Here's what I got:
-Engines:
-Duck: to fill the void between number's 7 and 9. He's the hardworking type, and I'm sure many fans would like to have him in their collections.
-Molly: seen prominently in the background of the latter pre-CG series pulling trains and actually doing work. Another female to the line would make the soccer moms (
) happy, and it Would be a cheap way for non-Thomas modellers to get their hands on a Claude Hamilton. and really I just like the way she looks.
-Arry and Bert: Modify the Diesel mould a little and you've got them easy. Saves cash making a completely different mould for them too. Faces would be the same way. That, and i think we need more diesels for the range.
Rolling Stock:
-The Works Unit Coach: why not? it's been seen frequently in the pre and CG seasons, and with it we could release:
-The Breakdown Crane: Just a crane, maybe included in a pack with a flatbed. Would be easier to produce than Rocky, and much more practical for layouts with limited space. And I imagine it would look much better with the British engines than the American cranes..
- The Red Coaches- Passenger and Brake: They're seen frequently in the background, pre CG and in the most recent series too, being pulled about by James, Percy, or another engine. It would be better for the kiddies to have their engines pull 'different' coaches instead of pulling 'Emilys', I think. And the mould could simply be Annie/Clarabel's but edited a little( the roof and the brake coach's guard's compartment obviously)
-... can't think of any others atm.
I'll update this later.
