I couldn't find a Bachmann event but I wasn't really looking for it. It'll say spreadsheet on the part it's on.

nmra2016.org there's a schedule somewhere and it ends at 10. So if someone is there we probably won't find out til after that.

Hey guys, I've been reading the schedule for the show and if Oliver was revealed today we probably won't find out until after 10 tonight.

Also I had to send that message because for some reason my last one got deleted. I know I didn't delete it. Any clue why? Anyways I have a hunch Oliver is coming sooner than we expect. We just have to be on the look out.

I wonder if anyone will be there to take pictures if the model is there. Likely Oliver is shown and the information is on his little plate. I'm pretty sure the only way to know is if someone is there. Since it is a brochure it's meant to be something they give out which informs people about what else is coming. We may find out tonight or tomorrow morning from someone who is at the show. I sure hope so. Or if it hasn't been shown yet maybe they're waiting until the last day to surprise everyone. It's a business tactic because as soon as people give up hope they show it and surprise everyone making them really excited. I sure hope this is the case since toad is very lonely for the time being.

Rosie is getting released before the locomotives announced LAST year?

I am more upset about Rheneas and the NG rolling stock.  Very disappointing and very unfortunate. 

Honestly, it feels like everything but what I was interested in is getting released.   

Or maybe it's there just nobody on the forum is there to see it. Maybe it will be released soon. The show hasn't ended yet so don't lose hope of Oliver coming out soon. They threw toad at us with no notice, maybe this is the same.
I hope that helps ease you're concernes about Oliver.

More specifically would a Thomas trackmaster face fit on the Bachmann Thomas? If not then what faces would fit specifically on the Bachmann Thomas? After all it's only him, James and Percy who need a face swap and they're redoing James soon anyways.

Trackmaster faces won't fit Thomas, Percy, or James, a Hornby face or a wooden railway face will fit Thomas though, as will a De Agostini one. Hornby Percy's face will fit Bachmann Percy. James's De Agostini will fit him.

Thanks, you've been a big help and saved my old tomy and trackmaster trains!

Hey wouldn't it be cool if they sold a part separately from each Gordon and Thomas that was kinda like the snowplow that would make both Thomas and Gordon (different part for each obviously) streamlined so you could recreate those scenes. Thomas would be hard and probably not look right but having a Shooting Star Gordon shell that I can put on and take back off would be amazing.

If there was any news on him it would have been included in the announcement brochure, we may just see a prototype on display and that's it. They are not going to release him without annoucing shipping dates.

They just threw toad at us with no notice, and you know, waiting until the last second is a business tactic. Don't give up hope yet.

Well like I said, show's not over, they could always wait until the last second so more people get excited and buy it. A lot of companies have been using that tactic lately and since Oliver is really anticipated that might be what they're doing. He could be coming sooner that we thought.

More specifically would a Thomas trackmaster face fit on the Bachmann Thomas? If not then what faces would fit specifically on the Bachmann Thomas? After all it's only him, James and Percy who need a face swap and they're redoing James soon anyways.

That's odd seeing as Rosie was just announced a few months ago yet we've know about Oliver for over a year now. I wish we would get more info on him. But in secret I was kinda excited for Rosie a little, so it's good to here about her pricing. Hey who knows, maybe we'll see Oliver later, the show hasn't ended so you never know. But if anyone knows for sure and is not just using a site that is guessing themselves, when is Oliver going to be released? Sorry just curious. Also I'm new to the fourm. So hello everyone.
