Agreed that the breakdown crane would be a good addition, but would most likely have the faces which I'm not a fan of. Sidney is an obvious choice since he doesn't require any new tooling. Whiff, hmm not sure, perhaps too limited screen time? Duncan for narrow gauge is a high possibility, as is Edward for N Gauge I think.

I really don't see Rebecca coming out any time soon. Given how new she is, and that she effectively kicked out one of the original characters, I don't think she would be popular with fans of the original series. Plenty of other more important characters to do first, Boco for one!

I'll be happy if we see an EP of Daisy. Don't care about seeing anything else really lol.

Thanks for your advice guys.

I live in the UK and I have tried searching for a Bachmann 8' curve, however I have not yet been able to locate any.

https://www.bachmann.co.uk/category/model-railway/bachmann-trains/large-scale/large-scale-accessories-and-track

Looking at the Bachmann UK site, there isn't one listed.

Rusty, do you know or have a product code for the 8' curve? It may help me in my search to find them.

Thanks again.

It doesn't have to be bachmann track.

Just glue it

Very glad to see the section dedicated to Thomas in the live video. A bit disappointing to hear that Daisy will not be released until 2021 now but that means she will be even more anticipated and hopefully even better. Great to see a better view of Black James as well.

Yes I saw Lionels O Gauge abomination. It doesn't even have side rods so my comment still stands. Also that one is a remote control piece of junk and all of those models look horrendous. These ones are designed to be working model locomotives. Not battery run indestructible toys.

Was it only James and diesel announced?

Water stains should come off with some gentle washing. Do you have the broken part of the fence? If so it should be an easy fix.

Stunning! I, too, was worried the model would not include separately fitted side rods due to his low RRP, but it is great to see that is no longer a concern.

If he didn't have seperately fitted side rods then how would he move?

Diesel in large scale is a very logical move, given that they can also do Sidney and Paxton too. 3 locos from 1 tooling is a great investment.

Definitely looks like black James to me!

You could either try a spring around the screw that attaches the bogie, or pull the wheels off the axles and swap them over.
