I have known that you manufacture HO Guage Pennsy K4 Pacific engines. When is Hank going to be made?

Not sure if you are new or not, but we do have a wishlist thread. I know others have made their own threads about this stuff, but all of it should be in the "Wishlist" thread.

Not trying to be offensive otherwise, I understand that we all have wishes.

I doubt Bachmann would make Hank out of there K4.  Bachmann usually makes all new tooling for their Thomas & Friends line.

Bachman's K4 tooling is too detailed (man, never thought I'd say that) to make a toy for children. They would have to change it significantly to make it child safe.
