I see they are adding the Sodor Shipping Company, the goods station near Tidmouth Sheds, the warehouse building and the bridge at Wellsworth Station. I wonder if Henry's Tunnel and Wellsworth Station will be added.

I think been in there it can be looked after better as Thomas hasn’t moved since 2021 and don’t know where Edward went.

Well, Edward's model was restored and displayed at the Clearwater Events at the Midland Railway in 2021 and 2022 with other props and modelsfrom Thomas and Friends and TUGS. I do believe Stepney and Trevor's models went back to storage in 2018. The same thing happened to Terence and Daisy in 2022. (they removed Daisy, so that her chassis could be used for BoCo's model for the Clearwater Events)

Would it be derailing the thread if I asked the clever folks on here what they think will happen at the top end of the zoo now the exhibition is moving.
There have been mentions before about Terrence moving so it would seem that all the Thomas items are moving back into ThomasLand.
Would this possily see a change in theming for Mrs Kyndley's too? I think all the theme benched seating was shifted a good while back (around the time of the flooding was it?) to the overflow eating area by Harold's Heli Tours.
There has been an investment into the Parma Wallabies enclosure so may it be more animals?
The Amazon exhibit was never properly finished either, may this be resurrected too?

Dunno, but I came across a Thomas Forum where they were all up in arms about how the models were being treated and used. I'm guessing that if the original owners wanted it back they'd have put into place more stringent conditions as to operation.

I imagine that would tie in with the new ride for 2023, with Maithwaite possibly being used for the station/queue line of it.

Yes, that could be a tie in. I see they are also trying to make Farmer McColl's Farm and Brendam Docks along with trying to recreate Great Waterton and Windmill from the original layout/display.

As a rather big Thomas nerd, am happy to see this going to a more appropriate spot with seemingly better conditions; I've heard rumours of the skylight here being covered up to prevent damage to the models (a major criticism from the rest of the Thomas fandom being the sunroof and constant running of the trains damaging these screen-used models unintended for lengthy runs), so it seems there's been a lot more consideration going into this.
The presence of previously unearthed props like the Sodor Shipping Co. warehouse and Maithwaite make me interested what's planned here!

Don't apologise for being short. It can't be helped.
Apologise for not taking a box with you.

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 guess they had gone back into storage.
