mr bachmann is it just me or are the tender engines stronger foward then the are backwards?

because i had james pulling spencers special coach and special brake coach (i think james looks good with those coaches) and it was just fine, but backwards he barely moved  and then wilbert had to come help him out!

Wilbert; 

James;

Emily is based on the Stirling Single. It has a tractive effort of 11,245 pounds, which is about 374 horsepower. I'm not sure how many that would be in HO scale.

I'm sure Emily is not a live steam HO scale Single

but if she was that would be awesome!

Well, Large Scale James is definitely the next large scale, as they're going by the production order of the original smaller line. Heh. Hopefully the large-scale Percy set won't get cancelled. And I'd also like to see the smaller one reinstated.

Here's something: New faces on Thomas and Percy, and open cabs for them, James, Mavis, and I think Toby as well.

I have opened the cab for Thomas, Percy,James, Mavis, Toby and i am working on salty and i know T-Line has taken the faces off of bachmann percy and thomas and put on hornby faces

My parents will buy me one engine of my choice for my birthday anyone one have a good idea of which one to pick?

they do have alot more engines to cover even like the older ones donald and douglas, diesel, stepney, oliver, bill and ben,and duck (i really want them to make duck he is one of my favorite engines)

i think that bachmann should make the other new engines i mean they made emily, and spencer and salty is coming out later this year but make murdoch, arthur, and harvey (his crane dosent even have to move)and billy and rosie... and all those other engines.

maybe not all at once but within the next century would be nice please.
