I am excited to announce that I am the new owner and caretaker of the large scale Donkey and Girl prop figures seen in Thomas and Friends.
These characters are seen at Norramby Beach in episodes such as “Seeing the Sights” and “Percy and the Oil Painting.”

Farmer Trotter couldn’t hide his excitement! Peter Sam dropped off a very special load at the farm, and Trotter made sure to wear his favorite green sweater just to match Sodor’s proudest narrow-gauge engine. Trotter owned by @MachanofSodor

Hi everyone! Thanks to our GoFundMe and a lot of hard work, @MachanofSodor now has a 3D scanner and has begun scanning his faces!
Here are the first 5, with more to be released in batches as they’re scanned. Find them in their character folders here:

Hank saw a small engine pulling a flatbed around the bend. It was Peter Sam with a very special passenger, @MachanofSodor riding in his cab! Resting on the flatbed were two missing prop faces of Hank himself. Thanks Machan for selling these faces and reuniting them with Hank!
Today I’m happy to share the original Elephant Keeper small scale figure prop from my collection. He was first seen in one of my favorite episodes, Henry and the Elephant. Hopefully next time Topham Circus is in town, he’ll be able to keep the elephant out of Henry’s tunnel!
Continuing the Horrid Lorries theme, here is my Lorry 2 sad face (originally 12, later 2B). This is an original prop from the unused second set of faces. While considered Lorry 2, this face will always remind me of the sunken lorry as it was used on screen (and my favorite).
Difficult news today. Truly a wonderful person and my all time favorite actor. Rest in Peace Sam, or as I’ll always think of you, Dr. Grant.
Perhaps the most confusing of all faces to keep track of are the Horrid Lorry faces. While each of the three lorries had their own unique faces (identified by unique noses and eyebrows) the crew would often swap them around on the models and even numbered them wrong, and (1/3)
arranged them wrong on the face reference sheets. Generally it is agreed that Lorry 1 has the thin nose and pointed eyebrows. These two faces are original props from the unused second set. Lorry 1’s smiling face, originally 2 then 2a. Also 5a (originally 1d) the unused (2/3)
Today’s prop reveal is this original S3 workman figure. He can be seen throughout the show, often showing up when workmen are needed. It must be so interesting working around the troublesome trucks! If you’ve seen him in an episode, comment below!
Time for another prop reveal! This time it’s Alfie’s original laughing face first used in S6. Used often as a smiling expression, this face is now reunited with his other original smile face #5.
