Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Knapford Station

Product Information

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. During Clive Spong's time as illustrator, the station was usually incorrectly depicted as having six terminal roads and two glass canopies, with the "through" road outside the station's glass roof. With so much to do, Thomas Land has proven a hit with families and has become a destination in its own right, to the point now where it is open for 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 coaches in the Thomas' Christmas Delivery and Thomas' Christmas Special sets are Emily's coaches repainted.

The narrow gauge van's roofs were most likely originally painted grey but were later changed to white as evidenced by the fact that the underside of the roofs is painted grey and visibly painted white on top afterwards. This change is also likely since the roofs are slightly darker than the Peco models' roofs as a result of being repainted. More About Thomas the Tank Engine - Thomas, Percy and the Coal ( mentioned), The Runaway and Better Late Than Never For centuries the area below Elsbridge had been flooded both at high tide and when the river was in spate. At other times it looked innocent enough to tempt unwary invaders to choose this route inland. All without exception found themselves engulfed in bog.Bachmann models were used as references for the Percy, James, Gordon and Emily replicas at Thomas Land US. When the series first aired in 1984, the main title fonts were shown in pink. Then, when they were shown individually in 1985, the colour of the title fonts were changed to a bright red, which was also used for the second series. 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. Oliver, Rosie, Ryan, Paxton and Daisy are the only HO locomotives to be based purely on their CGI renders. All other models, including those with CGI faces, borrow elements from the model series builds. Unlike the red version of the mail coach, the green version does not have its CGI mail emblems nor 'Sodor Mail' written in white. It's likely that this is meant to be the Utility Vans, as they are the same type of vans.

The original releases of Emily's coaches had a matte coating on the roofs, but the 2017 releases have the roofs glossed. Troublesome Engines - Henry and the Elephant, Tenders and Turntables, Trouble in the Shed and Percy Runs Away 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. Gordon's express coaches were the first Bachmann Thomas products to be reintroduced following their discontinuation. In addition, these coaches were also given a yellow stripe to match their CGI counterparts.

In close-up shots, the large scale Thomas is used (albeit with the face altered to resemble the HO one for consistency).

The HO scale oil, cream and raspberry syrup tankers and the mail coach were all initially released as they appeared in the model series but were reissued with their CGI series insignia in 2011. 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." In the closeup of Gordon when he says "Well, little Thomas, now you know what hard work means, don't you?" Wellsworth station is missing and there is also a gap between his eyes. After a while, the express finally comes to a stop at Wellsworth Station. Thomas is very tired and feels very silly and exhausted. He is uncoupled from the train, has himself turned around on the turntable and moves into a siding where he has a long drink from the water tower. He then wearily puffs home, having learned not to act so cheeky towards Gordon again. The name is likely derived from Sidmouth, a town on the English Channel in Devon, South West England.
