Thomas & Friends Exhibition

[Themeparksandy1981]

The 1 person I spoke to who was returning from their break and just said to me it be late Summer and that was months ago.
As I mainly go on a Sunday afternoon no one is there so it’s been easy to take pictures but as the park closed this Sunday to the public I’m going Saturday instead to see the Viking event so will pop up again.

I think the pictures I took last week shows that the model is nearly complete and I’m sure it must be all wired in with the engines been tested very soon.

Great watertown is almost complete. When I was speaking to a worker he said that it was almost done and should open by Halloween

What about Bulgy's Bridge?

You could always walk up through the Thomas Land shop. (not saying you have to, just a suggestion)

[Admin Note!] I deleted a few comments which were not adding to the conversation (e.g random letters & symbols)

Please can I ask that you stop pushing eachother for updates. If someone has an update it will be shared here. We all go to the park for our own reasons & have lives outside of Drayton (not on park every week) - this includes tagging users for updates.

Thanks all

*chuckles* I do like that they made a little story where George smashes a telephone pole and Miss Jenny and Jem Cole tell him off.

I do like the fact they adding more details to this model. I see that Diesel been added to the display but sure if he will run or just sit on unused rails.

If he is a replica model, I guess it would be most likely that he will be running.

How did u get that picture of Elithbirth isn't that bit down other side?

 

[Steamenginelover]

Idk it's on website

Well, I checked on the TTTE Wiki, and it just said that faces were present during construction. Nothing about the model being there.

 

[Elise]

I wouldn't say anything is set in stone until the exhibition opens.
Wiki pages can be edited and a lot of information seems to vary depending on who you speak to

I cannot confirm / deny any information as I have never spoken to anyone around the exhibition as its always empty when I go up there.

All will be revealed in due time. It won't be long now until it opens and you'll get to see exactly who is there / where.

I'm not sure the houses behind Maithwaite Station is meant to be a reference to the BBC sitcom Oh Doctor Beeching since there were some houses next to Hatley station in the show.

You could be right.
