Nostalgia Unearthed

There’s is obviously some confusion here
There is only one variant of this set and that is the one with the propeller plane.
The propeller plane set was introduced in 2005 as with the calling all engines movie.





There is no such thing as a second variant of this set. The Jeremy variant you are all thinking of is actually a completely different set called Thomas and Jeremy airport set


The differences are the propeller set is on top of the sodor airport flying around with the sodor airport just being a station
The Jeremy set has a different sodor airport with it having a loop of track and then an inside loop of clear road also connecting to the station

Now back to the original set, the propeller plane wasn’t in there to reference ww2 planes, but to accurately depict the scenes of the calling all engines movie in which the propeller plane makes an appearance in
