The Everything Thomas Topic

At last, we finally get to see HO Scale Rebecca fully painted. Beau is expected to arrive in stock by the end of June. N Scale Gordon has been pushed back to October, most likely so that there's not so much of a gap between him and the N Scale Express Coaches, which they have made progress on. It was N Scale Diesel and Paxton that hadn't been started on at the time the catalog was released. N Scale Emily, as well as her coaches and her set, are expected to arrive in November, if nothing goes wrong. They're still waiting on the first unpainted samples of HO Scale Stanley and Sir Handel, which there has been good progress on those. We might see them within the next few months.

There are currently no big plans for the 80th Anniversary next year at this time because they are still catching up on lots of products that haven't been released yet. They just recently revealed N Scale Henrietta fully painted, and her having a face had very mixed reactions. Some were okay with it, but I've seen many who were quite disappointed, all because she didn't have a face in the model series. It made perfect sense for Henrietta to have a face, so that she could better interact with Toby. Hannah can be made using the same tooling. Lots of products are supposed to arrive in stock this year, and maybe we'll get some big surprises in the 2025 catalog.

No worries. There were posts that were deleted, and there's definitely a reason.

Fair enough. I'll just move on from this topic and avoid going around in circles.


Moving on Rebecca is a really good model I haven't had the chance to say that yet. Since Sir Handel and Stanley's samples are on the way I hope they'll be just as good. Hoping to see them in June but setting my expectations for the unpainted samples to be revealed in July just to not get my hopes up.
