Introduce yourself here!

Ucwepn

Thankyou for deciding to join this TOMY/Trackmaster/other train community please introduce yourself in this thread to prove you are human and not a bot/spammer.

Have fun!

I am known around the internet as ucwepn but my name is Chris, I had the idea for this forum as there was no real place for us english speaking folk to discuss such important matters hehe, so my Son and I took it upon ourselves to create BPT, the name ucwepn is from one forum I was a member of that was Holden Torana (car) related and it was going to be my car numberplate at the time as I had a UC torana and I thought it was a bit of a weapon (hotted up) and we are only allowed 6 digit license plates here, I started to use that name online and in online videogames and has been stuck with me for over 10 years, I am a train collector and maker of youtube videos for Plarail/TOMY/Trackmaster trains since 2011 and a recent modification addict including speed upgrades and visual improvements to these trains. I keep my youtube channel kid/family friendly and I will try and keep this forum in the same condition 😃 My other hobbies are train related and car related in some way or another: Holden cars (including my own), Hotwheels car collecting and customizing, rc cars, model railways, real railways including photography and videomaking of them.

HankAmericanEngine

Howdy everyone!

I'm HankAmericanEngine from YouTube! You know, the guy who rants, raves, and rages at the shortcomings of Fisher-Price with their TrackMaster products? Asides from the blatant obvious of being a model railroader (a novice I must add), I enjoy trainspotting, reading, writing, and many other sorts of hobbies with my spare time. I've got a few mini-series under my belt (Railfanning on Sodor, HankAmericanEngine Character Review), and am hoping to stir up enough interest to begin my own sort of series on YouTube; character profiles will be up soon, so keep an eye on my channel for those to come in the near future!

I'm not one to criticize on anything, unless it is constructive or giving praise, and I don't bite either, so feel free to talk to me about anything you like regarding my videos, someone else's, or whatever suits your fancy! Hope to make many more friends here!

Hi, I'm Jaytrain1 and I've been collecting Ertls, and now Take and Play. I guess I'm a moderate collector, and this forum is ideal for me to show off my tastes in collecting Thomas engines and what have you. So yeah...

Gerisplarail1

Hi I am Geris I collect Tomy Plarail Trains and Tomica Cars, I am a recovering alcoholic and a Sous Chef at a Country Club. I am located in the U.S. and am currently working on my website: myplaraildepot which can be viewed in the my collections section of this forum. If you have questions about Japanese trains feel free to ask if I don't know the answer I am sure together we can find out! One of the Things about this hobby I love is that I am always learning new things and there is always some new product around the corner, I love helping and learning from my plarail peers!
I would also like to add I am a father of three none of the kids were or are into trains as much as Dad is! My six year old does like to play with plarail but now that I have it set up in the basement she is not as involved as when I had it taking up half the living room (much to my wife's displeasure, hence why it is in the basement on tables now)

ActionChugger

Have no fear! ActionChugger is here! hahaha
Resides in the USA near the Nations Capital, Plarail addict since November 2013 (It is all for my son Evan Almighty!)
My other hobbies are Motorcycles and DJaying. My day job is located next to train tracks. I can see the train pass by like Amtrak and CSX.
Sorry guys but my main passion at the moment is djaying and been doing this since the late 80s 🙂
So Im torn buying between dj gear or plarail stuff LOL
Some of my dj setup below.

Trackmaster-Rail-Yard

Hi! I'm Trackmaster Rail Yard! I am a huge collecter of trackmaster products, and am about midway in creating a layout using ho scale scenery with trackmaster track and locomotives!

Hi! I'm Trackmaster Rail Yard! I am a huge collecter of Trackmaster locomotives , and am always on the hunt for a certain locomotive! I love Thomas And Friends, and one day wish to own my own Thomas And Friends Exhibit featuring trackmaster trains showing the sights of Sodor! I don't care too much for Chuggington , but still find it to be okay. Thomas over all though 😉. I like James and Percy, and often find them to be my favorite in most episodes, but I love all Thomas charectors! I am currently on the hunt for trackmaster Bill and Ben, Donald and Douglas, and Boco. I need my branch liners !🙂 I hope to see some older Thomas charectors to return to the series, like the Arlesdale Engines or the Culdee Fell. Trackmaster Forever!

Welcome aboard Trackmaster-Rail-Yard. Nice to see you here and will look forward to hearing about your collection and your attempts to acquire your missing pieces.

Hi there Trackmaster !

eilif

Hi,
I'm Eilif. I picked up a batch of Tomy Thomas and Friends Plarail at a resale shop last year and went a bit nuts on Craigslist. Looking forward to sharing my evolving layout, and my experiments combining Plarail with LEGO.

Really glad to see theforums are no longer blocked by my internet service.

Ucwepn

Welcome eilif! the reason it is no longer blocked is because we are now a proper .com domain. We now officially own the site and the .com so there is no-one to tell us what we can and can't do, also we are not blocked by isp's who block free hosting services.

jdogman

Hello! So I am jdogman, commonly found on the Thomas TrackMaster Wikia. You'll only know my online persona as a guy who likes Thomas. I haven't been on many forums in years so hopefully now getting wiser from past experiences I'll be able to make proper posts on here, and it will be nice to have conversations with others who are deep in their toys. I have even got some ideas for the forum boards in future. I hope there won't be much confusion with the right and wrong names of the ranges on here as I keep seeing different people give their own names to each range. I'm sorry if I ever get worked up about it because I have gone on about it on other places for years, and even I was once abducted into calling the Motor Road and Rail range by its company's name before I realised my mistake. I hate speaking to people like I'm a teacher or something as well. That said, depending on my other activities I may hang around on here sometimes. I've got a collection consisting mainly of my early toys, but I do have some TrackMaster items, all sitting in boxes, and when the time comes I hope to build an awesome layout if I know what I'm doing.

Ucwepn

Welcome Jdogman glad to have you here, hopefully you understand we are not Thomas toy experts and do not claim to be so we often overlook mistakes posted by our members and hopefully you will do the same, we are all united by a common interest and these boards are policed by a handpicked moderation team, this ensures only mature discussions take place. We are also always open to the odd bit of relevant fun of course 🙂

Hello Jdogman

Glad you have decided to jump on board and ride this train. You got that right, we are "deep in their toys" 😃 and look forward to more discussions and to see what you have in your collection. As long as we know what we are talking about, the exact names aren't important.
