Thomas & Friends Exhibition

[Themeparksandy1981]

I think it’s better having it at a lower level so young kids can see all the engines running .

I agree with you on that. Or maybe build another building to house the model exhibition.

So if theses are new models I wonder if the original that was used in the tv show has gone back to the owners.

I think they are the originals still as on the Thomas land (Drayton manor) wiki page it says all the engines on the original display will be back on running with Thomas back and a new engine either salty or a brass percy

I can see farmer mcolls farm is on

Do we have a date for when the exhibition is going to be completed/open?

 

[Charliie]

I think it will coincide with the may bank holiday. Nothing has been confirmed but if the rumours are true that they are trying to open the new Thomas ride in may , they may open the exhibition to coincide with this.

Will you just see this coming of Winston or from the shop

 

[Charliie]

It’s in the area between the exit of winston and the large Thomas shop. It’s replaced the old green screen photo shop.

Oh ok will they be a new entrance tho from the shop in or will we just see it after being on Winston's whistle stop tours when the exhibition opens

This is what I learnt from TemyStenk from what he was told by employees: Only replica models will be running according to employees, with the original engine props from the show present on the layout being static and a narrow gauge section is to be incorporated.

Never mind lol

Not the original engine props, just the replica models of the engines.

 

[thomasfan11]

So where will the originals be? And does this mean new engines

Well the original models will be on static display on the on the layout. And I have heard that either Salty or one of Percy's models will be on the display. I kinda wish that one of James and Emily's models were on the layout.
