Dear Bachmann Team,I am writing to share a product concept that could bridge the gap between physical model railroading and the massive world of gaming, helping to introduce a brand-new generation of hobbyists to Bachmann trains.Given Bachmann's incredible success with licensed lines like Thomas & Friends, I believe there is an untapped market for premium models based on famous video game trains and rail vehicles.Here are three specific product concepts that would translate beautifully into model railroading:1. Minecraft Crossover (Scale Idea: On30) Engine Idea: The Minecart with Furnace.Why it works: In the game, the furnace minecart acts as a locomotive to push other carts. Modeling this in On30 scale is perfect because it allows for a chunky, blocky design that matches the game's aesthetic perfectly while running on narrow gauge HO scale track. The train cars include: Minecart, Minecart with Chest, Minecart with Hopper, and MInecart with TNT. 2. Mario Kart Crossover (Scale Idea: HO Scale) Engine Idea: The Kalamari Express. Why it works: This is an iconic, Western-style steam train that has been a staple obstacle in the Mario Kart series for decades. (much like the other trains in the Mario Kart series (usually)) It would appeal heavily to Nintendo fans and collectors alike. 3. Conduct This! Starter Set (Scale Idea: HO Scale) Set Idea: "Don't Hit the Bus" (Based on the popular Conduct Together! level).What it includes: A Northplay Type-1 commuter engine, a simple loop that is placed on a green piece of foam that also serves as what's keeping the actual train in its place with the infamous loop that is also the bus path in which you must avoid hitting the bus (hence the name) by stopping the train in time, and the aforementioned toy bus obstacle to recreate the game's fun, puzzle-like near misses.Set idea: Aranearum Island from Choo-Choo Charles. (comes with the player train, RC Choo-Choo Charles, and all the locations from the game) Set Idea: Minecraft Mines #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5, as well as Plains Village, Desert Village, Savanna Village, aiga Village, Snowy Village, and their Abandoned variants. Series idea: Trainstation 2: Origami Class 44, Sushi Liner, SBB RE460 MEDIC, Polestar, Dlr Ngt, Cargon Heavy, Cargon Light, Alba BR Class 88, Los Cocos BL36PH, Gulf Talent 3, Atomic Class X, Last Myth, Challenger, Steel Fort, Peacemaker, Steam Movie Star, Infested GNR Class H4, Infested GE U30C, HRG-LS, Ironfish, Crawler Crane, Utility Shunter, Stone Crusher, Drill Master, Henschel Wegman, Million Lights, Santa's Garratt, Toy Train, Rudolph, EMD 3000M, Moon Express, Moon guard, Moon Truck, EZH 3 Ghoul, Electroshock, Juggernaut, Iron Hound, Red Reaper, Dustpiercer, Harley Express, Grave Express, Skeleton Class 3000, Punmpkin's Revenge, Model Wood1, Gingerbread Train, DRG Class Frosty, Electric Flash, Walrus, West Ham 16, Trainstation Tigers, Partisan Express, Barking Bullet, Railrunner E30, Vespidae, Podliner Class 505, Hurricane Hawk, Polar Express (Trainstation 2 version), Iceberg, Traxx M53 Winterliner, Royal Hudson Arctic, BR37 Viking, EU20 Transformer, Year of the Snake, etc-each coming with their respective event map sets and the base maps from Trainstation 2 (and the rolling stock from the game as well). Video games have millions of active players, many of whom love collectibles and functional models. Bringing these digital trains to life with Bachmann's signature quality would generate massive excitement.Thank you for your time, dedication to the hobby, and consideration of these ideas!Sincerely, [email protected] (P.S.
