The Everything Thomas Topic

[Awesometrain77]

Oh wow so this stream was a mixed bag glad to know the gunpowder vans are coming soon . Salty in 2027 is a long time .

The TT 7

Oh boy I wish I could say I am happy . But no . First off I would get it if Bachmann only had the international ones references . But they did not they could have made a model face and it would have been the same process according to Matt they had to make it from scratch. Man it's a shame but oh well . I feel like it's gonna be a troublesome truck 6 situation . Ideally I wanted this van to have a model series face . I get that Bachmann is trying to make good standing with Mattel but for a troublesome van I feel like it could have had a more expressive face like the one seen in haunted Henry

I saw the new reveals on the Thomas Tuesday stream. The one product I can't wait for is the China Clay Truck. If I get a couple, they'll look great with my models of Bill and Ben. The load has the same type of tooling like the coal load, but with a different looking appearance. I didn't expect the load to look brownish instead of white like china clay normally is. However, I did read that china clay can turn brown if exposed to impurities. Since I may be getting multiple china clay wagons, I made paint one of the china clay loads white.

I enjoyed yesterday's stream showing the upcoming projects.

glad that the china clay wagons were shown off I'm definitely going to buy a few of them. (I don't know how many I'd buy i think they turned out really good). and glad that the tar tanker is seeing a release by summer. (as I said I at least want to buy four of them as I once said there were always four in a consist).

still don't know about buying the upcoming new milk tanker. Just think I'd ratherstick with the tidmoth milk tanker. Just on the fence with that one. same with the upcoming fuel tanker

and of course I'm really hyped for troublesome truck 7. (it looks really good). I honestly think the 12 to van is the best new rolling stock bachmann has done in a long while. (I own now four of the grey one's and I love them i thought of buying more but that's a bit overkill I just love those vans).

and matt said that they may do more troublesome trucks. (as I said in the old future predictions post that I hoped they'd do the troublesome oil tanker from journey beyond sodor as the 8th one but we'll see).

so all in all I enjoyed yesterday's video really excited for all these new products for releasing later down the road. hope they share more on other projects they're still doing.

Forgive me if these questions have been answered, but I have a few questions for the Yard Master.

- What are n-scale LSBC Thomas and Origin James' projected release dates?
- And will the NMRA brochure in August have more Thomas announcements in other scales besides HO? (I don't want a repeat of last year's where only HO scale were announced.)

N scale LBSC Thomas is currently scheduled to arrive in October; we don't have an arrival month for Origin James yet, but we expect it to be before the end of the year.

The mid-year announcements have not been finalized yet, we'll make sure to share when we have updates.

[Awesometrain77]

So it seems the next  releases look like

Spring / Summer - Gunpowder vans , Tankers , open coach

Fall - N LBSC Thomas , Flatbed with oil drums , and maybe the N scale express coaches .

Winter - China clay wagon , Bulgy , black James , N scale Paxton , N scale Diesel , N scale 7 planks ,  Sidney , Mainland Diesel

Early 2027- Satly , troublesome truck 7

SOOOOOO I'm sure nobody will be insane enough to get this for the price, but just in case, $400 for a model that hasn't been released is insane... Whoever listed that must've been on some special coal... 😅

So the highlights of the stream are the N Scale LBSC Thomas, Origin James, red open wagon and Sodor Scrap wagon, which were shown on stream for the first time, but were shown before elsewhere. Thankfully, Origin James doesn't have the painted lamp like the HO Scale model did. One thing that wasn't shown before was the Large Scale LBSC Thomas. Still no full sample of N Scale Henry just yet, but we were shown a face sample for him. There should be a full unpainted sample of N Scale Henry sometime this summer. He's been prioritized over HO Scale Flying Scotsman.

Any day now, they will have samples for HO Scale Sidney and Mainland Diesel. There will only be one face for Mainland Diesel for now, but if the model sells well enough, they might look into doing more face variants, like Ulli. I'd like to see Fernando, whose face can also be used for a Mainland Diesel variant. The China Clay wagon might possibly get a green variant. Personally, I'd like a new mining wagon with an ore load. 2027 should be the absolute last delay for Salty's reintroduction. The wait has been endless.

Other samples we can expect to be shown within the next few months include the painted samples of Troublesome Truck #7, Bulgy, N Scale Diesel and Paxton.
