Honestly I would like to see stepney, but Ryan personally makes more sense to me. I don’t think that bachmann would make any characters that aren’t relevant in the show anymore. Because once you look at the lineup, all the characters bachmann has released over the years are still relevant in the show. (The only possible exception would be BoCo because they could just use Daisy’s chassis). But characters like Stepney, Arther, or Murdoch are nostalgic but a bit more obscure. The statement that “fans want him” isn’t a good enough reason in my books. But hey, I’d love to be wrong.

Just decided to join the Bachmann forums. I’ll be talking about things that bachmann should re-release. To start off, the tar tanker because it’s very iconic from James in A Mess. Salty as he is very relevant in the show and in not even sure why he was discontinued in the first place. The Old version of the mail car as well, because while I don’t mind the CGI versions, the ones that have “SODOR MAIL” written on them is more nostalgic to me personally. I feel like these in my opinion are the bare necessities for me. Unlike the water tanker or the lobster car. (Like, seriously who owns those?) Anything that I missed?
