Interesting thoughts.  Seems that everyone wants Duck, Donald, and Douglas around here and I have to go with them on that one.  But I am interested in seeing Diesel come out into the range too.  I've always wanted to see Bachmann make Duck the most though, would make sense to do him next since he's been wanted the most...and he's the number 8 and Donald and Douglas are 9 and 10

Couldn't agree more (maybe apart from the Diesel bit, but even still, I wouldn't him being made  ) 

I'm almost certain all of them could, but definitley no doubt about about 10cm (Annie & Clarabel) ones.

I know this would almost certainly not happen, but if Bachmann took the tooling for the large scale version and then redid the HO counterpart. As the large scale version looks massively more like the actual Thomas compared to the HO version. Even though the face looks a lot better than the old one, I'm too fond of the new season 12 face

Thanks 

But Alex are you sure about only Percy being  able to get around a 15" radius - I would've thoguht Thomas at least, could go on a 15" radius as well as Edward and James. But I could be totally wrong 

I'm just wondering, if any of the engines in the range cannot run on 15" radius track?

Talking about Duck and Donald & Douglas again in the recent news of their possibilty of being made 

The red coaches which are all extensively used by all of these engines would be a great rolling stock item to join them if they are (fingers-crossed) made. As with D & D being one tooling to make two engines, the red coaches would just require a modification of Annie & Clarabel - colour, roof, red brake coach would need the bits on the end etc. Making it an easier task for Bachmann to model and make 



As well they have been a regular since season 2 making them a well recognised item for fans out there, and if those engines weren't made the red coaches are still used by Percy, Edward, James and even Henry on the odd occasion making them useful for almost all of the engines in the range.

I agree with Chaz, about saying that the model is better than the HO one.

Look how much better the face is - it actually looks like Thomas.

Or maybe Amazon as well

True, and as said before Bachmann don't take much interest in the Railway Series Engines and other RS things.

Also Sparks I was going something about the paint trucks in my other post as well - and the cream and raspberry tankers weren't exactly the most expected items either

Well I might as well make wishlist (In order of preference):

Engines:
1. Duck
2. Donald & Douglas
3. Oliver
4. Boco

Rollingstock:
1. Old Coaches  -  (Composite & Brake)
2. Red Coaches  - (Composite & Brake)
3. Toad
4. TV Series, Normal Black Brakevan

It would be nice, but I don't think Bachmann would see it as a profitable thing to do (but you never know )

Mind you a similar product we could have is the Ffarquhar Quarry Trucks for Mavis and Toby or even Percy.

Talking about the red coaches again, which would be a great addition to the range - what about the Old Coaches from season one?
