Great to finally see the final product images! Shame that they didn't make it to the catalog, but better late than never.
Definitely looking forward to getting mine as soon as they get to my hobby store, I already preordered mine.
They look just great! :)
I bet these will be huge sellers. I can't think of a single fan who hasn't wanted them!
The view im most eager for is the brake coach from the back.
They look great! ;D
I think Bachmann have really missed a trick by not including an image of the brake-end image.
I placed my Pre-Order from a UK based site called 'The Diesel Works', as it is the cheapest place for me to buy my Bachmann Thomas & Friends products without to pay high shipping costs getting it posted for me from the USA. I ordered x2 76938 Red Coach and x1 Red Brake Coach. I am so looking for forward for their arrival! If only Celebration Thomas had been released, so he can help celebrate the arrival of the new Red Branchline Coaches to The Island of Sodor! Well, my Model Railway Island of Sodor anyway!
Congrats! :)

Could these be used to represent the old green coaches Edward had in the first few seasons?

Only the composite coach could I believe, but I could be wrong...

I am pretty sure on the Old Coaches pulled by Edward have some sort of bar travelling down the side on the chassis in front of the wheels. If Bachmann to release the Old Coaches (Let's hope they do!), they would need to use the basis of a different coach.

Correct (based on a quick google images search), tried to upload a picture of them but the file is much too large, but you are correct :)

I didn't realise I have such a good memory! These Red Coaches though are also used for Annie and Clarabel, but only the standard / Composite Coach is (Bachmann Item No. 76038).
The Red Coaches have been released already. So I feel a thread like this is outdated and served it's purpose. There really is no point in bringing this thread back.

We had a bit of a Discussion about Edward's Old Coaches though. Somebody thought the Red Coaches could be used as a tooling starter for the Old Coaches, but I don't think they can.
