To be clear I don't think this is true. It might but I highly doubt it. I just want confirmation before I do anything.

Thomas & Friends / New Products?
September 17, 2016, 03:04:16 PM
I was checking the really reliable Thomas Wikia and saw that there are products on the Bachmann page which have release dates as late as 2022. Did I miss something or not. I doubt this is true but I just want to make sure. http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Bachmann

Has anyone else noticed that lately they've been making engines that won't be returning. Or if they do it will be extremely rare. Almost all the characters added in the Great race, Bradford, Hannah and maybe others we don't know about. Seems kinda odd.

This is the best I can do for you. It might help or it might not. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MXHRpzq1wHo

I think I hate Philip more than I hate Emily.
Don't we all? He's just a tiny little engine who won't listen to people and keeps making mistakes while bragging about them. Emily is just kinda bossy. Can't wait to see the episode about Donald and Douglas. Hope to see some more skarloey (kinda working on a little project with his real life counterpart and could use some inspiration) and Glynn's return!

What did you use to achieve that water affect. Sorry but I like to make little movies and it could be a cool addition to some future projects. Yet again you have amazed me. Everything you do with these models is amazing. Can't wait to see more from you.

I wish I was that handy. Hopefully they'll bring him back to the series so Bachmann may actually make him.

Thank you so much! I've been trying to find so much as a standard straight for a while. All I could find were special pieces that do all sorts of things I don't need it to.

That is epic! Did you custom make those or purchase them? If you purchased them where did you? Sorry for asking so many questions I just really want to set up a meet up of Skarloey and Thomas to exchange loads or something of the sort. It'd make for some interesting crashes if such things were to occur.

Ok just to clarify will the dual gauge be the two sizes joined together so that they share a rail like at the new Blue Mountain Quarry or will it be side by side? Something you could do is a little winch (both quarries from the series had one). All you'd have to do is add a really steep incline and attach a few cars to two different lengths of string. Sorry it just struck me as I was re-watching Blue Mountain Mystery.

When it's done will you upload a video of the narrow gauge engines rushing through the quarry? Aswell as maybe you can add a little section of HO as all parts of the Skarloey have a station or something of the sort connecting it to the standard gauge railway. Ideas aside the thing I really like it the fact that if something derails in the tunnel it's fine because you can easily reach in and you added details to the interior so it's not just and empty space you're not supposed to see. I can't wait to see what else you come up with for this. This is amazing, I sure hope one day I can see it in person once it's done, or even now would still be amazing.

Skarloey is not discontinued. The factory just can't keep up with the demand. They have to get a certain amount before they put them on sale. Just watch closely and get one when he pops up again.

There is this software you can use. http://www.scarm.info/index.php it even has EZ Track as an option.

Or here's an index of various ho layouts you can look at. http://www.scarm.info/layouts/track_plans.php?scale=HO#filter

Other than that I can't help you much. I suggest using the traffic filter for Shunting if you're doing the docks.

Hey Chaz and HLC Railroad!

Thanks for commenting! You guys are absolutely right. Now that I am really thinking about it, Hector would probably not seem likely. He is too tall and may not sell as well as I think since he is not in high demand. Maybe Paxton or another Troublesome Truck would be a better option ;).
Yes, we need a tanker troublesome truck, and it's never a problem. I'd love Hector to be a car Bachmann makes but as you said he's too tall. Also I like the idea of Paxton. He'd probably sell better than Rosie will.

Well everyone recently the Hasty Hannah thing was confirmed. It is also said Hannah resembles Henrietta. If you need proof check the ttte fan wikia and look at season 20. If you need links I can provide them.
