Here I post fun facts and goodies about Thomas Live shows! I know almost everything there is to know about the shows so if you need someone to ask, I’m here!

@JosephL74246833 @LJProductions21 It seems initially that was the plan, yes. :)

Figured I’d dust off some old photos to start off this new week. Here’s some photos of the “set models” for Thomas Live on Stage, specifically ‘Thomas Saves the Day’. These photos are dated June 24th, 2006. Hope you all enjoy!

@AveryPerkins9 Hi there! These came from a producer of the Live Stage shows, many years ago. Cheers. :)

went on ebay to find some live tour stuff and I found a big live tour lanyard that sold a while ago

@ChildrensTVArch @specialtrees01 @TankCenter @TheThomasAndFr1 A lot of people got very worked up for nothing. This Curtis Parish fellow especially. I know he’s been on the hunt for a Big Live Tour showing for a very long time.

@ChildrensTVArch @specialtrees01 @TankCenter @TheThomasAndFr1 There are full length Thomas & Friends movies available on YouTube that get passed by. And this specific show is two decades old now! Copyright definitely wouldn’t have been an issue. And if it was, couldn’t he have just uploaded it to Google Drive?

[Thomas & Friends - Live Show Fun Facts @ThomasAboard]

@specialtrees01 @ChildrensTVArch @TankCenter @TheThomasAndFr1 Ditto! I also heard he was worried about uploading it because of copyright? The show isn’t trademarked, no one would’ve done anything about it. And if it was his cousins school project or whatever then why did copyright matter?

[Thomas & Friends - Live Show Fun Facts @ThomasAboard]

It was always clear to me this was just some sad lie. He bought it from the merch stand, but now it’s a school project? Doesn’t add up.. The lack of evidence didn’t help, the excuses were just sad. The fact that he had to lie about this and get many people excited is upsetting.

So it would seem that the VHS copy of The Big Live Tour that Thomas Lawrence supposedly owned was destroyed while being moved to a new house…

@TheThomasAndFr1 Sadly I think the Thomas Lawrence guy is lying and was always lying. Not sure why he did it but the story just doesn’t add up. Hopefully we find an actual source with the big live tour

@ThomasTankMerch Wow!! The original Topham Hatt model from the TV shows. That’s truly awesome.

@CarelessEngine I can dm you the info as it may be too long to fit in a single Twitter message

Here’s a high quality scan of the 2004 All Aboard! Live Tour postergramme owned by Curtis Parish.

@ChildrensTVArch @ShinyEngine16 @TheThomasAndFr1 Have you made an attempt to reunite the original voice cast? That would be very nice.

[Thomas & Friends - Live Show Fun Facts @ThomasAboard]

@ChildrensTVArch @ShinyEngine16 @TheThomasAndFr1 Figured. A lot of people went around saying that it was false and just said to get people to stop emailing them about Thomas. Had a feeling there was no reason to lie

[Thomas & Friends - Live Show Fun Facts @ThomasAboard]

@ChildrensTVArch @ShinyEngine16 @TheThomasAndFr1 You talked to Dan Colman? He did confirm Thomas was cut yes? I heard the plan was to display him in their headquarters or something, but that fell thru and he was cut up

[Thomas & Friends - Live Show Fun Facts @ThomasAboard]

@ChildrensTVArch @ShinyEngine16 @TheThomasAndFr1 That means the Gordon model was cut up, as well as Jack and Harold the Helicopter. What a shame. At least some of it was saved. Joined their brother (Thomas) up in train heaven at least!

@TheThomasAndFr1 Was mentioned numerous times that James was sold without his tender. The tender was even seen in the Greenham storage base when the Percy, James, and Annabelle coach were at the AG.

@ChildrensTVArch @TheThomasAndFr1 Simply incredible!! Looking forward to it!
