Thomas & Friends / Re: Wishlist thread
September 28, 2010, 01:22:27 AM
I would like to make a reasonable wishlist.

Engines:

Duck: Duck is an extremely popular engine, and the majority of people that want another thomas character is duck. plus, he's a major character. or rather was, until the show went to crap.... Read the Railway series.............

Diesel: Diesel is a popular and widely recognized character in the show for many years now. He provides a good antagonist in the show. and having another diesel is nice as well.

Murdoch: Murdoch is sodor's biggest locomotive, not to mention one of the best looking. Be nice to have a big engine like him pulling several cars or coaches. He also completes the Emily Spencer models, considering he was introduced the same time they were.

BoCo: BoCo Would really make the range totally awesome. BoCo would make another EXCELLENT diesel to the thomas range. He's a good looking engine. Many people would really like to have him. He's a major supporting character in the books, as well as the earlier thomas TV show. plus he's my favorite Engine after all. :D

Oliver: Oliver would make the final addition to the orginal core group of characters. He also works with Duck, Donald and Douglas. cant have the 3 D's without him!

Stepney: Stepney was a prominent character in the show. He's a visiting engine like Spencer. like Spencer he's quite popular among fans.

Arthur: Arthur would make another excellent tank engine to even out the tender engines. Plus He'd make another nice red engine. :P

I don't care at all about the new thomas characters, that have been introduced these past few seasons. they're dumb and lack true character. they've only been introduced for marketing purposes and to make the show seem not sexist. even though it never was. Plus, they don't even have a true thomas charm to them. they completely ruin the series. thomas is a British show, and book series about BRITISH ENGINES ON A BRITISH RAILWAY. not about emigration from exotic countries to make the show "politically correct" which is ridiculous. If Bachmann were to make them, don't make them now. make them after the classic characters. more adults, and adolescence collect the actual MODEL THOMAS range. few children do.

Rolling stock:
Red, Tan, or old branch line coaches: these types of coaches were extremely prominent in the show in it's earlier days. and they go with all the tank engines as they used them the most often in the show. they also really would highlight the engines as well.

the Break down train: Not seen so much these day's but every railway needs a breakdown train. It's been seen a lot over the years, many people seem to really want it. It would also need the works coach.

Vans with faces: some troublesome vans to highlight the thomasness more.

China Clay trucks: bill Ben, and BoCo work with these trucks as well as Edward. china clay is one of sodor's primary minerals. It is mentioned and seen a lot.

Small flat wagons: just some small flat goods wagons. to make a good goods train.

salt wagons: same as above.

Chinese dragon: a fun piece to add to a set to give it some character. also a very popular and well known piece of rolling stock.

Christmas tree on flat wagon: seen a few times. be good for the holidays.

pieces of cargo would be nice to add to wagons, like fish, crates, tarps, etc......

Caroline the car, and some railway staff would really even things out a lot too. Mrs. kindley too.

snow plows for thomas, Donald, Douglas, Henry, James, Gordon, and duck: cool accessory they're seen often in the show. Donald and Douglas plow snow all the time.

That's really all the things I could see bachmann making......
