I know Sparks.      He said other good HO sites.   I know its OO, but you can learn a lot from other sites like those. 

If you mean forums and stuff like that then here are some:

Take your time Bachmann.  No rush.   
I think Anthony wants to know in a matter of space.   I know for myself, I am making a add on to my layout and I want to make sure I dont build everything but the sheds and when I put them on they dont fit (Length wise on the board).   Or I could be wrong.  No doubt at all that
the big engines fit. 

How about troublesome trucks with different faces?   

funny thing, my new James bumped when he ran and come to find out, he wasnt put together all the way. 

Well, since I havent posted here in a while, I'll update my list! 


I would like to see classic characters, S7 and back.  (Yes S7 is a classic to me) 

Here is a list:

Thomas
Edward
Henry
Gordon
James
Percy
Toby
Duck*
Donald*
Douglas*
Oliver
Boco
Daisy
Bill
Ben
Mavis
Diesel*
Salty
Arry
Bert
Derek
Harvey*
Fergus
Murdoch*
Spencer
Arthur*
Emily


Engines listed are those who aren't one offs (With the exception of Derek).  Engines marked with a * are ones I would like to see soon, but I dont make the calls, Bachmann does!   

I suggest saving up and buying the NS track from bachmann.   It would be more easier and free of risk of killing your track.

okay, thats good, happens to me too, but ther is a lot of ways to get nickel silver track, either you can buy true track from atlas, it is code 83 track with brown ties and removable roadbed

EDIT:  He has a good idea.  I use it and I am using it again for my 3rd layout w/out the ballast.  Code 83 has brown ties and you might have to clean it once in a while, but its better than scrubbing everytime you use it!  lol

Fantastic modelling there!   I like the face alot!  I thought for a sec you had the TV series counterpart! 

Thats isnt good.  You best try and sweep your CPU before it gets worse.  Uninstall Trainz again AFTER you get the virus off.  Then, you best go and get the newer models.

I know right?   We have got the steam team and Mavis and Spencer and Salty.

Hmmm.....  you could get Thomas and paint it like her if you arent good at modelling.

It is a fantastic read!   I am only on Chapter 2, but it is very interesting.  I read ahead and loved how Gordon got hid name and how Thomas came to be!   
BTW, Edward is a fantastic runner and so is Mavis.  Edward pulls about four express coaches with ease.   He can manage about 6, but he slips.  I haven't seen Mavis' potential.  All she has pulled is trucks, about 4 or 5.  She toted the mail van round once, but I gave it to Percy. 

I was at the store today, and I heard someone even complaining how hard HO/OO is for them.  I doubt they'd go smaller.   
Possibilities?  Think S8 and onwards.   I think those are the guys you can expect from Bachmann.  But February will only tell.   Hopefully Salty isnt the only one...

ANYWAYS....    This is a Christmas topic, not the fussing topic. 
On a happier note, how was everyone's holiday?  What did you guys get?

Me?  I got:
-Bachmann Edward and Mavis
-1/35 Scale model of a Class 52 Steam Engine
-The Thomas the Tank Engine Man

I think youre right Chaz. Diesel is probably the next one.
