What were the Toy Fair announcements if any? I am primarily interested in N scale but any announcements or pictures would be nice. I noticed the Thomas annoucement on the main page and the newletter with HO 2-8-0 being bumped down to standard line w/DCC.

Anything else?

Our announcements at Toy Fair are centered around our new starter sets and Thomas & Friends™ line. This year we added two new HO sets - The Great Northern "Empire Builder" set and a new McKinley Explorer set featuring newly tooled 89' Colorado Railcar full dome passenger cars. In N scale sets we announced 3 new sets - the Royal Blue (B&O/passenger), The Southern Belle (Southern/freight), and the Spirit of Christmas. In Large Scale we announced the Plainsman set (Union Pacific/freight). We've also announced three exciting new Spectrum "Digital/sound" sets featuring a DCC SOUND ON BOARD 2-8-0 and a Dynamis Digital Control system.

New Thomas& Friends™  items include Large Scale James the Red Engine, 4 new Large Scale freight cars, an HO Sodor lighthouse, HO Knapford Station building kit, HO Scale Bill & Ben , and HO Scale Donald & Douglas.

We announce our standard and Spectrum line model railroad products at the NMRA (National Model Railroad Association) national convention in July. These items appear as "New" in the following catalog. This year includes the large scale Forney, the HO Doodlebugs, etc....

No new On30 sets this year. We've given the On30 world it's first articulated steam locomotive, a Baldwin 4-6-0 and a great new caboose within the last 12 months - that's a lot of tooling for On30 fans!

Hello, Mr. Lynch:

Can you give us details on the new Dynamis you mentioned, above?

No new HO steam?  Especially no SMALL HO steam, like a decent 2-6-0 :'(
