The little things make a difference. Add a truck i repainted to look different.

There is certainly a tech somewhere in the UK who can reassemble it for you. A Google search will probably turn something up.

Scottsman is gonna be shown off any month now.

I am hoping Bachmann will fix Gordon's side rods

I'd also like to see them use Spencer's tender instead of making a new mold but I understand this not going to happen .


I also really hope they give this $230 product a cab interior
It does not have to be painted but it was a real disappointment when Rebecca lacked that .

I'd also like this to have the thinner couplings that the open coach had

I realized this a little bit to big to be considered small
My updated list is
HO scale
Whiff
Rainbow garbage wagon
NW cattle van

NG
Happy red narrow gauge coach
Skarloey's passenger run set - Skarloey , angery red coach , red brake van , loop of track

Christmas g scale Thomas
N scale Edward


Anyway I think if we see a new large engine it should be Rosie as we can get two different products out of it . And she is going to become a main character in the new show .
 

Tbh Henry won't be out for a while

If feel Sidney and mainland diesel will prob be out by that point .

If anything I'd say this time next year or later is when I expect Henry .

Anyway aside from Henry and Scotsman I'd like to see updates on large scale rolling stock. And the new brakevan for HO scale .

Hoping for a sample on that brakevan before the end of the year .

I second all of these ideas. We especially need Henrietta to go along with Toby. I think Rosie would be another feasible small Large Scale loco, and best of all, she's had two liveries. An easy recolor to help spread the costs of a new tooling.

Here at Ruby's Railway, despite her leaving school yesterday ( where's all the time gone) we still hope for more large scale. Dreams of Duck, Edward and Oliver do not dwindle, neither do Henrietta and Toad. Ever hoping.....

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reinstall the valve gear into the cylinders? I took the loco apart to give it a good clean as It was running erratically after being stored for 3 years, and the valve gear came out of the cylinders, and I am unable to reassemble it. Any suggestions will be appreciated, as I'm in the UK and I don't really want to send it to the US for repair as it will likely be very costly.

Added some static grass on 2 different roads, as well as finished a could have areas with posts. Added shrubs and a bench, and some more people.

Looking at these ideas I do agree this year will be a little bit smaller compared to next year which I assume is gonna be big for
The 25th .

However that does not mean we won't get cool stuff .
It's been a while since we got any narrow gauge announcements. And I think n scale Edward is overdue. And large scale Christmas Thomas was already leaked .
If it's gonna be a quiet year then I feel like N scale will prob only see N scale Edward and large scale will only see Christmas Thomas . However maybe narrow gauge could get something innovative .

I love the coach with faces idea

Quote from: Chaz on June 15, 2026, 01:36:20 AMNarrow gauge rolling stock:
4-Plank wagons
Skarloey Railway carriage - blue
Skarloey Railway carriage - red
Tan brake van

"But Chaz, we already have blue and red narrow gauge carriages!"

We do, but hear me out...




I personally think it would be a very smart idea for Bachmann to look into adding more narrow gauge coaches but this time, adding faces to them. This seems like such an easy win-win for everyone involved. Bachmann would get a lot of sales on these from the older audience with only adding a faceplate to their blue carriage and repainting the red carriage in classic colors with a new faceplate.  Fans win because that's more classic rolling stock that would be appealing for both nostalgic and younger audiences who like the different facial expressions.  If Bachmann went ahead with the spiteful brake fan and something as niche as the D fusit gunpowder van, I can totally see them going this exact same route for narrow gauge coach repaints.  I'm surprised no one else has brought this up or at least hasn't recently.

Personally I think we could get a lot of
Different faces for them but idk how that will work for 6 different SKUS for a face change.

Realistically they could just do the red one since we don't have that in the line.
And release the red coach again  in a set with a exclusive face maybe a mad version .

As for HO scale I think whiff would be pretty good . He has been suggested for a long time and I think he could sell well .

As for some rolling stock I think we need variants rebuilt scruffy would be very cool . I'd also like to see maybe another RWS wagon we do need so more cattle vans so . 
A wagon from the CGI era would be fitting it they do the other two .
So to fit in with Whiff a garbage wagon or wagon that whiff might pull . I think the rainbow truck from season 18 would be perfect and would sell well

So the ideal 2026 NMRA would be
HO scale
Whiff
Rebuilt SC Ruffy
NW cattle van
Rainbow wagon with garbage load
Narrow gauge
Happy red passenger coach
Skarloey passenger run set - with Skarloey annoyed passenger coach and red brakevan
Large scale
Christmas Thomas
N scale
Edward
