To me, it might be interesting to see (in no order):
Daisy
Diesel 10
Splatter & Dodge or Arry & Bert
Rosie
Hector
Circus Cars
Bulstrode
George
Dowager Hatt
Henry & the Flying Kipper Set

I will edit this if I have to when I learn what Bachmann will release this year

I dunno I'll post my two cents after the toy fair well one thing I don't really care for the large scale range as I do not collect it but I do care for the HO range...

Post by: BillingsRR on February 12, 2011, 08:56:46 AM
I will wait until the Toy Fair ends. I can't wait ti see what the other announcements are for this year!
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: fighter4luv on February 12, 2011, 09:01:35 AM
I wouldn't mind getting the Large Scale Percy and James... and if Edward and the other 2 main engines were released, I'd like to get them just for display purposes... since it's probably the closest to having the real thing :P
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: MetaDude27 on February 12, 2011, 09:44:47 AM
If Duck and/or Oliver don't make it, then obviously them. The only other engine I would really want is Stepney. I love that guy! :)

yeeah I'm gonna wait till the announcments are up too

Same here
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas

We're getting Diesel this year!!
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: DinoNTrains on February 13, 2011, 12:05:06 PM
Yeah, and I have a feeling that perhaps the windmill will be released.
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: BillingsRR on February 13, 2011, 01:48:23 PM
OK since we have some announcements, here is my list:
HO
Duck
Truck 4
Lady Hatt

LS
Toby, Edward, and/or Emily
Henrietta(If Toby)
Emily's Coaches(if Emily)
Cattle Car
Brakevan

I don't think any LS figures will be released since the HO ones are a compatible size for a LS engine.
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: DinoNTrains on February 13, 2011, 02:44:15 PM
I have to agree with you on the figures. And your predictions are cool.
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: 7029cluncastle on February 13, 2011, 04:15:16 PM
i know it is optomistic but i wouldnt mind seeing harvey or fergus. harvey could be converted into the duubs crane tank for any british idustrial modellers and fergus could become the blue circle too. duck, oliver, toad, spiteful brakevan, stepney, derek, bo-co, murdoch, arthur and old slow coach. anyone of them for me  ;)
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: BillingsRR on February 13, 2011, 04:21:55 PM
Fergus would be to fragile and a child could easily break his wheel in 5 seconds, unless Bachmann makes it super strong. But Fergus, along with many other characters, vanished and hasn't been seen for a while.
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: Mulfred on February 13, 2011, 04:39:51 PM
I'd love for bachmann Duck, Oliver, Stepney, BoCo (After all HE was a great engine, for all some people don't know him) Rolling stock, Toad, Red Coaches, Troublesome truck 4. Non rail, Trevor, Elizabeth, Bulgy and maybe Geroge. If there is any more news on 2011 I'll make some changes if needed.

how about some more recent characters? scruff, whiff, stanley, belle, flora, dennis, molly etc?
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: MetaDude27 on February 15, 2011, 02:17:24 PM
Personally, I don't really care much for the new characters. I only like the ones from the original Railway Series.

HO scale
Locomotives: Duck, Oliver, Stepney
Rolling stock/Coaches: Red Branch-line Coaches, Toad, Breakdown Train
Other Friends: N/A
Destinations: N/A

some of them are okay, but others are just too over the top.
my 2012 list will be:
engines: duck, oliver, rosie and/or Bo-Co

If they're only going to announce 3 engines.... I'd have to say Duck, Oliver, and Stepney for 2012

Post by: panniertankboy8751 on February 20, 2011, 07:51:41 PM
My wishlist:

Locos:

Duck
Oliver
Stepney
Mark  ;D

Rolling Stock:

Old Branchline Coaches
Red Branchline Coaches
Season 1 truck
Season 1 Express Coach

And pretty much anything else we haven't seen since seasons 1-2.

I was also thinking, not saying this is ever going to happen, but what if Bachmann, being the kind people they are *insert suck-up face here* made RWS Series accurate or semi-accurate models.

That's pretty much what Hornby have done (besides the faces).

Was also just thinking, they should make a 4th T-Truck with the scary bulging eyes LOL :P

Post by: panniertankboy8751 on February 21, 2011, 10:22:12 AM
Yes, I know Hornby has done this. But Bachmann is actually around $10-$11 cheaper than Hornby in the TTTE range.

Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: panniertankboy8751 on February 21, 2011, 03:56:20 PM
Mark is short for Marklin, a German Model Manufacturer, who made the producers the models for the show. Mark is never seen exept for in a behind the sences photo. All he was ever even used for was pulling random trains around in some shots.
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: Anthony P2 on February 21, 2011, 04:07:56 PM
why don't you just buy a Marklin engine in HO scale? Why wait for Bachmann to (never) make one when you can just buy an engine, that looks like the Marklin engine, from Marklin.
Title: Re: bachmann thomas for 2012 ideas
Post by: BillingsRR on February 21, 2011, 04:48:25 PM
I know Marklin, they make Gauge 1(G scale, G gauge, Large Scale) models. You can still buy them today. LGB makes products similar to them, but are more for running than showing(like the real models for TTTE).

It was only a joke.
