Well it looks like Oliver is just gonna pop out the blue. I can't think of anything else. Other then them just forgetting about him. But I highly doubt they'd do that.

That happened to me too.

I hope they fix that since my browser does it the wrong way for some reason when I go to the page. It's annoying that I have to go through that because my browser recommendations stink and take me one of the ways that doesn't show Rosie. Sad because I think I was one of the few excited for her.

Oliver and G scale Winston weren't at the show. Those were announced last year, yet they were able to give out the estimated release timings for the products that were announced this year.

Who knows? Maybe Oliver will get released out of the blue like Toad.

I have to agree with you there. It's really the most logical solution at this point. I doubt that they would put new characters before the old. Besides since Toad is Oliver's brakevan it could be a hint as to what Oliver will be like. Hopefully they haven't fallen under the same fate as the redesigned James... They just weren't sent to the plant in time for production until I think 2017.

Speaking of the shop I noticed a glitch where the only way Rosie comes up is if you go specifically to "ho" then "T&F" then "Locomotives". If you go through brands, then T&F, then Ho and so on it doesn't show her. It's odd.

Also just because someone hasn't posted a picture does not mean Oliver wasn't shown. It is possible that just no member of the forum is at the show. Or they forgot to take a picture. Or they forgot to post it. Or maybe it's not at the show yet. There's plenty of other reasons why we don't have a picture. And while it's likely he's not there, he still could be. You never know. Or maybe like I think it was James who said he's coming soon, just released without notice or any information but what we already know. It happened with toad who is Oliver's brake van, could be foreshadowing... Like in The Adventure Begins... James is foreshadowing...

I was just curious what it was as I couldn't tell. I did see yellow which is not a usual color and I was just wondering if anything new could be made out, weather or not it's Oliver. Thanks for the help though. If I can find anything else that might interest someone I'll post it.

I found a video of the show and you can see some Thomas and friends stuff in the background as they're talking about a few new releases. I can't make out anything but maybe you can. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1bFQ0aQGU. I think I saw a brake van and then something yellow underneath it. I'm on a tablet so if someone else could see things better that'd be great.

Hey wouldn't it be cool if they sold a part separately from each Gordon and Thomas that was kinda like the snowplow that would make both Thomas and Gordon (different part for each obviously) streamlined so you could recreate those scenes. Thomas would be hard and probably not look right but having a Shooting Star Gordon shell that I can put on and take back off would be amazing.

Since Bachmann has neglected to sell separately HO Thomas' snowplough, I find this highly unlikely.

It'd still be pretty cool though. And a good idea. I understand it's unlikely but it'd still be pretty cool don't you agree?

The last second tactic is where they don't release the information people want until the product is being released or it's about to be released so as to make people more curious and more upset that they don't have it already which when it comes out makes them more excited and more likely to buy it.

What is the "Old Lady Second Tactic"?

It was meant to say wait until the last second or "the last second tactic"

It

What's weird about the schedule is that they have tomorrow (Saturday, July 9, 2016) as the last day of the NMRA, but the last day of the NMRA show is Sunday, July 10, 2016. Where is Sunday at in the schedule?

It does just show the events, like a class on how to make realistic scenery (I don't know if that's there just using it as an example) so there's probably just no events that day. If you want a good link full of everything go to http://www.nmra2016.org

Where does it say anything about it?

I never said they would show Oliver just that the show ends at 10 so if we were to receive information at this point it would be after that. Seeing as people will be leaving, that's when they'll have time to post.

Just to clarify I'm not at the show. I might've but it interfered with another vacation. I'm just stating what I know already.

Are they going to do any Bachmann Thomas events at all? Like reveal all the Bachmann Thomas products including Oliver?

They kinda already did everything but Oliver already... Which means they're using the old last second tactic or he's at the show now on display and we're just watching and waiting for someone to post pictures.
