i would love little items for the HO scale layouts. Buildings can be expensive but detail parts sound wonderful.

Agreed. At the very least, UK styled buffers and signals would be good. I doubt buildings would be made, though snap-fit kits would probably be the best route if they did, and if we got some, I'd like to see Ffarquhar station as one.

I'd imagine if Bachmann were to produce UK buffer stops, they'd be attached to a section of EZ Track like their existing track bumpers are. As long as they're removable to use on standard track, I'll be happy.

As for signals, I think it'd be a good idea if Bachmann started with a single one and a junction signal (two separate signals for two tracks on the same post). I would certainly be happy with those to start with. They could later expand with distant signals and other variations. These would also appeal to British Railway modelers that live in the US- not only Thomas fans.

I really think Railway infrastructure is a good way to go . Especially now that we have the human figures . As for some new buildings that would either be a snap together or plastic or whatever. I suggest a coal hopper fuel depot. Possibly a carriage shed or Sodor shipping co building . Maybe some cargo just for the background like some barrels. Or what about a boat or more cranes .
But those are just kind of my ideas I don't know if all of them would be feasible if any of them could be . I think when it comes in terms to buildings they could just bring back what they had at one point . Maybe make them all universally fit on one platform type that you sell separately to reduce cost.

I think set of products that need to be made are loads that can be purchased without having to be from a piece of rolling stock. Here some suggestions for some load packs that Bachmann could release.

For 7 Plank Wagons:
Ore Loads (Like the ones from that Thomas set)
Gravel Loads (They would be a repaint of the coal load)
Crates covered with a tarpaulins
Rock Loads
Scrap Loads (So they can be used for the Sodor Scrap Wagon)
Uncovered crate loads
Milk Churns
Hay with Tarpaulins
Rubbish Loads
Parcel Loads

For 5 Plank Wagons:

Coal Loads along with the other loads I suggested for the 7 Plank Wagons, but they would all have to new sculpts since the 5 Plank Wagon tooling like the one used for Troublesome Truck 4 is skinnier than the 7 Plank Wagon tooling

For the Flatbed:

Steel Girders
The Chinese Dragon
Crates
Pipes
Paint Drums (That would be a good way to reintroduce the loads)

I found the model brands of Trevor the traction engine the brand is ERTL the 1st design of Trevor in his green paint and the 2nd design in his scrap paint from the episode Saved From Scrap BoCo the metropolitan vicar's diesel-electric type 2 is in his model design ERTL there was discussion about releasing him back in 2013 I remember looking at the posts and comments about him because he was in the original series 2 1986 episode Saved From Scrap all the way through to series 6 2002 CGI I remember buying the brand when I was a kid I still have the brand ERTL and I thought maybe this could be something interesting to mark 40 years next year since series 2 of Thomas and Friends came out on television however if you like the brand as well as the character and would like to see Bachmann release both models of Trevor in HO scale in the future in please let me know thanks

Hey Jake86, that sounds great,
