Has anyone ever thought of Bachmann making Murdoch? It's pretty realistic because they've made his real life loco in branch line, it's just a thought.

I see Murdoch very unlikely, every character that has been made, has been featured in multiple seasons.

My Birthday was Monday and I got the Spiteful Break van, the Lobster Coach, the Green Mail Coach, the GW Vent Van and the Diesel Co Tanker.

Still waiting for Gordon to be in stock for over a year now..

I only started collecting a couple of years ago, and getting the trio were easy to get. At the end of the day they were discontinued most likely due to lack of sales, if you wanted them so bad, you should have bought them.

That's all folks, until 2020, as InsideTrack has spoken, and made clear.




It's about time we're getting N Scale Thomas models from Bachmann. I'm glad we're getting at least two engines to start it off, which are of course, Thomas and Percy. I highly doubt N Scale is going to suffer the same fate as Large Scale because N Scale is much smaller, and should definitely be more affordable. It will be an answer to those who wanted better models of Thomas and Percy. They might cost around the same price as HO Scale models. Unlike the first HO Scale models, which were based on cartoon illustrations, the N Scale models will be based on their CGI models, so we'll finally have CGI Thomas and Percy in a tiny size. Next year, James is inevitable, especially if the N Scale range takes off like the Skarloey range did. We should FINALLY get tender engines again. Maybe even N Scale Gordon at last. Bachmann shouldn't have anywhere near as much trouble making the big engines in N Scale as they would in Large Scale. Yes, I'm considering picking up the N Scale models once they're available. As for O Scale, Lionel still holds the license. Bachmann might consider making O Scale Thomas models if Lionel ever surrenders the license. Now that Hornby has dropped their license, Bachmann might eventually release their HO Thomas models in the UK.

I knew things were looking bleak for Large Scale. I'm not surprised nothing was announced there either.

Sorry I'm going to double post here, with the N Scale engines, I guess their eyes will not be moving?

I guess this could be a cheaper year for me, as I got most my engines since Christmas 2017 (Edward, Henry, James, Percy, Toby, Duck, Donald, Douglas, Oliver, Bill, Ben, Spencer, Rosie,  Diesel, Mavis, 'Arry, Bert, Paxton.

Already had the Thomas, Salty and Emily.

Just been waiting for Gordon to come in stock for over a year. ):

Do you plan to get Red Rosie? I plan to get her since I don't have Rosie at all yet so like Grumpy Diesel, I'll just get the new one instead of the old one. I'm interested to see if anyone who already has Pink Rosie will get Red Rosie either to replace it or just to have both. I know that the Rosie fans on Twitter will buy it.

I only hope we'll get an actual character next year in 2020, even if it's another recolor character like Sidney.

Not sure yet, I didn't even buy the original Rosie my mother did, maybe she will get me red Rosie next Christmas, I also don't own Grumpy Diesel, I have the original one but with the odd painted buffers,

Rosie as the new engine is a bit disappointing, would much rather have a brand new character, don't even mind Sidney being made.

The Trucks are great choices, quite hard to mess them up, the log flatbed is cool, I really wanted to see Hector and dusty rusty truck.

How does the announcements work, is there a hype video? Do they just announce it on their website, do we know what time it gets announced. Sorry if I come off annoying, this is the first time I have been around for the announcements.

Hello I'm a new member

For the standard gauge the following I would like one of the following:
Daisy, Harvey, Whiff, Stephen or Hiro.
Hector, James' Express Coaches, a new form of Troublesome Truck, maybe a truck with scrap (for 'Arry & Bert) or waste (if they make a Whiff in standard gauge.
Trevor, Jack or George.

For Narrow Gauge, if they made George, then Sir Handel would be perfect, but I would rather see Peter Sam.
For rolling stock, it would be great to see a break van and the D Fusit Gunpowder wagons.
