I mean,yeah,I do like Bee James,but why mattel will accept Bachmann to make an hit era one-time model?
Did that mean bachmann had more create freedom before，but now don't？

I am not (quite) interested in N scale (except HOn30) or G scale, but I do have idea for HO and HOn30 scale.
HO engines :
Stepney of course , we have been suggesting it from 2019 even more before , but first it delayed because Ryan ( who have terrible price ) , second because Daisy . Now it's time for Stepney of 40 years Thomas and Friends celebration .
Boco , which usually have chance because of Daisy .
Murdoch and Hiro , too big for Thomas and Friends series but still have chance .
HO rolling stocks :
Re-release of tar tanker ( PS : the nearest hobby store around my home still has goods in stock of it ) , flatbed with paint drums .
Chinese dragon , which can use the flatbed of log or paint durms' .
Gordon's special coach and old slow coach , simply recolour .
HO buildings :
Re-release of Maithwhite , Tidmouth and Knapford Station .
Knapford Shed , perfect home for Salty .
Henry 's Tunnel , we can make video for Henry's sad story now !
HO Non-rails :
Remote Bertie , Harold and more : will let the 30-dollar-plastic-push-thing became more-expensive-but-more-fun-stuff .
Jack and the pack : I mean , just Jack and Alfie .
HOn30 :
Duke , a tiny chance ( of course will be later than Duncan )
Culdee and Culdee Fell Railway coaches , less chance than Duke .
Refreshment coach , just for fun .
Flatbed with logs , steel or puppets , for fun too .
