Hi there,

I would personally like to see the following below as part of the 2026 announcements.   

N Scale
- Edward
- Rosie
- Mavis
- Mail Trucks
- Troublesome Truck Variants

HO Scale
- Iron 'Arry (re-introduced)
- Iron Bert (re-introduced)
- Whiff
- Scruff
- Hiro

Narrow Gauge
- Luke
- Duncan (re-announced)
- Narrow Gauge Troublesome Trucks

I would absolutely love to see old classics like Stepney, Class 40, Murdoch and Duke however, understanding Bachmann's decision making process, they always like to (for the most part and currently) draw ideas from the CGI era. I do hope they get more creative freedom from Mattel and secure reasonable costs to produce classic characters in future however, for now, I believe CGI is the main focus. 

Whiff and bringing back Arry and Bert are solid ideas .

Hiro seems a bit to big since Scotsman is in development. But I'd love to see him . However here is an idea that I have

Since Thomas is so popular in Japan that Hiro would be a good idea . Why not make Kenji . A lot of American people want a O series with and without a face .
Kenji and his coach would share a lot of the same design and while idk how they could possiblely use parts of the design for the coach minus the nose and moving eyes of course .
