Plenty of accidents and crashes in this video as I compare a real Thomas Tank Engine to a very clever copy. Both items cost around $20, but one is a complete train set, the other a single toy engine. Both engines are set various challenges to see which one has the right stuff.

Be very careful what you purchase online and in some shopping regions, these copy toys can look very convincing and the low prices on them attract easy sales.The contest to win the real / fake Thomas is now closed.
