User blog:ThomasEmilyFan/US VHS/DVD Collectors Edition Ideas: Best of Toby (2006 Version)

(I was thinking that around the time after Tales From The Tracks was released  that this could have been released around summer 2006 and the last Thomas video to be released on VHS)

Best of Toby is a US VHS/DVD release featuring two first season episodes, one third season episode  and two fourth season episodes narrated by George Carlin and two fifth season episodes and two sixth season episodes narrated by Alec Baldwin. It was distributed by Anchor Bay in 2006 and reissued by Lionsgate in 2009.

Description
Known for being the only steam tram on the Island of Sodor and for carrying his coach Henrietta, Toby first met Sir Topham Hatt when his family was on holiday and ever since then, Toby became a great help to him and his engines.

Toby is one of the wisest engine on Sodor and does look old-fashioned but is really useful. Now you can share this exciting commorative Collectors Edition of nine stories with everyone's favorite No. 7 steam tram. Remember the time when Thomas was in trouble with the police and Toby came to his rescue by frightening the new constable - - - or when he managed to teach Percy and Daisy a thing or two about special attractions and bulls. Toby and his crew are left on night watch at an old mine. Could there really be an old warrior ghost? When the foghorn is crushed by a landslide, will Cyril the fogman save Toby from a dreadful accident?

Watch and find out as you hop on board Henrietta and Toby will take you a magical and unforgetable journey across the Island.
