Terence's Driving School

I think it will be great to see something in that area of the park so Thomasland looks finished.

Terrance is now showing on the map in its new location - Thomasland ride 21

This is interesting. Where terence previously was looks like a lake and the old dt&f building is now home to rabbits. Interesting

I must say, I thunk they've done an amazing job with the new Terence area & running 6 cars/tractors, 2 more than previously ran in the zoo

So is the brown building where they store the terences? Looks fantastic though

 

[MPDarby]

I couldn't work out where they store/charge the vehicles. Was no obvious place for them to go unless they just charge them on the track overnight. I may be wrong though

I saw a Sodor Coal and Sodor Scrap logo on one of the buildings. Likely a nod to the Bachmann (an Hornby and Lionel) and Wooden Railway trucks merchandise that had those logos.

Well where the brown double doors are they used to be stored/charged in there but I dont know if they still are. There is a gate where the line is in front of the double doors so maybe they open the gate and drag them in there on a night?

Sod
Sodor crap co is from hornby and sodor coal is from wooden railway

Here are those images of those Scrap and Coal wagons.

I wonder where Drayton got the idea to do that from. Did they just look on Wikimedia and see the first 3 options

No I would imagine they have a few designers that did a lot of research on Thomas during the area's creation to get lots of extra details in and they probably just thought this would be a good idea.

Ah ok that makes sense

Yes originally the Charging stations was behind the Brown doors there is 8 vehicles so they could charge 2 at a time while keeping the ride open. It wasn’t that busy yesterday
