The Prop Gallery is a British prop dealership company founded in 2011. They started selling props from the model series of Thomas & Friends around 2013/2014, with a "Sodor Shilling" crew gift; following this they would on and off list Thomas items for sale amongst their large sales of items from other productions. In early 2022, the company started to sell more Thomas items, way more than the last decade, and ever since, they have regularly listed production assets from the television series on their website ranging from faces, pieces of track, decal sheets, and figurines among other items.
The company was founded by Jamie Smyth and Derek Rushton, two individuals who had passion for preserving items from various productions, with Jamie starting in 1989 at 13 years old when writing to the producer of the television show Doctor Who, and in return gaining a small prop as a gift. Derek on the other hand would start prop collecting in 2005.
