I have a feeling Stepney may be coming soon. Even if I'm wrong about that, I feel we should do the same thing that we did when Duck was announced.

Now that we are in the lucky position of getting announcements twice a year, plus the range expanding more than we ever thought possible due to the addition of the European market, the addition of not only a narrow gauge but an N scale line, the rebirth of Large Scale....

Fan voices are more important than ever.


Make sure that Bachmann know that we do not want that horrible season 12 face for the model if indeed they make him. It would be about as bad as them not making him.

So you know the drill boys,

Use this thread. Suggest faces.

I don't understand what my post has to do with yours, unless you're saying that no one commented on yours because of mine which is ridiculous. And that's the thing about wants, many of them are unrealistic.

But don't worry, now I'm sure now you can expect a flood of comments in response to your amazing list.

Oh, and no offense if you're reading this.  

Very true, don't know why it didn't resize. But seeing as I've only made about 14 posts in the past two years, and this is definitely going to be the only one like this, again. I think we'll live.

Maybe by the time I post the next one the forum will be on a system that was created in at least the last decade. 

Yeah I figured it would. Don't know how to do it myself.

And lol. Relax Sparks. Don't get too big for your buffers. Forgot why I don't post here more often.

I'm sure the admins will take care of it, if it really is that big of a deal.

Sorry for the long post boys, but was inspired.  

Happy to still be here after all these years. Keep on track.  

As has been proven many times on this thread, people can very certainly be dumb.

It's entirely possible he just didn't record them. As there is another tag there that is clearly not for Percy or the trucks so odds are it's for them.

And he's skipping over that part because it's obviously not true, they are not being resized.

And he is definitely not arguing the same thing you were trying to say. As much as you try to make it seem that way.

Sigh.........

There will be announcements next month for the catalog. Unless they shifted all thomas announcements which is unlikely.

Anyone Care For A 6 Pack?

https://www.target.com/p/bachmann-trains-ho-thomas-friends-emily-sterling-single-engine-model-6-pack/-/A-79333673?ref=tgt_soc_pd&AFID=fb&CPNG=Always+On_AlwaysOn_Hardlines_Toys%7Ctoy+vehicles_Mobile_Link+click&Adgroup=6136193013760&FNDSRC=tgtao

 I don't agree with that either. BACHMANN has proven over years that they know WE are their main market. They have done certain things that Mattel has wanted but it's obvious they fight for us. Yes they can't make soley  model era characters anymore,  but you saying that Stepney has no chance with the anniversary on the horizon and  overwhelming fan demand (Duck) is just silly.  It may not happen but the chances are definitely better than they've ever been.

We need to just be vocal about what we want. Because we are the ones who buy.

My dreams would be

HO
Stepney
BoCo
Arthur
Harvey
Murdoch
Fergus

Long shots I know but
Diesel 10
Lady

If they made those few models with the exception of engines like the diesel and Derek, We would have the entire classic cast of characters.

Think about that.  When engines like Emily were coming out we never would've dreamed the range would be where it is today.  We even got a narrow gauge which was considered a dream by so many for so long. Guilford Guys turning in his forum grave.   The OG Hater.


So yes Bachmann cares about us. Keep posting your thoughts boys.  

Just call me Gordon because I'm number 4. 

Was the range discontinued? Will it be updated in the future?

Is it true the signal box is discontinued?

Also, with Bachmann now being able to sell in Europe.  Consideration of modelers will (or should) be taken much more into account. There's an incredible market for it out there. I mean, the Bluebell railway would love it.


This could be a very lucrative time for Bachmann and for us as old fans.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that I'm definitely team Stepney.

I like Ryan as well.  But Stepney is just more of a character. Plus he's a classic.
I'd love to see him coming down the line with a few red coaches behind him.

Certain characters have such a demand that even if they have not come back and CGI I feel they have a chance.  With the 75th anniversary around the corner  Stepney's have never been higher. Plus we'd get a model face!

Please Bachmann, do us another favor and make Stepney next.

And while you're at it update the resin range and use Duncan's Model design.

But more on that later.....

Our prayers have been answered!!! Thank you so much!

Wow. First time I've been able to take something out of my signature in years.

Only a few left.
