Title: End of the line
Post by: Sodor Perfection on October 14, 2011, 09:29:32 AM
**DISCLAIMER** This is a hypothetical scenario. I have not had insider information passed to me. This is NOT breaking news. Please take the question seriously and answer honestly. **DISCLAIMER**


I was thinking the other day, what happens if Bachmann were to announce that they were no longer going to be producing HO scale Thomas and Friends items terrible that would be and then I thought, what if they were to decide that they were going to produce five more items before they were to stop production, what would I want? So many to choose from, very difficult to decide, but here goes.

I think I'm not alone in suggesting DUCK as my first choice, the red branch line coaches second, Daisy third, Oliver forth and lastly to go with the latter, Toad.

So you're now the head of the department who chooses what to make as the 'final five', what would you want produced?

*Queue the rant* - I believe that HIT should try to focus on the already established characters and try to get the show back to the way it was when Britt was on the footplate (especially series 1 and 2). And enough of finding new places on Sodor, if it wasn't a fictional place then it'd be the size of Russia and if HIT continues it'll be double that size within a few more series, talk about global domination!. *End of rant*

* Duck
* Stepney
* Oliver
* Toad
* Boco

That's my five. If rolling stock were seperate, I'd replace Toad with Harvey, for pure interest in that crane arm!

Well since we have B&B and D&D, I say the best line up for a final five would be.
1. DUCK
2. OLIVER
3. BOCO
4. RED BRANCH LINE COACHES OR TOAD

Post by: ZeldaTheSwordsman on December 09, 2011, 09:15:55 PM
This is the list, unadjusted for what I've already got
1. Rosie (USA-class loco models are thin on the ground)
2. Lady (Lady is unique and kitbashing to make her is not an easy task, so an actual manufactured model would be a boon)
3. Diesel 10 (Not a whole lot of people make his engine class)
4. Oliver - Oliver and Duck have been discontinued by Hornby though I believe they still produce a 14xx model. These two are bottom of the list because models of their classes are much more common and so making your own wouldn't be too hard.
5. Duck

This is the list adjusted for what I've got.
1. Rosie
2. Diesel 10
3. Old Slow Coach (cheaper than importing)
4. Isabel (Hornby discontinued their GWR auto-coach apparently)
5. Oliver

Toad would be easy enough to do, GWR brake vans aren't too hard to come by. Same for Splatter and Dodge because gronks are common as muck.
