Hi all,
So I am wondering if anyone can give me guidance on where to find HO rolling stock in the image of those seen in Thomas and Friends, but not currently offered by Bachmann (even if at one point they were :-\)...but as they say, pictures are worth a thousand words!

Despite the new green mail car being suggested as, well, a mail car, it looks like nothing but a standard utility wagon to me. I'll be using them as such when they come out.
As for the others, I'm not sure outside of EBay :/

I was referring to other model train producers...and please if you don't know the answer don't reply to the thread...
Ok sorry, it seems I misunderstood.
For suitable cars, take a look at Bachmann UK or PECO products.

It's ok, you asked a question and I responded with a discussion instead of an answer. I read through your post too quickly.
In any case I hope you find what you are looking for, http://www.etrainshop.com/tek9.asp?pg=products&grp=93 still has the old RF container wagon in stock it seems, I hope that provides some sort of start! They also have the Tar tanker!
Since they don't have a pic posted, the RF container wagon was a really small flat bed, about the size of a troublesome truck without the wagon body.

Otherwise known as a Conflat...... easy and available
Bachmann previously did conflats, flatbeds and wellwagons.
you can easily find these wagons at ehattons.com . Great customer service and they ship anywhere! Great prices, too, for products AND shipping! ;)
