Thomas P*rn, or, Steampunk for the Smaller Set
A couple generous donations from friends, an extravagant grandmother, parents who indulge a little too much — life of a first grandchild on both sides. The shelf is grandma craft.

Oh I have a little one that would adore this...there is osmething I like about Thomas...I guess it has history unlike some of the newer train stories out there. Lovely display
Oh yes, we are only too familiar with the p*rn aspects of said little engine. "Very useful."
Great containment! They are so much more loveable when there are neat and orderly.
What a great way to display it all! My oldest daughter was a first grandchild and she was quite overindulged so I know where you're coming from ;)
I love the display! So much more pleasing to look at than an overflowing toy box ...
The great display is only slightly eclipsed by the BRILLIANT title!
I was trying to think what toy pr0n we were exposed to as children. Most of it seemed to be advertised during Saturday morning cartoons, and since I didn't watch those, I missed a lot of what I was supposed to like. Such as Barbie, whom I didn't know even existed until I was 7 or 8. I was a square even as a child....
hee hee
we have multiple thomases, too - in various stages of their faces wearing off. they're actually really creepy looking. ;^)
i just packed away all our thomas & friends and track .. for the grandkids i guess. wah.
Great looking display.
totally cool!
ah, looks like grandma has her craft groove on....and we went thru the thomas porn stage too, i miss buildig layouts with Ben...
We have the first grandchild syndrome too! But our collection isn't nearly as organized as this!
Wow- what a wonderful collection. I love the rainbow arrangement. I also know many toddlers (and grown men) who would be green with envy.
But it is so pretty!
this is by far the best title for a post ever.
i love the color orgaization here! train porn is right!
I've given you a wee award -come and see!
Fun idea! We've got a box full of thomas in the closet. I wasn't sure what to do with them, definately NOT destined for a yard sale. I think I loved them almost as much as baby bear did...until he discovered ninja turtles.
The porn is totally in the Rainbow Order!
Love the trains. Great shot!!
ooooh this is beautiful!
and the colours arrangement!
lucky boy
*sigh
i loved the thomas phase! just last week i gave away our table, tracks, trains and all the sodor island goodness...
so sad that my littles aren't so little any more. but they went to the loving home of a friend of mine with 5 sons (7 and under). there is still much play left in those trains
Recently, we went to the library and there was an advertised event taking place with a vintage miniature steam train set-up and the train's owner there to answer questions. Quite frankly, it reminded me of a toddler version of a strip club because all the little boys were wandering around the train set with this glassy-eyed look of full rapture. Even the old man who owned the set up had that look. I actually found it to be the cutest thing ever---such earnest passion.
I like the fact that you can see and enjoy them, even when not in use. I also, of course, appreciate the rainbow order to it. I'd have to integrate Bob the Builder into our shelf too... and then one for the die cast Disney CARS. Still. A great idea!
