I wouldn't be too much in a panic to not see Bachmann Rheneas. We should see a picture of the Bachmann Rheneas here at the very end of this month when the catalogs for this year come out.

I wouldn't count on Bachmann Oliver being released on February 14, 2017 (a week from tomorrow). Bachmann Oliver will most likely be released in late March. Tower Hobbies says "Late March", and Tower Hobbies is very reliable on release dates.

Actually, it's been 3 months yesterday since we saw Oliver's stock photo. Hope to hear more about Bachmann Oliver soon. I'm not too concerned. It's only a matter of time now till Bachmann Oliver is released.

I knew it! I was right, he was going to have a taillamp on his lamp iron on his coal bunker. I like that Bachmann added a taillamp on Oliver. I think that makes the model even better. I have no complaints with this model. This model is perfect. I can't wait to get him. Thank you very much Bachmann!

I think there is a picture of one of the Bachmann Narrow Gauge Slate Wagons w/ Load on facebook on the page "Bachmann Thomas and Friends". Just from looking at the picture of Bachmann Oliver, does anybody think that Bachmann Oliver is as big as Bachmann Mavis?

I think Oliver will be as big as Mavis.

I think Bachmann made Oliver look extremely amazing. I'm so happy for how Bachmann Oliver turned out. The face looks a lot better than I thought it would. Actually, the whole thing looks a lot better that I thought it would. I have to admit though, the face looks very close to the Season 3 smiling face from the episode "Bulgy" except the eye brows on the model are better than the eye brows in that episode imo. That's a plus that I really like. Another plus that I like is that there is no step ladder, and no hand rail on the front of it's water tanks. That gives it another little hint of the classic series version of Oliver. A feature we all might see on this model that will make the model look even better imo when we all see it in person, is that there might be a tail lamp on the lamp iron on the back of it's coal bunker. Bachmann might have outdone themselves with Oliver even further than they did with Duck, and Bachmann Duck is my favorite model. That says a lot right there for how well Bachmann produces there models. I'm really looking forward to purchasing this model when it is available. This was well worth the tedious wait. Thank you very much Bachmann!

Well, Gordon is now back up in the inventory, but that product says coming soon right by it? I am so confused . I don't understand what is going on?

Does anybody have any idea why bachmann Gordon is out of the Bachmann Trains product inventory?

Yeah, I'm aware a company can do whatever they want to do, and whenever they want to do something. I was just being paranoid about what was said on here, because I grew up with the classic series of Thomas the Tank Engine, and I will always like the classic series style better than the CGI series style. I was afraid Bachmann was going to make these revisions right away, or real soon after someone brought this subject up on here, and then I will never see these models in their classic form ever again from a high quality locomotive business. Though I have to admit, the characters in the CGI series look pretty good once you get used to watching the CGI series. Even the current series of this TV show is pretty good. The Thomas and Friends CGI series didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would. In my opinion, I don't think the CGI series style doesn't quite look as good as the classic series style. But, that's just me. At least I've got almost all the HO scale products of the Bachmann Thomas and Friends range before the company decides to make these revisions.

No! I wouldn't say anything at all about this. I don't want Bachmann to get any ideas on ruining some of the products that are good. Especially, the locomotives with the classic-styled faces as opposed to having the cgi-styled faces. I don't even know why anybody would say a word about this. We all should just zip our lips, accept for what they are today, and feel extra grateful and lucky that we got some of the characters with the classic faces especially Duck being my favorite character, and along with some of the rolling stock that are in classic-style. The classic-style gives the products all nostalgic value. The products wouldn't be as nice cgi-style as nice as they are classic-style. I think the Bachmann Thomas and Friends products are very nice the way they are today.

Wow! Large scale Winston looks great! When did his photo surface?

Wait! What?! Bachmann Rosie is already revealed?

I feel that Oliver is going to be released any month from now until November of this year, because his release dates online on other shops have changed from "November, or December of this year" to "late October, or November of this year". If no information of Oliver being released is not given out, and his estimated release dates now said sooner than they did after the NMRA show, then that's a good sign that he could be out any time soon. That's what happened to Toad when he was released. Before, Bachmann announced that Toad was being released in April, or May of this year, and it turned out that he was released in early February. I think Oliver is pretty much in the same situation as Toad being released. He could be released any time from now until November. Bachmann usually releases a new product between the 8th, and the 15th of the month every time they decide to release a new product. In other words, if he is going be released just out of the blue like Toad was, then he might pop out of the blue between the 8th and 15th in either August, September, October, or November.
