Well, the 2011 Toy Fair is coming up in less than three weeks and we should be getting photos of Donald and Douglas in a matter of days (I'm so excited ;D)! Anyone have any thoughts on how the models will look? Personally, I think they'll be AWESOME!!!
Hopefully just like this.
(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100507122042/ttte/images/f/fc/PercyandtheHauntedMine3.jpg)
Hopefully this face for one.
Yeah. I think the faces they have in my signature picture would be perfect!
me too
Well lets hope for anti-CGI! :D
you bet! ;D
Indeed. (I know it's a one-word post, but sometimes one word can say more than several! ;D)
Not really one word. ;D lol
Yeah. LOL :P
I want season 2 faces and I'm pretty sure in there first episodes donald had the over happy face while douglas had a meh happy face I also want downward facing brake pipes like when they were first introduced and season 2 nameplate positioning
Where do you guys want the name plates?
....?...let me rephrase middle or front?

....?...let me rephrase middle or front?
front=season 2=smokeboxes season 3 onwards=boilers = middle hope this helps
Oh see this is how I feel: Front: Looks more professinal....Middle:Gives it more to look at. (If you know what I mean)

yeah I get what you mean but I still wan't season 2 nameplates
I don't know which? Either would be fine I guess.
Quote from: JJ96 on January 26, 2011, 05:56:41 PM
I don't know which? Either would be fine I guess.
this might help the company that should never be spoken uses season three onwards nameplates and there models have been changed by this company to make there vaccum pipes face up instead of down

I'd prefer the center. Plus that's the position that has the better chance, since it's more up-to-date. Funny, I was planning on asking that same question!

it does have more chance but I wants what I wants
I wouldn't mind these for the faces:
Donald's face (yes I know that it's a pic of Douglas)
(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091021163919/ttte/images/c/c7/ThomasComestoBreakfast1.jpg)
Douglas' face
(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100502171805/ttte/images/b/b1/RustytotheRescue2.jpg)
Or I wouldn't mind if they shared the same face. (I prefer Douglas' face if they were the same face.)

There will be no shring of faces from Bachmann. Remember Hornby Bill and Ben? They practicily have the same face the only thing that is different are the nameplates.
Earlier I said my favorite faces would be the ones in my sig photo, however I think they'd be better if they were switched around (Donald with Douglas's face and Douglas with Donald's face).

Both would make fine options. ;D
True, however I don't think the face choice for Donald will be picked since it's an older one (no offense).

well they gave one set of twins the happy and extremly happy faces (bill and ben :P) so i could see those faces happening

No they didn't I'm looking at my Mavis right now and it's definitely black. An offset black, maybe, but I don't think so.
Back to the subject of D&D. Regarding their faces, we'll just have to wait and see.

I have to agree with you on that one.
You know, I did notice something, though. That older face and the one Douglas has in my signature are exactly the same, only the one in my signature has white colored in for his teeth! If you really wanted that face, you could just scratch out the teeth! :P
I still want want I want also look at those pictures regarding the vaccum pipes am I the only one who noticed they changed lol :P
i've noticed it, its not hard to see a black curly line moving around on an engines front :P

hmm it dident move in the middle of an episode but I only said that because I thought if somebody else noticed it they probably would have metioned it this being the everything d&d thread though but I want original everything on these models faces write way orignally was overhappy donald meh happy douglas I mean in the shot of them in the shed series two nameplates and the (in my opinion) better looking down ward facing brakepipes

Oh,
now I see what you're talking about! :P I actually like them facing upwards. (Not really sure
why, though. It's just one of those gut feelings.)
well, it's not long now until we see pics, as I've heard!
Indeed. Everyone be on the lookout. Those photos could pop up any day, now. Leave no web link un-clicked. ;)
You said it MetaDude27
Hopefully as soon as Jack Lynch (Yardmaster) or The Bachmann get the picutres they will post them.
One thing I really like about Donald and Douglas is that they have real-life livery (the BR goods livery, I believe). Just another example of realism that brings Thomas & Friends to life.
I could agree with that. See speaking about a characters vibes I think that in TATMR Henry sounds just as wise as Toby but I see Henry as the nature lover. :P (If you know what I mean).
I actually haven't seen TATMR in a long time, so I can neither agree nor disagree with that statement. :P But Henry certainly is the nature lover.
The way he says it makes it sound wise of him. I actually watched tatmr the day I posted the Diesel 10 thread. I still love the movie. ;D But to bad characters like Edward, Duck, Oliver, and D&D weren't in it...even if they made cameos.
Yeah, I was pretty surprised when I realized Edward wasn't in the movie. :( But let's try to keep the TATMR discussion in the Diesel 10 thread. (No offense.) ;)
None taken. ;) But yeah I can do that sometimes. :P Anyway I thought that the pics of D&D were supposed to be released by now....I don't know if they will come b4 the Toy Fair but hopefully they will.
Well, let's just count on the 13th (the date of the Toy Fair). And if they come beforehand it'll be like a sweet surprise! ;D
Quote from: MetaDude27 on February 04, 2011, 03:28:25 PM

thats becasue his model wasnt ready in time. (either he got a new or fixing it due to some accident or somthing else :-\)

I'm not sure he had an accident there models were just upgraded to cope with the ridicoulsly high room temparature because of the lighting (I think) I got that from an interview with daivid mitton on sif
Anyway, back to Donald and Douglas, pictures of them will hopefully be here very soon.
YEAH!!!!!!! ;D
You said it. ;D
The key word is HOPEFULLY. I predict at the 2011 Toy Fair Bachmann will surprise us with finished models of D&D and announce 2 other engines as well as the red branchline coaches.<-HO scale LS scale->Toby
Although I don't model in Large Scale, I must say that Toby would be nice, as he would be unique to the range (well, unique ot me anyway).
And i wonder what the 2 other engines for HO will be.
That of course is if there ARE two more engines this year- BM may not find it "Finaccially Viable" or something like that to produce another model or two alongside D&D... But you never know...

Yeah, thanks for bringing that up. Maybe they dont need
so many engines.??
Well I'm assuming that they announce 2 more it will either be Diesel, Duck, or Rosie. And financially I assume they will be released next year like what happened to D&D.
Out of the 3 engines you mentioned JJ96, I really hope for Duck and Diesel. Rosie is an ok character, but Duck and Diesel are more classic characters (no offense to Rosie fans)
Well I can't blame you.
Ok then. But similar to what I have said on other threads, we won't know who else will be released until Saturday.
Once again true dat!
Yes indeed. But the best part is that pics of D&D will be out.
TRUE! I hope they look AMAZING!
Me too. I bet they will. After all, since they were announced last year with Bill and Ben, and Bill and Ben came out in 2010, perhaps Bachmann put a lot more time on D&D so they look amazing, as you said.
Thats all we can hope for.
I agree.
OH MY GOSH!!! THEY GOT THE PHOTOS OF DONALD AND DOUGLAS UP!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Here's Donald

OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH!!! I'VE HIT THE JACKPOT!!! THE POST OF THE CENTURY!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Hahaha I knew it they look fabolous.
To be honest I think I had my expectations a little too high, but still, they do look amazing!!! ;D ;D ;D (Whew) Now that I've calmed down a bit, I notice that they actually do share the same face, but those may not be the final models (although I'm guessing they are)... OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH!!! ;D ;D ;D :-X
they look AWASOME. well worth the wait. And sorry but I had to make a vid on youtube about it

Oh, and lets hope for some more stuff!
I'll be really disappointed if they have the same faces :-\ But, we get what we get, and I LOVE what we got!! <3
I plan on buying them A.S.A.P. as well as maybe six more freight cars (I have eight right now) so I can have them pull "The Ultimate Freight Train". :P How exactly did you guys react when you first saw the pictures? I gasped as though something had scared me! :D
WOOOO! Great,Perfect,Amazing job Bachmann!
;D ;D Yay ;D ;D

I thought the pictures were fake, but then I looked on here and they're not! Hahaha :)
Are those CGI faces? (Not critizing just wondering :P) If so....they still look awesome!
Yes, yes they do. ;D It's actually kind of difficult to tell from those pictures. I'd have to take a good look at the actual models (but I'm getting ahead of myself :P).
I want one! I love the look of that engine! If Bachmann made an engine like that in the LS line, I would totally buy it. I like the looks of the Scots. Their models are plain awesome.
Where were these pictures found? I want to see if anything else popped up.
Who do you like more Donald or Douglas? You can't say both. (Yes you can) ;D lol

I found them under the product information of Bachmann's website. Sorry, no more photos, but they did add "Oil Tank" under the Thomas LS items.

I like Donald better (I mean the character, not just the model), but I have no idea why since they both look exactly the same! :P
I actually like Douglas better. :P
Yeah, he's a little more gutsy than Donald, running away from scrap and all. Plus he rescued you (Oliver) from certain death! LOL :D
I noticed they added the Knapford kit to the list as well, but no picture yet.

True! I remember in my Writting and Communications class for school I had to read a children's story book to the class and I read
The Deputation. I gave the twins the cheesiest Scottish accent but everyone loved it.
LOOK AT MY LINK!!! ITS A VIDEO OF BACHMANN DONALD AND DOUGLAS ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
A video of the models (like running around on the track) or a video of pictures of the models?
PICTURES OF THE ACTUALL MODELS NOT RUNNING THOUGH
We saw them already previous page.
whoops :-[ i havent been on and then i didnt go back far enough to see the pics, WELL THEY LOOK AWEEEEEEEESSSSOME!!
Yeah, this thread kind of filled up a bunch after I posted the photos.
im just so happy they released pics!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
ME, TOO!!! ;D ;D ;D
Me too three. ;D ;D ;D
YAY :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I must say they do look good, and look forward to getting them.
Only a few criticisms though (just me being nit - picky , I know you cant please everyone and do things perfect) :
Body seems to be a tad too tall, that and/or it is sitting just a little too high above the wheels. I'm not sure if it is that, but something about the front end does look a bit oddly shaped.
The same faces? Bill and Ben got different, surely they could too?
But, I would still be pleased if they were released like that. Bear in mind I think these are just sample models- full production ones will be done soon, hopefully.
Yee-haw!!!! The pictures are amazing!!!!!!
These are just the prototype pictures, I think. Most things will be different on he actual model, it has happened before.
Now we just need to wait for them to release in stores! :P
Hopefully that will be soon. ::)
DTST said he had info saying they would come out in September, but then again he also said a lot of other things ::), so I think he lost his credibility on that one.

Just wondering, when else has that happened?
Don't rely on him for information. Bachmann will announce it soon. I think you can start pre-ordering now.
Yeah, I know a few sites who've had pre-orders up even before the photos were posted (one site has them listed for $43 a piece).
Well, like my people have been saying for generations..........OOOOOOPPPPPPPAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D BACHMANN DONALD AND DOUGLAS!!!!!!!!
TODAY WAS ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE FIRST WE GET PICTURES OF BACHMANN DONALD AND DOUGLAS, AND THEN LATER TODAY I FINISH LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

and nothing that I wanted on there looks like FACES season
3(maybe cgi) nameplates season
3 onwards there brake pipes face
upward oh well I'll get them and modify them so there everything I want they are my fav engines ;D
Defo the name plates from Season 3 onwards. I want them. Hopefully they might be relased real soon. Maybe in time for my B Day :P
You know, the more I look at the photos, the better I think they (or "I") look! :D
EDIT: Can't... stop... staring... :o
Lol. But yes the models look great.
what does the defo part mean ??? ? I knew it would be there series 3 positioning no matter how much I don't like it welcome to the forums mulfred
I think "defo" is short for definitely.
Quote from: MetaDude27 on February 11, 2011, 05:47:55 PM
I'm confused by your question. What does "defo" mean?
exactly what mulfred said
"defo on the namplates"
I'm confused because I don't know what it means ??? ?
I think defo means define? Not sure, I think that is what he mans. All I can make of it.

I used to like donald better but now I like douglas better for that number closer to my age but I'm sure donald would have done the same thing but (with jj96) ;) awdry just picked dougie for unknown reasons
I am going to be really surprised if Bachmann doesn't give them different faces. Seeing that Bill and Ben do, I don't see why Donald and Douglas won't. I'm just worried about it now since they both have the same face in the prototype models :-\

It's Donald and Douglas humor. If you really have a problem with it, then just ignore it.
It is just a joke AJW, you should know what that is. They are actually kinda funny. "McDonnell Douglas", kinda like McDonald Douglas. Mc is a common Scottish begining for last names. More common for the Irish, but still works with the Scottish. Mac is more common among Scottish last names. And there is a breif history lesson on Scottish last names. :P
More Scottish Humor

Look, AJW, The Bach man likes it, so it is fine! It is ironic that the two names are always in a pair with the other. Maybe thats where the Rev. got the idea. Or maybe the copied him. ;D
I actually find this humorous too. ;D But who knew those names were that common. Sorry Sodor Mike for before.
I guess it's kind of funny. I actually can't believe there are that many "Donald and Douglas"es!

"What would Chaz do?"
Chaz is gone! You treat him like he is a god or something! How many times are you going to play that card? It doesn't work. Stop quoting him. He would not want someone out there basicly mimicking his every single word.
It is funny! Shows you don't have a good sense of humor.
Stop saying he is in violation of the code of conduct. The Bach man found it funny, so it is FINE!
but it does and even you had great respect for him after he left I knew the chain reaction was my fault so I picked up the bone he dropped and I don't treat him like a god it's because this board is crumbling to bits I know but you treat him lik a god and it still breaks the code of conduct wheather bachmann think it's funny or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:(
To say this forum is crumbling is a slap in the face to the Bach man and Yardmaster. They make sure we "play nice" and delete anything off topic. To say the forum is crumbling is basically saying they are not doing their job, which they do very well.
The Donald and Douglas similarities are funny, get over it and laugh for a change!
The Bach man makes the rules, if he does not think it is a violation, it is not a violation.

Off topicness? It is pictures of things with the same names as the Scottish Twins. Saying that they are not the only twins with the names Donald and Douglas.
You won't stand for what? Comedy? Good luck in the real world kid.
offtopicness is what I don't like tis thread is for thomas the tank engine and friends donald and douglas not every other donald and douglas known to man
You take things way to seriously.
It is off topic. So what, it is not the end of the world.

Douglas' face
(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100502171805/ttte/images/b/b1/RustytotheRescue2.jpg)well guess what...
Or I wouldn't mind if they shared the same face. (I prefer Douglas' face if they were the same face.)
There will be no shring of faces from Bachmann. Remember Hornby Bill and Ben? They practicily have the same face the only thing that is different are the nameplates.
well guess what...

Still... can't... stop... staring... AHHH!!! :P
ME EITHER! ;D
Same here!!
my eyes have bexcome glued to the computer screen
I think it's official.... Donald and Douglas' Bachmann models look AWESOME.
Its disappointing to see D&D having the same face...hopefully they will be changed considering they are prototypes. But heres my question: What season face do Donald and Douglas have?
All I know is that the faces are CGI.
Maybe the CGI faces means the twins will be back soon.
I heard they will be back in Season 15. Along with Duck and I think Oliver.
I don't think they're CGI faces. I'm pretty sure they're the face that's in Metadude27's sig :-\
Hopefully they are. They might just look CGI. I don't think Bill & Ben have CGI faces and D & D would be the only engines to have CGI faces in the HO range.
I'm almost positive they are CGI. :-\

Bill's face is from season 6 (maybe earlier, not sure :P), and Ben's is from TGD.
So hopefully the Scots will have Season 7 faces v.s. CGI
I know people may disagree but I perfer the CGI look on the HO scale models. TV wise I loved the ORIGINAL gauge 1 models. Example I like the new oil tanker and CGI D&D.
Maybe CGI on Rosie and the new CGI characters, but the twins only had CGI faces once. And I don't think they said anything. I think they were there just to please older fans.
But I like (No love) the new oil tankers. That gold and black logo is cool in my opinion.
Thats the thing that I don't like about it. I would rather have a plain black tanker than a tanker with that logo. I would but it, but the logo kinda turns me off. I think something Bachmann should do is release plain blank tankers. No logo, no words, no nothing. Just a blank tanker. I would like that.
Interesting concept.(In my opinion)
You could always repaint a tanker :P
I think JD417 repainted some of the tankers to look like that. Classic Season 1 rolling stock. I love that look.
With the LS version, I can slap my logo on it and boom, tanker!.
I know I could also simply repaint it, but I am not a very good artist.
Well thats a little tricky then. :P

double post apology but rosie's model face is so much better than her crummy cgi face
I think Rosie is better in CGI. ::) (lol my opinions)
I hate it past season 7 because the episodes used to tell a story. Now they are predictable and teach a lesson.

LOL. Thanks for the history lesson. :P But I stay to what I said b4.
True. When I was young, I loved it, now. Well I think it is a little wierd, but SRC makes a cameo so I still liek that part. Britt liked SRC since she filmed 10 Years of Thomas there and used the engine, coaches, and line in TATMRR. TATMRR is better than CAE, TGD, and MIR.
Don't think the Rev. would like CGI, might freak him out a bit. I know it kinda freaks me out.
ya when u think about it, can u believe how much thomas has, uhh, "evolved"? :-\
More like devolved. :P
Not all kids like the new Thomas, my 6 year old neighbor hates the new stuff and likes S1-S5. He said he think the new episodes are to religious? Yeah he is a little weird. I guess he thinks a moral to a story has some relation to religion. He is a little weird, but has good taste! His little sister lieks the early season because she thinks she is like Mavis.
Did Bachmann Delete my posts???
hey we are all entitled to our own opinions with the engines I hate cgi rosie

Back to D&D's faces, I think they're the season 3 onwards face, not the CGI. I don't even remember seeing D&D smile with their CGI face.

No, we wouldn't have the multi tube boiler. George Stephenson also determined the standard gauge of 4 feet 8½ inches.

At first I thought I found something on a model train web store that said "Est. delivery date: 4/5" But then I noticed it said "4/5/
10" :P. So unfortunately I'm just as clueless as you, BRR.
lol :D
u know D&Ds livery is real thears 1 at bo'ness and kinnal railway
Gotta love my roots! I wish to have a summer home in Scotland and a winter home in Italy in the future., my main roots. I mean, I wore a kilt! :P
Not sure if anyone else has commented about this- there is a slight difference on the faces- the eyebrows.
Donald has slightly pointed top ones, whilst Douglas has smooth curved ones.
Not a major difference, but one nonetheless. Would've been nice with two different smiles, but as I keep saying, at least we have models

I did just noticed that! Donald's eyebrows are more triangular and Douglas' are more flat.
Maybe their expressions are different, too (we just can't tell from the angle of the photo).
I never noticed that.

Dealing with High school applications. :P Not very enjoyable.
Join the club! :P
High school placement tests, applications, registrations, etc.! It takes to much time!
ANYWAY, I assume by NEW you mean socket plug-in couplings? In which case no- they appear to be the same screw-to-chasis ones that all the Thomas models get.
The front couplings seem new.
they look like the couplings toby, mavis, salty, bill and ben have. ya know those longer ones.

I can't begin to tell you how much work I have done/am still doing for scholarships and applications. I got yet another scholarship paper today. Looks like I will be busy. But on a happy note I am in Honors English and in Geometry(What the Shopmores take and I am going to be a Freshmen!). So looks like I will be busy over the next 4 years, leaving me less and less time for model railroading and the forums. :P
Anyways, the front couplers look like the ones on the old Bachmann Hogwarts Express Engine(Hogwarts Castle). Weird.

Although it says "Order Online", Donald and Douglas are actually not listed on their online store once you click on that initial product link.
Sorry guys... most likely still August, unless otherwise stated.
Does anyone want to know who Donald and Douglas remind me of? Well if you don't want to, I am telling to you anyway!
At my school we have two nuns who came from Italy. Sr. Maria and Sr. Angela. They look like sisters(possibly twins) and are always side by side. Since they always wear habits, which are blackish, they even look like the Scottish twins. And they have even had accidents like the twins. The accident I am refering too is when Sr. M began to slip on some ice outside the school and Sr. A went to help her and Sr. A slipped and fell to the ground. In our room a few people screamed and I was in shock. Luckily my history teacher and his class were in the gym and ran out to help her. This reminds me of the time the twins ran into that hay wagon. It is so weird, I was listening to the twins' theme and I thought of that. It is so weird how TTTE is constantly in my life, maybe it is a sign! ;D
Now I know you can say this has nothing to do with the thread, but it does. It surely does. Instead of the Scottish twins, they are the Italian twins. They even have their Italian accents similar to how D & D still have theirs. I have known them for years and I just thought of it. Weird! My princable is like Sir Topham Hatt, but is a lot more strict and more of a dictator! The one nun I don't really like. She is nice at times, but when she is mad, boy is she mad. Today she told someone in my class "If you don't take these active shooter drills seriously, I suggest you find another place for your education." Wow, just wow.
Quote from: BillingsRR on February 25, 2011, 11:30:33 PMIt is so weird, I was listening to the twins' theme and I thought of that. It is so weird how TTTE is constantly in my life, maybe it is a sign! ;D
A sign you're starting to go crazy from too much TTTE? :P
No, I don't think so. Maybe it is a sign that I should have watched it when I was little, which I did. I'm not sure. If am am comparing my other teachers to TTTE characters well my history teacher is Gordon, and well hmmm none of the engines yell at their students when they don't get their work done, so I guess I don't have anymore. But I can say my English teacher is Thomas and my teacher is Percy, since those two are like best friends. They gossip, complain about us, you know, all of the stuff women in their late 20s and early 30s do when they teach kids. My math Teacher is Edward because she is really smart and the other math teacher is Toby because Toby has been bitter in the past and that math teacher can be heard screaming down the hallway. My princable is Sir Topham Hatt, but a lot more strict and the 4th grade teacher, who does nothing besides teach 4th grade, is Henry I could say. We don't have a James, well besides me. ;D

I told you guys the story right? I was fishing with my friends and started singing gone fishing. They thought I was nutz and I did to.

It was weird. I've actually said stuff from T&F too....like "dither" (from TATMR),"bother", etc... But I say it is weird.
Just a little idea. wouldn't it be kinda cool if bachmann made snow plows for donald and douglas. As they both have them in the series.
It'd be cool. Or a plow for Gordon.
I'm just wondering. If you use a plow like terence has paint it black. modify it to fit the front of the engines. just might work. Lol could be a project for me when they come out.
Bachmann has Donald and Douglas at WGH on display! The real HO models!

Pictures? Video? We'd all like to see :)
My camera is dead, so I don't have any. They do have different faces though. SodorAdventures may have some. He is there with his layout and engines.
I hope he dose. I really wanna see them. Although I'm sure someone will up load it on to youtube. ;D

I make thomas references all the time. and the best part is nobody knows. :D oh, just the other day i said "well if that doesn't take the biscuit" my friends looked at me weird. :D
I always enjoy saying "Och, eye!" every once in a while (not entirely sure what it means :P), and I'll also say "good morning" in Diesel's oily voice.
bust my buffers. ;D
Does anyone here ever find them-self whistling/humming one of the old character themes? For me it's either Duck's theme, Edward's theme, D&D's theme, or Henry's Sad theme (no, I'm not constantly down in the dumps :P).
Yeah I have lately I seem to hum henry's season 3-4 theme, oliver, stepney, duck and percy's season 5 theme
I thought all the themes were the same (with slight variation) up until season 7. ???
Nope there are some diffrent themes. for engines like james has about 3 diffrent themes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZPLySFZNKk&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZPLySFZNKk&feature=related) this is a link to his season 1 theme. links into other videos. if you read the discriptions he tells you what season its from ;D
Looks cool, but I'm not allowed to use YouTube. :( Oh, well.

Don't Judge a Book and
Thomas You're the Leader(it got stuck in my head after watching Fighter4luv's video).

all the time! ;D but the newer songs, and classic themes.
I've also hummed the shining time theme (from TATMR)

(Sorry MetaDude27)
I always used to whistle the themes for Gordon, James, and the Scottish Twins. Now I whistle The Office and Parks & Rec. themes instead.
The faces are similar, but the eyebrows are different.
Oh. So they just looked same as in the promo pictures?
Quote from: MetaDude27 on February 26, 2011, 02:52:56 PM

No, actually they don't. One has triangular eyebrows and the other has curved eye brows. It really is the only way they could identify the engines from each other, face wise. They don't have CGI faces, they look more like the Season 7ish faces. They just have the "botox" glare in the photos.
in the promo pictures they DO have different eyebrows. so they look like the promo pics?
Similar to the pictures yes, but their faces are not so shinny.
I also saw the Bachmann and Mr. Doug Blaine there. Man, Mr. Blaine is tall! The Bach-man was sitting next to the Thomas layout. I watched Henry jump off the rails and a few minutes later one of his coaches came off and derailed another, but they never jumped the tracks.
that henry lol
It may have been on of the ten million little kids. So many of them!
So any pictures of D&D yet?

Nope sorry, maybe you could ask The Bach man for Mr. Blaine if they can take pictures of them and upload them. SodorAdventures was there with his layout and he might have gotten pictures, no way of knowing. However, they did look awesome!
I'm keeping my eyes peeled on youtube, so if I find anything from the fair I'll try to post it.

It's actually "Och aye" and means "Oh yes" :)
