Dear Bachmann

Are you planning on updating your HO Thomas, Percy and James models that you made back in 2002? There not too bad, it's just that the first three HO Thomas models you made have some flaws in them.

You HO Thomas, Percy and James model's has bodies that makes them look like there TV Series looks, but there are a few flaws in the first 3.

HO Thomas' the face isn't very TV Series accurate, which can be the same for your HO Percy and James models.

HO Percy doesn't have any windows at the back of his cab and doesn't have a dummy coupling hook at his back bumper beam.

HO James' Wheels are grey instead of black and the bottom part of James' smoke box is left Red.

Let's not forget that your HO Thomas, Percy and James models are all missing front couplings.

I apologize for bashing you or anything, it's just that I think your Large Scale versions of Thomas, Percy and James look better then your HO ones. Here are some differences between Thomas, Percy and James in your HO scale models and your Large Scale ones.

HO Thomas:

HO Percy:

HO James:

I don't know if this can be call a request, I would like to see a big update on your HO Thomas, Percy and James models.

Yours truly, GTPS2

In 2009, I'm going to be building a big HO layout for my model series in 2010. Here a drawing I made to see how it whould look like.

I'm hoping this dosen't come out "pointless", cause Casey Jr is not a TTTE character, but he will be in my HO model movie I'm doing in future.

There wasn't a model in all different scale models of Casey Jr. They only have Casey Jr in G scale, & I figgered(Can't spell good sometimes) I might make a HO/OO scale model of Casey Jr from the 1941 Disney flim "Dumbo".

I also wanted to paint him like how he was in this video on Youtube.

If anyone have some tips on how to make a HO/OO Casey Jr model, just give them to me.

Hey guy's, you should know me as "Eric Thorsen" from the old Bachmann board, & I'm back as "GTPS2".

I also wanted to ask, it's it true that Bachmann is making Salty in 2009?
