So this was actually yesterday, but I was pretty infuriated when I saw this:
So this is the bull that scares the dog eventually named “Gremlin” from the Thomas and Friends season 5 episode “Gordon and the Gremlins.”
As you can see in the above picture, the left horn is damaged. The model is currently at Thomas Land at Drayton Manner Park. Drayton Manner has a VERY big history of taking horrible care of the models (engines, animals, people etc) that were donated to the park for display. Many models have been damaged as a result (for instance, the model for Daisy has a broken buffer now, the face for Class 40 fell off, Cranky the Crane’s eyes are now gone, etc), and the people who work there just have a very big “not my problem” mentality with it, and some have even purposely tried to make the Thomas community mad by teasing them with the damaged models. Before his passing in 2008, David Mitton worked really hard to create these props, and the fact that the ones on display are now just becoming continually damaged is just p*ssing on his grave.
