Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Knapford Station

Product Information

In addition, he is also the first character that was first made in Large Scale, unlike the other characters who were all first made in HO scale and then made again into large scale. By 1905, the Ulfstead Mining Company had become dissatisfied with Knapford as a port and adopted A. W. Dry's suggestion of extending their tramway along this coastal road to Tidmouth and Mr. Topham Hatt, a young engineer from Swindon who had lately joined A. W. Dry's staff, built some light steam locomotives for them. In the first shot of Thomas puffing into Knapford station, studio equipment is briefly visible behind the nearby buildings before the camera pans closer to the station. The model that would later be used for Elizabeth II in the fourth series can be seen in this episode.

In the Shining Time Station episode, A Place Unlike Any Other, Ringo Starr's line "and off he ran laughing" was used, much like its UK counterpart, while some US dubs of Ringo Starr's dub have him say, "And off Thomas ran laughing." Skarloey is the first locomotive model in the range to not have moving eyes and the first HO scale tank engine with an open cab. A theme park within a theme park, Thomas Land at Drayton Manor is a large themed area with rides, attractions and shows based Annie and Clarabel | Henrietta | Victoria | Thomas' Special Coach | The Quarryman's Coach | Observation Saloon Coaches Thomas and Percy's HO models were recycled as different models with the same moulds in the Bachmann Junior range. Thomas' model was repainted into engines such as 2005, Billy and Stuart. Percy's model was repainted into GWR locomotives and Greg. Interestingly, they were given front couplings.The human figures were originally marketed as HO scale but have been relabelled large scale since the introduction of said range due to being too large. The German audiobook features an extra scene of Gordon feeling guilty about what he did to Thomas, which could have foreshadowed him and Thomas forming their alliance in Down the Mine.

The whistle pattern Thomas makes when he wakes Gordon up for the second time is used in Mister Moose's Fun Time whenever Thomas' segment in that show is coming up next. Due to sharing Diesel's body shell, the HO Paxton's eyes are raised higher than they are in the show, thus causing his whole face to be incorrectly proportioned. This issue was fixed on the large scale model, as both Paxton and Diesel were designed at the same time. The blue narrow gauge van has the letters "SR" painted on the side which stand for "Skarloey Railway", while the red van does not, as it's based on Cora from The Railway Series. Interestingly enough, the large scale Brake Van similarly has the letters "NW" for " North Western".Tidmouth | Knapford | Crosby | Wellsworth | Maron | Cronk | Killdane | Kellsthorpe Road | Crovan's Gate | Vicarstown | Barrow-in-Furness Thomas is a blue tank engine who works at a big station called Knapford on an island called Sodor. His job is to fetch coaches for the other engines and then take them away the engines are done pulling them and when the passengers get out. Thomas thinks he works the hardest and is often very cheeky to the bigger engines, especially a big and proud engine named Gordon who pulls the Express. Thomas likes to startle him rudely by teasing him with his loud whistle. Several other attractions can be found near Tidmouth Hault at the far end of the zoo, including an adventure play area and the Spencer's footplate flattens out at the cab, unlike his television series model which keeps going at a slope. His boiler is also too thin. well its not as if it is a real steam railway doing a day out with thomas, and ive seen other thomas layouts before so i doubt they will have a problem with me doing a model layout. they really do like to ruin peoples fun though!

This episode marks the only appearance of Thomas' yawning and drowsy faces until the eighth series and the second series episode, Thomas Comes to Breakfast, respectively. The roofs are attached and have plastic frames and rectangles attached underneath them to resemble windows, unlike the large scale models that have unattached roofs. Emily's coaches and the Christmas coaches have similar features. When the N scale Thomas and Percy models were first revealed, their faces had been switched around and had swapped eyebrows.
