Thomas the Tank

[fuzzybroken]

I always thought it was funny when people called it Thomas the TANK. Thomas is a tank ENGINE, not an implement of war. Then again, it might make an interesting concept after all! :D

ou need to get a copy of the big book of Thomas "Thomas the Tank Engine" by Rev. W Awdry, Random House Value Publishing, New York 1996. Inside the covers is a map and layout (general) of the island of Sodor and Sir Top'em Hats railway.

Welcome.

An article on the production of Thomas the Tank Engine was published in Model Railroader many years ago (I think it was in the early 90s). From what I recall the "Layout" is actually a series of modules that rest on casters. They used a large room (something like a basketball court I guess) and moved the modules around to assemble a scene and shoot it. I know it is much more complicated than that but I think you get the picture. Enjoy your visits with us. - Ed

just joined this forum today. I've been in the hobby for upteen years and I've gotten my grandson started. My question is, "Does any one have a copy of the track layout that Thomas the Tank engine is taped. "? I was given several VCR tapes of Thomas the Tank and Friends. The layout that is used for this show looks good. I would like to get a copy of the layout. This would help answer a question.[?][:o)]
