So the old one is gone time to start a new one . This is for suggestions for new products in the Thomas line line up for any scale as long as Bachmann is making it

So these two were cancelled in 2005 not much is know other then the fact that rickety was retired in the wooden railway line the same year.

Was there any reason for their cancellation? Is there any prototypes that can be shared from years ago?

This is for the retired items over the years or for what items you may think will be retired .

Please I know Kato could help out please Bachmann do it you have told Kato/peco products under the Thomas line before please bring Duke to America

As we know Doug is retiring . We know we  will have a figure of him in Thomas line as an Easter egg . I win that contest giveaway with the figure if not I have the figure pack to look forward to .But this guy has impacted Bachmann and Thomas in general please use this thread to recognize the VP of license products.

So in a recent Thomas Tuesday it was said if the demand was there they would consider giving the thomas in the 80th set a exclusive new face

Now this face would be a nice piece to include and I could see the sales for this set skyrocketing out of the roof on the resale market, this set would go for tons and just the Thomas alone would be at least $100 by him self . There was a lot of people that wanted this to happen myself included.

They could also reissue RWS thomas from this set by himself for the 85th in 2030.

Please reply or like this post for the demand of RWS Thomas face . Other companies have made RWS Thomas and have given him exclusive faces .

So many items have been discontinued over the years, and so many could be brought back This is a thread for ideas of how items could be brought back.

With a lot of engines narrow and standard now when are they going to make the Aresdale railway . They don't have Z scale track but they could make it here is my idea .
So in the season 24 episode the little railway show duck Oliver and Ryan take Mike Rex and Bert to ulfstead castle in well wagons .
So the well wagon is something I would love to see Bachmann bring back here is how they can do it with the Aresdale  railway .
Have the engine and the tender be detachable from the wagon and have a track of them to sit on . That would also be removal . The track would be z scale and the engine would be able to freewheel


Rex with tender on well wagon
Mike with tender on well wagon
Bert with tender on well wagon
How would you do them be realistic I doubt Bachmann would start making z scale for these three

How would you update the likes of Thomas, Percy ,etc to fit in with more recent releases detail level .
