I was talking to Corrie (thompsonline) on skype the other day and he made some good points aout what he thought it would be, such as it wouldnt be another gray truck with a diff face because all they would have to do is MAKE ANOTHER FACE, that would take a month or less...
the vent. van same thing except make it brown instead of blue...
and then he said "a completely new tooling" now i not going to show the pic he sent me,
but bach-man, is the TT #3 a completely new type of tooling?
I would think it's something brand new since there is no picture :-\
and I know that this is off topic, but can you post some pictures of you bash and dash models and/or upload a video of them to youtube?
i still cant upload pictures >:( (not mad at u TF247 ;)) BUT if u watch my Model Showcases they will be in the next one which will be Model Showcase 7
It's probably just a grey van with a face, like this:

We can only hope. But it would be good if it was that one or similar! There were a few like that that could be done...
Then again, on the rare offchance, it could be a truck from the original series of episodes!

That stinks :( That's ok :) I can't wait for the next showcase ;D
I have a facebook page called Bachmann Thomas and Friends and on their, there are a couple pics on what I think Troublesome Truck #3 will look like.

Thanks for a link. ::) Many people have their ideas of what it will be like but only Bachmann really chooses. It is pretty obvious that it will be either a van or truck with a new face on it. The faces were never accurate to the TV series completely, so I don't expect anything different this time. I actually kind of like the "original" faces on Troublesome Trucks 1 and 2.
I'm gonna assume we will most likely see a picture of troublesome truck 3 when pictures from the ihobby show are revealed... That's generally when Bachmann updates their photo gallery to display new products into the range.
And when is that again?

October 21-25. So just a number of weeks :)
SWEEEEET!! not long now! ;D
ooh i can't wait either ;D
i just hope it isn't just another plain ol' coal truck with a face slapped on.. that would sortof be a downer
I can really see this coming out:

My reason being that Bachmann is making more and more items from scratch nowadays, rather than pre-existing toolings.
thats the van me and corrie were talking about ;)
that would be great

Credit goes to SI3D I'm guessing. :P ;D I wouldn't mind another wagon, but I'm more concerned as to what the face will look like.
I know it will turn out good. After they got their heads above water with the Thomas range, Bachmann hasn't had a flaw yet. ;)
But heres the thing, even if it was a van dont you think we would had a pic. of it by now considering Bachmann would probably use a ven. van, same for a grey truck. It could be a hopper like Hector or a bolster wagon like in the Henry's forrest episode.
That isn't a vent van though; that's a narrow gauge van the TV series modelers used as a standard gauge van (same with the China Clay wagons). Strange eh?
is it really? ha, didnt know that ;)

I understand where you are coming from but you could kind of say that about Donald and Douglas... it is really only one shell being produced (body and tender), but there are still no pics or dates on their release. They were even announced at the same time as Bill and Ben. ::)
I also highly doubt it will be a bolster wagon. They never had faces... :P Wasn't sure why you would even consider that. There were no hoppers like Hector in any Thomas episode besides... well, Hector, and I think they would have announced "Hector" instead of Troublesome Truck #3. :P I am leaning towards a ventilated van or a gray truck again. I think it is taking longer because Bachmann is going for more accuracy with the TV series faces (from past judgement) and there are many truck faces to pick from. I would say there are at least 15 faces that were ever used on a common troublesome truck. :)
These are my thoughts and I chose to present them. ;) ;D
Then I guess bolster wagons would have to be a project.
Have the iHobby photos been released yet? I'm hoping they will be soon

Or an 8 ton goods van like this. (http://www.smallbrookstudio.com/custom/CATALOGUE%20009.jpg)
That is a possibility. I would like more closed vans. There are a lot of open wagons and it is time to give the vent van a companion. ::) :P ;D

So the vent van cant be friends with the cattle wagon or salt van. :D
