I lol'd. Why would they do them in such an obscure scale?

To meet my narrow gauge engines, of course! I only collect g scale 45mm eninges between the scales of 1:20.3 and 1:24. And gauge 3 is not as obscure as you think. Check out this link: http://www.gauge3.org.uk/ and you'll see what i mean.

I know what Gauge 3 is, but it's got no chance. Seriously.

Stop talking cruel!!! You're ruining my dreams!

Ah, here is the other one. I like chuggington. One of my favorite characters is Zephie. I hope bachmann makes chuggington models, especially in Gauge 3.

why would they make them for the THOMAS brand

I didn't say that. Bachmann could make them for the Casey Junior and Friends brand.

You do know there is a thread for this right? A diffrent one, about how there is competition between the two so post it there.

Where?

The following Characters are not Thomas, but they follow the same concept.

Why? One, this is about Bachman's Thomas line, two, why? Chuggington lacks creativity. 

It does not lack creativity. I like the design of the characters.

Not its not. I've seen wierder shows. Besides, if Bachmann can do Underground Ernie, they can do chuggington, too.

Dear Bachmann,

Would it be possible to make HO scale models of the Chuggington Characters?

Here is what I hope they come out with:

Wonderful ideas! Hope Bachmann can do them.

Gauge 3 has been dead for a few years, but seemingly replaced by 20.3 Std Ga.  2.75" ga.

Also 7/8N2, much alive and very interesting (on 45mm ga.).

!/24 scale on 45mm is 42" gauge, currently alive and well in Oz (Aust.).

Barry - BBT

Hi Barry, actually Gauge 3 is alive and well ... in Britain, almost entirely live steam but then Gauge 3 almost exclusively always has been

www.gauge3.co.uk/

Actually Thomas and Percy would be good candidates for gauge 3 conversion

You can convert some engines to gauge 3? I guess I'll do that if i get Casey Junior by Accucraft and/or Ivor by Locolines.

And here are some excellent ideas for Gauge 3.

And Here are just a few good examples for Gn15 prototypes. Note: Gauges between 14 and 18 inches are ideal.
