great to see how they made him in the first place Trainboy, thanks for the upload my dude!

Of all the CGI redesigns, I think Terence's least captured the essence of his original model. It's always kind of creeped me out.

"I'm the one that has to plow fields! We'd better get you out of there". -Terrence in Edward, Trevor And The Really Useful Party.

The use of Lego air tanks on his snowplow blew my mind but once you realize it it's incredibly obvious that's what they are. I love stuff like that, when propmakers just use whatever they can find and repurpose them

YES! you did it, you ACTUALLY DID IT!! For me, Terence is a character I can relate to mostly due to the fact that coming from a farm myself it was nice to see another vehicle type in TTTE, and also because I happen to have a somewhat newer cousin to Terence's Model sitting in the shed. They should have definately used him more, I could've seen the show doing a spin off starring the road vehicles and potentially terence's own shed mates that are never truly mentioned or seen in the series... I also have a headcanon about him on the TTTE subreddit if you wish to see

The size of Sodor perplexes me, having something like 30 locomotives, dozens of stations, many, many cases of rolling stock- and one tractor to clean out the entire island. It is ALWAYS Terence. I don't recall EVER seeing another tractor. What the heck? Terence is always there. Terence will protect you.

Thomas:“What ugly wheels you got.” Terence:” Their not ugly, their caterpillars. I can go anywhere I don’t need rails.” Thomas:”I don’t want to go anywhere, I like my rails thank you.”

I can't get Hank Hill Terence out of my head ever since the CGI Roast

I like how he stands up for himself, defending his wheels.

Terence has one of the best themes in the show, and one of the coolest models too. It's a shame he wasn't see that much after the Classic Model Series, but I'm glad we got to see him again in CGI before the reboot.

My favorite thing about Terence is his theme, it sounds so joyfull and you can't resist the urge to like humm along or beat the rythym in a table or something like that

I honestly think that Terence's CGI model is 50/50 in terms of detail. Sure, he lost his widow's peak but at least he obviously had more facial expressions than he did in the model series, eh? And those eyebrows are kind of neat.

Kinda a fun fact Tamiya models back then had the ability to become RC controlled vehicles and Terence most likely uses the poly caps used in whichever Tiger I was released at the time for Tamiya

OK we’re all thinking it I’m just gonna say it Terrence’s face scared a lot of us and you know it!! 😅😅

Thanks for doing my childhood favourite. :) One of the best festive season gifts I ever got as a kid was the Wooden Railway Terrence when I was four, in 1998.

Terrence is a favorite of mine, as I grew up on a farm, and we've always had an old Caterpillar 70 tractor with a blade on the front. A difficult one to drive, but good fun nonetheless.

While I'm not Terences biggest fan I do wish the show gave him more love

I always found Terence’s face so unsettling lol Also we need to see Derek or Toad

Great video, and for a character that seemed to have disappeared along with many others, I'm happy Terence came back😁

"What ugly wheels you got.."

Nice day for a History of Terence's models it isn't it?

Interesting coincidence you would upload this today when a massive snow storm hit my home town and I had to cautiously drive to work to avoid getting in an accident or stuck in snow and Terence's debut story is of him rescuing Thomas from a snow drift.

We need the history of Knapford Station.

One of my earliest memories of watching Thomas and friends was during preschool, we were watching the episode Terrence first appeared.

TrainBoy: 0:33 And to finally complete the Ffarquhar roster Mavis: (Sad Diesel Engine Noise) :(

Who else here misses Terrence's McDonalds hairline?

Terrence brings together some of my favorite things, Thomas, tanks, and Lego.

Model makers: paints the LEGO air tanks orange in 1984 LEGO: releases an orange air tank in 2020

Hearing the words “drayton manor” fills me with dread for the next few images

A tad disappointed that Terrence's theme wasn’t used in this video.. one of my favourite themes

Great choice of character here. Another favorite of mine. Definitely got some nostalgia from my ten years of Thomas dvd.

You should do Trevor The Traction Engine at some point. Also, Terence should have had more spoken roles.

You know a character that would be awesome would be cranky because he has a good amount to talk about with the coolness of his model

Weirdly this is not the only place that Legos have been found in the model series a number of long plate pieces in black and gray have been seen as set dressing on a number of station sets most famous that I’ve seen being in a shot of James at Maron I believe in one of the earlier seasons the exact episode I can’t quite remember.

You should definitely talk about Big Mickey at some point. Not the most significant Thomas character, but nonetheless has a tragic but fascinating history.

A History of Cranky and His Models would be great.

Yay for S A Music! Subbed for the intro alone lol

I think the drawing of Terence with the cab is potentially supposed to be "canon" as some open cab tractors had removable cab roofs, I am unsure if Terence's basis had any from the factory, but a farmer or rancher would be likely to make a custom one out of wood if they wanted to, just drill a few holes in a couple spots and bolt the pieces in. But that's my opinion in regards to the illistration. It's just a custom roof the farmer made to protect themselves from any particularly bad weather conditions. Anyone else got an idea?

I can never unsee the Lego classic space oxygen tanks now

It could be possible that his concerned face was used in Not So Hasty Puddings/Cakes but the Snowplough blocking his mouth or when he was searching for Thomas in The Great Discovery.

Terrence is probably my favourite road vehicle

model series Terence is the one I am used to when I was a kid to my teen years now

We need Bertie next

hey trainboy, could you do a history of Harold? Would love to see him in this series

Bruh Terence in the CGI made him look handsome. He gives me those Perfume Commerical Dudes that look hot. I'm just saying. Ain't simping.

When you can, can you’d do the history of the express coaches and their models. Ps great video as always

2:32 *I can never… unsee that.*

Since Terence was originated from the US (as the company that built him was from that country), imagine him speaking with an American English accent.

Terence could’ve had more potential in model series rather than just having casual roles and scenery cameos

Terence the tractor and his models yeeesssss thanks trainboy

terence's perspex model season 1 1984-the great discovery 2008

He's just Hank Hill in 1080p - Trainboy

"They're not ugly, they're caterpillar's!"

My favorite Terence episode had to be when he made his debut in Thomas and the Snowplow. I don't know why but I just couldn't get enough of his theme as a kid. One of the few things that bothers me with Terence are why he was given a widow's peak and how much larger he looks in the TV series.

terence my beloved

I love all of these history videos of the characters and the show I'm 33 and still watch Thomas The Tank Engine!! Could you do a video of the earth moving equipment that were on for a few seasons? I can't remember all their names but there were 2 excavators and a front shovel !!

As soon as I seen the thumbnail the music from "Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover" started to run through my head. Terence the Tractor was one that I loved as a kid. I had the Ertl toy of him and it went with me to a lot of places. And no, I don't like his CGI look. With the longer face and no hair he looks creepy to me somehow. XP

I'm glad you've finally made a video on my son

This is the most adorable thomas character in thomas lore

For me, Terence is based on one of the Allis Chalmers crawler tractors.

Def should have been used more in the model series

I’d love to see the history of Trevor the traction engine

CGI era Terrance looks so weird without the “widows peak”

Not only was Terence the 1st Road Vehicle 2 appear in the TV Series but in a way the 1st Diesel since he technically runs on Fuel ⛽️ 🚜

Surely you have to get to Lady in the near future. You've already done Diesel 10, now you need the mystical hero to go with the villian

I know it's a pair of TVS models but what about looking into the history of MIGHTY MAC & FEARLESS FREDDIE? I know narrow gauge stuff is a keen interest

I would love to see a video about the Troublesome Trucks!

You know what would be awesome you do a history of Theodore tug boats model like what you did with ten cents this was a amazing vid!

The poor man suffering at straydon shitor

I think Whiff would be an interesting one for you to do.

CGI wins in face design purely for giving us facial expressions beyond smiling

i always thought he was in more of the show, i guess that was just the tapes i had.

Terence returned in all engines go

“he looks like Hank Hill in 1080P

I think terence is important to the franchise

I'd love to see the Troublesome trucks

Wow, this is a great video, keep up the good work!

I love how Terence is just a Tiger I, that is so perfectly stupid.

And hi train boy I love your narrow gauge locomotives}:)

They should have put Terrence in more And can you do Bulgy next?

I just say that I'm still aiming at take along Terence with a good price

Very good love it :)

We need one on Duck if there isnt one already.

Do Derek next!

Well seeing you've done Terence it's only fair that you do Trevor now

Terence was gonna appear in series 8 but was cut (he had a series 8 model), he was gonna appear in series 12 but was cut again

It would be so cool if you made one of Bulgy and Bertie, or even ones of the Sodor's Construction Pack (i know they aren't from the RWS Books but it would be intresting)

I miss Terence having his hairline in his CGI form, but overall I think Arc/Jam-Filled did a nice job on his model. Of course I prefer the original model, but I like both all the same. You should do Lady from TATMR as one of these History Of videos at some point. I imagine you'd have a LOT to talk about her, and there's even an interesting backstory as to how Lady's life size model got to the point where its at now! (before Restore The Magic pulled that donations scam...)

As a kid i always got creeped out by terrence because of he had no eyebrows, but the older i grew that just made me like him more lol

What About Henrietta? Since There Has Been Talk About Rolling Stock Models But I Think The Only Ones Talked About Were Narrow Gauge Slate Trucks And Annie And Clarbel

Maybe for the next one of could do lady bulgy Molly furgus or Neville

You should do episodes on Mavis and Bertie next.

I'd love to see a Trevor video

Marvellous.

classic terrance > cgi terrance i definitely had no clue that legos were involved with part of terrance’s model (or snow plow) that is cool

Can you take a look at trevors model's?

I love Terrance

Love this guy

Please do the history of Harold the helicopter
