Title: Whats the hold up on Tidmouth Sheds
Post by: SodorAdventures on August 23, 2010, 12:53:05 PM
 Hello Peoples ;) ,

            I have a question to ask to the Bachmann and everyone here:



            WHAT IS THE HOLD UP ON TIDMOUTH SHEDS?


                So, could it be production issues, copyright issues, We want our fans to die of patience issues ;)  ...



                      Anyways, I think that, well,  I am not sure



                                                                                            -Sodoradventures

What?


Anyway, if Bill and Ben are delayed..., I'm not surprised that the sheds are delayed. It seems like everything is delayed.

Bachman is taking their time and making good models. Donald, Douglas, Bill and Ben are all new toolings, so, personally, I was expecting this. Tidmouth Sheds is a bit more complex, so its also no surprise either.

It is a time-consuming process to cut the metal molds for the parts of each model. And Bachmann may have a set of specific release slots. Projects that fall behind schedule or are completed ahead of schedule can take up slots meant for something else. As well, the Thomas range is far from Bachmann's only line. Donald, Douglas, and others may have been bumped because Bachmann has an expensive, big-ticket item planned for holiday release that they don't want competing for sales with the new Thomas items. Or perhaps they don't want to release these new Thomas items at retail during a major discount period. Who knows.

Tomorrow? Wher do you live? I dont go back until September 7th. Maybe you got out earlier then me. What day did you get out? I know in Canada they don't get out of schol until around the end of june, but they go back around the same time as us. lol and why would they send you back on a wednesday? Sorry if my spellings a little off, just woke up. I went to a Green Day concert in detroit yesterday, so i'm pretty tired.

It's a "major discount period" all of the time because retailers need their products off the shelves. We, America at least, are in a recession. Of course prices are low. That really shouldn't back order everything.

I'm just glad that when they take this long, they won't make the silly mistakes they made on James and Percy. For some reason, Thomas is fine.\

Anyway, it's not like they are pulling the plug on us or anything. It's just a general delay. All areas of marketing have this issue on a day-to-day basis. The automotive industry, for example, delays the "release time" a majority of the time.

They all have their reasons, so why make numerous threads with these questions? I would say that 40-50% of the Thomas and Friends board are created through impatience. Why isn't something like this in the Everything Thomas topic? ::)

Bit off subject but I've been in school since early August.. so yeah. :P No fun for me

I don't think the recession has anything to do with Bachmanns models now. They did fine in 2008 and 2009, so I don't see any issues this year either.

This thread should even be closed. Isn't the product soon to be released anyway? Look at the title: there is no hold up anymore. It is being released before the end of the year.

I also agree on the fact that after a combination of bumping a topic that doesn't need a bump, hence what I said above, and saying that you need a turntable to turn your engines: how is that constructive? :(

well as u guys may or may not know i have my own character named emalina (emilys sister) and my "Steam Team" will include 1-8, 11, and 12, and 13 (obviously u shoyld know 1-8) and oliver for 11 (DUH!) and i feel that when emily became a main character she kinda took the number 12 and then of course emalina takes 13
so i will need 2 tidmouth sheds that gives me 10 stalls and 2 turntables (the turnable i will probaly use for my steamworks but thats a diff story ;)) and then i need 1 expansion pack to get the required 11  :) :) :)

well as u guys may or may not know i have my own character named emalina (emilys sister) and my "Steam Team" will include 1-8, 11, and 12, and 13 (obviously u shoyld know 1-8) and oliver for 11 (DUH!) and i feel that when emily became a main character she kinda took the number 12 and then of course emalina takes 13
so i will need 2 tidmouth sheds that gives me 10 stalls and 2 turntables (the turnable i will probaly use for my steamworks but thats a diff story ;)) and then i need 1 expansion pack to get the required 11  :) :) :)
One set of Tidmouth sheds can have a maximum of 12 stalls though

your point?  ???

his point is: why do you need to get two when you could just get add on stalls?

hey im still all about the classics but come on, its not like we can force HiT to take off that extra bay for emily and also; i mean i dont nessicarily hate the CGI anymore, its kind've grown on me

OMG I CANT BELIEVE I JUST SAID I LIKE THE CGI! I NEVER THOUGHT THOSE WORDS WOULD COME OUT OF MY MOUTH!  :-X

But Emily could get put back in Knapford Sheds so Duck has a home. Does anyone realize that when Duck came along one of the six main engines was removed from the sheds in season 2? At times it was Thomas, others Percy, and others Edward.

As for buying Tidmouth Sheds: IMO, I would prefer a Walthers roundhouse. I miss the original Tidmouth sheds with the sooty coloring. The new one is so toy like from my perspective. I also don't use E-Z track on the layout, so the turntable and sheds are no-noes. I already have a Walthers Cornerstone 90' turntable and I can't wait to find its precise home, once I get my main yard muddled out. ::) :P

it would be cheaper to get 2 T. S. rather than buying 6 expansion packs and plus i get a bonus turntable  ;)

Two Tidmouth Sheds and turntables would be $350 with tax! :o One Tidmouth Sheds and a turntable with 6 add-ons would be $385. Wow. Both prices are terribly expensive. Good luck getting the funds for that project.

I'd rather get one with a turntable, one add-on and make my own shed that is basically a rectangle because it wouldn't need to go around a turntable.

Have fun with it.

That's not an engine shed. :P

The TV series modelers for some reason use it as an engine shed sometimes though. Makes no sense if you ask me.

Why not be more accurate and use Knapford Sheds?

(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091107205404/ttte/images/b/b6/PeaceandQuiet20.PNG)

Whichever works for you... It's your layout.

He could always buy from Trainworld or any other model railroading store that sells the Bachmann Thomas line. Trainworld's Tidmouth Sheds is 119.99. Their expansion pack is 23.99. Cuts the bill down to 239.98 (two sheds w/turntable). Big difference, huh? You pay 110.02 less  ;D

That is incorrect. The picture only shows about half of the entire rectangular shed.

I have reason to believe it is 8, with it divided down the middle so there are 4 on each side with one track going next to the shed on both sides. 8 shed tracks, 2 side tracks.

The arrangement of tracks go like this (bare with me because of no picture):

1 Track /SPACE/ 3 tracks /SPACE/ 3 tracks /SPACE/ 1 track

Hope it all makes sense.

You could definitely fit more than that on your layout. I started with an 8 by 6 and I can see that you can easily have a 2 track loop with a small shunting yard or two, a station, and a shed without a turntable (Knapford Sheds?).


Cheers

Take out the nails..... ::) Where there isn't scenery, couldn't you do something? Almost all layouts have scenery removed and replaced with something else at some point. I don't even really have scenery and I'm removing foam hills and elevations everywhere I look. ;)

You said you wished you had sheds, and there are some options. ;D

Thanks but its complicated to explain and when I say I have scenery I mean I already have grass glued down, roads painted, and a lake-not much I can do.
