🇺🇸 Hank the American Engine has a new home just in time to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary! 🇺🇸✨ Another engine a part of the @OGThomasFan collection, this original screen-used Hank prop from the Thomas & Friends TV series appeared in the Season 12 episode Heave Ho Thomas

Newly obtained and scanned for The Magic Railroad Archival Collection -- A promotional flyer and activity sheet which were given out during the Australian cinema run of the film back in December 2000-early 01.

@Mikah_64000 @Tapped549080 Great spotting. My Hank A is the higher cab on the right when compared to pics of the model currently in Japan which h is lower

@OGThomasFan @Tapped549080 You can see it with the top of the cab, the left one's is lower than the right's one

@JohnSeriousmen That would be a sight to see but not possible at this time

@OGThomasFan Would you ever consider loaning him to the Railroad Museum of PA so he can finally be displayed alongside an actual K4?

@mike91586020071 I hope to test him eventually, he should work given he was one of the last models produced

@OGThomasFan I absolutely love the modeling of the series when they used the gauge 1 models congrats I’m happy he and Peter same are in safe hands congrats! also do you know how bad the damaging on his wheels and inter workings are,do they still work? If so that’s interesting. Congrats again

@Mikah_64000 @Tapped549080 I have identified one tell but it's not clear enough in this behind the scenes pictures

@Tapped549080 @OGThomasFan Well really the only distinctions between the two seems to be the size

@Tapped549080 This image is sadly too low quality to tell the differences

@OGThomasFan is the Hank model the first one or second?

@SudrianRepublic Yes this Hank was at Drayton Manor

@OGThomasFan based off of the damage to the cowcatcher can I assume this one was the one on display at Drayton?

@GeoffreyS94 I love seeing historic shots of Hank out and about

@OGThomasFan Congraulations from a fellow British Thomas fan! Partner👍👍🇺🇸🚂

@Traindude910 @tankncam Hank A

@OGThomasFan @tankncam So which one did you get

The funniest part is that no one knows if it’s the screen used one or spare one

@TheCornyM2 @HeiselProduct2 I would like to see someone else attempt this first before I would even try lol

@OGThomasFan @HeiselProduct2 I believe a simple dremel to the wheel rims should be able to take the corrosion off. this same corrosion appeared on 10LEIGH10's Billy but it seems he was able to get it off

@carlos_o2094 $$$

@OGThomasFan Sometimes I wonder why HIT made these characters with their only purpose being toy sales

@PRRFanDoesTrain Where did you think he went?

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME DUDE HE'S STILL WITH US!!!

@CubeHooded @ThomasTankMerch None that I can tell other than corrosion

@OGThomasFan @ThomasTankMerch Since this is the one from drayton (I think), what damage has he gained over the years?

@Bobbyandmog_ One day getting the corrosion off his gears

@OGThomasFan Will you be fixing hank up?

@Webby_vduck Hank is too large to go places like Peter Sam did in the past

@OGThomasFan Will he be going places or is he (and LS Peter Sam) to big to carry around

@tankncam Ye

@OGThomasFan Oh shish fr?!

@HeiselProduct2 Yes

@OGThomasFan So I got a question; that smiling face has its eyes molded in, right?

@pluggleplug One day, I want to see that too

@OGThomasFan we need to see hank and peter sam together

@TheCornyM2 I hope so, eventually I will test him

@OGThomasFan Does Hank run??
