Model Reference Photos
In 2009, all the props used in the Television Series would be sent over for photo reference for the animators, however due to some of the models being too large to ship over, some photos were taken directly at the storage unit where the props were housed. These photos additionally contained asset codes to help identify the props better, with each item being marked "TF" (standing for "Thomas Friends") followed by a number, although some like the small scale narrow gauge engine faces did not feature this and were instead marked with the name of the character and SS (standing for small scale) with the asset code being added in the file name when sent to Nitrogen Studios. Following these photos being taken the models were either returned to storage, put on display at Nitrogen's model display (as seen above), given to crew members or thrown out.
