The whistle was the most beautiful Thomas had ever heard. It sounded almost musical! He looked around, but couldn’t tell where it was coming from. At that moment, the ground beneath him began to shake. Thomas tried to hide behind what looked like a huge flower. But when it lifted up and flew away, Thomas saw that it was an enormous butterfly! Suddenly, a gigantic foot landed in front of him. Awdry's requested models, to which Lines Bros. subsidiary, Meccano Ltd, responded with Percy and wagons in 1967. [14] Hornby Hobbies launched their 'The World of Thomas the Tank Engine' in the 1985. This was a 00 gauge range of model railway train sets and models which they made for the next 30 years. For Thomas they used their 1979 model of a LB&SCR model of a Class E2 tank engine which they suitably altered with a face and extended tanks to look like Thomas. Many of the characters in the 'Railway Series' books were thus modelled (with faces) by Hornby, including characters added for the television series. They also supplied suitable coaches, wagons and lineside buildings within the series. The title of the episode is a reference to the Neil Young song of the same name and the 1956 documentary "Railway with a Heart of Gold." According to Michael White, the original working title for this episode was Oldies but Goldies, which was a reference to lyrics from the song, " Toby", however "Heart of Gold" was decided upon instead. [1] Principal photography began on August 2, 1999, and wrapped on October 15, 1999. [9] The movie was filmed at the Strasburg Rail Road in Strasburg, Pennsylvania (United States), as well as in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and on the Isle of Man. Castletown railway station on the Isle of Man Railway formed part of Shining Time Station and the goods shed at Port St Mary railway station became Burnett Stone's workshop. Running shots of the " Indian Valley" train were filmed at the Strasburg Rail Road location. The large passenger station where Lily boards the train is the Harrisburg Transportation Center. Norfolk & Western 4-8-0 475 was repainted as the Indian Valley locomotive. Sodor was realised using models and chroma key. The models were animated using live action remote control, as on the television series. The model sequences were filmed in Toronto instead of Shepperton Studios, the "home" of the original TV show; however, several of the show's key staff were flown over to participate. The Magic Railway was created using models, CGI, and water-coloured matte paintings. William Thomas (January 1, 2000). " Thomas And The Magic Railroad Review". Empire.
