Thomas's sides are not blue!

Flying Scotsman or Mallard?


For me it was the Mallard, the lovely blue on that sleek body really makes me feel good. I like the futuristic design but with a steam engine at it's core. My favourite train.

Man, what happened to them? They use to have some pretty cool trains.

I only have one BRIO product and that's Theodore Tugboat himself. I remember wanting to collect all five tugs. And now I wanna collect the Thomas line too, which is expensive af

Knockoffs sucking up shelf space in toy stores. My extended family has a largeish collection of tracks and trains that get passed to the next child in the clan. Some pieces break, others get added. This has been going on for decades. The stuff I inherited as a wee toddler now belong to my younger cousin's kids.

Does anyone make micro brio? I'd be all over it if they did.

>>6432093
No, why would you want that?
The idea would be silly because kids could swallow the parts.

There are obviously model railway stuff but that's much more detailed.

I know there are companies that make semi model railway stuff that are simply the trains with stands or with some moving parts like the wheels instead of the engines/motors of the real things.

I have a few lying around that I've picked up from places.

So simple, yet so effiencient

Why is Brio so comfy?

>>6444235
So comfy.

Does anyone here collect these? Id like to see

why is it so expensive

Man, this thread is bringing back all sorts of memories. I've actually still got my old trains in storage in case I ever get the chance to pass it on to someone someday.

>>6454091
Or if you feel like getting it out, setting it all up and playing with it I bet!

(I too have kept mine for that reason though)


I don't think the Brio road system had come out when I was little but I did have plastic roads that were about similar in concept to the railway stuff. I loved setting that up to go underneath the bridges and to the station. I also collected alot of Brio type vehicles to go on the roads- the dumper truck was cool, diggers and construction vehicles were even better. I also found wooden miniature figures to populate the town.


Another reason I can't get rid of them is because when I do, I remember playing with them but can't bear to part with them.

(For the same reason I've got all my Castle and Knight miniatures still)

>>6454173
the road system didn't come out until 2010
why the fuck didn't they have it when i was a kid?
[spoiler]doesn't stop me from buying it right now but still[/spoiler]

I miss this little guy.

>>6463893
That explains it then. I ended up looking at a collectors site and some of the catologue pages and there's some really cool stuff I would have liked as a kid.
Part of me wishes I could get it, but I know I can't because I'm an adult and there's no way I can justify it to anyone.

For everyone talking about the memories this thread is bringing back, here's a high caliber round of nostalgia straight into your skull. A selection of Brio catalogs.

Because I'm no longer at risk from swallowing my toys and regular brio requires too much space

Thought that was a gold Thomas when I first saw it. I thought surely they can't leave the entire side not painted blue, but nope, that's exactly what they're doing. Fucking hell, Mattel.

Well, I may buy 1 or 2 of these, but besides that, I guess im gonna start buying more Bachmann and Hornby trains.

>>6497582
>overall lack of variety in characters
Can't have more than one train of the same color, or normies won't buy them.

They all look like they have paint chipping off of them.

That's deliberate. It's meant to make them look "premium".
