I'm really hoping TT #6 is a Tanker car.

I agree. Although we've only seen tankers with faces in Season 4, they seem popular among us, and they would add variety to the Troublesome Trucks that are available.

@WilsonProductions2: The Ice Cream Wagon is really nice. It's a little smaller than I imagined (as in, it's shorter height-wise than the ventilated van. And I thought it would be taller.). But other than that, I really like it!

As for the layout, I'll have to see if there's a current layout thread here. I'd love to share more pics of my layout.

Merry Christmas!

I'm pleased to announce that for Christmas, I got Bachmann Toad, Troublesome Truck #4, and the ice cream wagon. All are great models.

Personally.  I don't really want another class 08. Popular character or no. At least not before someone else.

I agree whole-heartedly. There are already three Class 08 characters from Bachmann, so something else would be a nice change. But the big question is, who would be next, if there will be any?

Thank you for this update! I'm looking forward to obtaining them!

Oliver looks really wonderful! And who knows? What if his running board is painted white for his final model, like Duck? And let's not forget that Diesel has a CGI face and silver side rods as per his appearances pre-Season 6.

I couldn't help but notice a bull in that shot of Daisy swerving to avoid it. Bulls Eyes reference, much?

Also, nice to see that Jerome and Judy will be returning, as I honestly thought that they were only made for The Adventure Begins. Anyone else think that there might be a future episode that concerns Jerome and Judy and Rocky?

This is wonderful news! As I've said before, Bachmann never fail to impress me.

That is really awesome, Chaz! A fine addition to your collection.

A new coach character to debut in Season 20 is going to be very similar to Henrietta.

If that's so, is it possible that it's going to be like a bogied version of Henrietta. I say this because the TTTE Wiki says that in an annual, Henrietta has a sister who is like her, but with bogies.

Uptoday: CGI is short for Computer Generated Images/Imagery. Since 2009, the Thomas series has been made using full CGI animation, and since the change, some of the rolling stock designs have changed, namely the fuel and oil tankers (where they previously had words on them, now they have symbols/logos on them).

Very awesome, BassTbone! Can't wait to see the final product.

I really like that picture of Hornby Oliver and Bachmann Toad together. To me, it looks perfect scale-wise, so I hope that's how big Bachmann Oliver will be.

Wow! That pic really gives you an idea on some the international engines' sizes. For instance, I had no idea that Ashima was that much larger than Thomas (thought she was slightly longer, if not the same size as Thomas).

If Oliver has indeed been pushed to December, at least he'll be here in time for Christmas
