If we get episodes that focus around the TGR continuity, then it might salvage the lackluster aspects of the special.
Well that's a little difficult considering Gordon won't be streamlined anymore and none of the international engines are returning except Scotsman. I'm sure James and Emily won't be painted either. I dunno maybe Scotsman can say to Gordon "Brother you look different from the last time I saw you!". Other than that I don't see much.

Hey we got Thomas looking like David Bowie during one of the musical segments where is my Take N Play of that?.
I mean there's a kinda trackmaster version of it. Probably won't help you but it might. I see what you mean though, give us David Bowie Thomas and make it a merchandise item.

This can be considered a Thomas model as this engine (or atleast on if the same class) was in a learning segment on a cgi DVD. Just incase someone wants it to be removed for not having to do with Thomas. But other than that the model looks beautiful. It even looks like it might have interior detail. Anyways I can't wait to see Rheneas. Aswell as to UPTODAY, The props were mainly just oversized toys infact in the original (and quite frankly better) script of a certain special they were called oversized toys. The original models were intended to be toy like and were just O Scale engines. So Skarloey looking like a toy has more to do with the actual model than Bachmann.

The US versions are on YouTube. Posted by TTTESeasonsUS. In case you want to watch them before you read the review. Or after to see if you agree. Either way they're there.

I think they added Rosie just to add another female to the line up. Which I guess would help Daisy's case to become a model. I can also see that most likely Stuart and Falcon... I mean Sir Hamdle and Peter Sam, wouldn't be released together, just that it would be amazing if they did. I really wish they'd bring back Duke to the series so we could have a Bachmann Model. I'd make one myself but I'm not good at these sort of things and you'd definitely be able to tell it's homemade. So for the meantime we just have to wait. Can't wait to see what we get next year, hope it's good.

Stanley is unlikely as he hasn't been seen since before the cgi series started. Daisy just came back and hasn't been in a single episode yet as of her return (She will soon though) and she never had much of a roll when she still was in the series. Paxton though is likely as we only have a few diesels and Paxton's been making a name for himself lately. I definitely do like your analog Diesel idea though. Seems likely (in a way) aswell. I doubt they'll do anything to spencer seeing as he hasn't had a decent roll in the series since Hero of the Rails.

As for narrow gauge I'm pretty sure Sir Handle would be around the same time as Peter Sam. It just seems logical in my opinion. I agree though that Percy's issue is tooling, unfortunately I doubt Bachmann would fix it as they'd be making a whole new engine and people are still buying this one. But hey James is in the works so maybe.

I think it should be DCC ready like a plug and play type of deal. That way the rest of the characters don't get left in the dust. It's also been proven that you can DCC fit it and keep the eyes. Other than that I totally agree, I just wish they would stick with the (better) classic series than the new CGI series. I'll like it either way but id rather it be classic. But an updated face for them all, color fixes, and maybe some more accurately sized bits would be a great choice. I love this range I just haven't gotten Percy, James or Thomas yet mainly because of how out of place they feel with the others. These are the main characters and to see that they're representing this line if for sure like to see them improved. I feel like fixing the main 3 would bring many more people to this line. Hopefully Bachmann does this.

Not a problem. It's not commonly known that he's narrow gauge and hard to see unless you really look. It took me a while. I'm always glad to fill those with new knowledge.

Any reason Bachmann wouldn't release Victor in H-O scale in the near future ???
Firstly he's a narrow gauge engine. Secondly there are other characters that have been around longer they could make. Thirdly he's not exactly the most popular engine and doesn't add much to the current lineup so I doubt they'd make him for a while atleast, and if they do then it would be in HOn30, not HO.

I was really hoping it was true because it had some characters like Duke, Flynn, Harvey, Peter Sam and Sir Handle coming pretty soon but of course I knew that there was no way it was. I mean who here wouldn't want to see Peter Sam and Sir Handle made by Bachmann. But like I've said there's next to no chance it was true I just wanted to make sure someone didn't leak some big business plan by Bachmann or something. I could prove to you all the stuff that was put on there before they reverted it back with screenshots but they won't go through. I even cropped them and lowered the quality. Anyways this topic should be terminated (I can't do that (or dunno how) or I would've already) as I have already proven what this post was meant to prove.

It was changed as they proved that the persons edits were just guesses and were most likely wrong. The redesigned James has been proven though and it was on this very forum that it was proven.

It's easiest to apply stickers and decals with a toothpick and/or tweezers. It'll still be hard with stickers that small but it definitely makes a difference. I'm sure that Stuart and Falcon... I mean Sir Handle and Peter Sam will come in the near future. Not too many little engines and these are selling like hot cakes. Can't wait to see more from you guys.

I just wanted to make sure there was no reason for it before I did something about it.

It has been removed. It just said random characters like Flynn and Splodge with what seemed like random dates. Excuse me for cluttering up the forum with this. I just wanted to make sure I didn't change something saying it was incorrect when it was.
