No.. the first post i made before posting the pics clearly states that Splatter and Dodge are being produced using the Bachmann Diesels, not 'Arry and Bert.

I did toy with the idea of doing them, but, i actually feel that Splatter and Dodge are to unknown to younger fans, despite them being in a one off 'movie' they never really had any sort of background built about them, apart from being a pair of silly side-kicks to a villainous Diesel.

So, they are models i am doing, because i feel they need some background about them covered!

@Stepney the 'Bluebell' Engine thanks for clearing that up, my mistake, sorry about that.

Hey don't worry about it.

'Arry and Bert i am gonna leave and wait to see if Bachmann makes them, who knows, they could very well be around the corner or being considered by Bachmann for future release, since they have the correct molds now to make them. ^^

I hope they will be considered for the range, but if not, then i will look at making my own versions of them.

But i wanna get Splatter and Dodge sorted first.

they seem to be coming along pretty good! keep up the great work!

Arry and Bert would be nice to have. after all they just need to change the face, paintwork, take off the ladders and badda bing two new products.

Are you going to use Splatter and Dodge's faces on the Bachmann Diesel models when you make them? Or will they have the same face, but with some little edits?

Also, will they keep the ladders around their faces or will they be taken off?
