Duncan's prototype is actually called "Douglas", that's what I was referring to.

They probably never will, for reasons stated before, and we had a previous conversation about Henry's in a thread a few months ago, it's much the same principles with Peter Sam's funnel.

I think as Peter Sam has had his special funnel the most, Bachmann will release Peter Sam with his special funnel and not his original round funnel.

So when do the announcements usually occur? I'm guessing it's at some show?

^ Above 1 Reply - @Reply #329 By Titanic5972: The way I understand it, is that the announcements are announced at the Toy Fair.

[Titanic5972]

And when is the toy fair?

[Jacob Wilson]

^ Above 1 Reply - @Reply #331 By Titanic5972: This weekend, I think.

The toy fair runs from February 13 - 16 of this year (between this Saturday and this coming Tuesday).

[Titanic5972]

Great. I will keep an eye out

Bachmann should make Rosie period! If they won't... I will with 3D Printing Technology.

Yeah, I obviously threatened to 3D Print my own HO/00 Rosie.

I meant I will keep an eye out online. Living in New Zealand I can't exactly just pop into the fair lol

This for everybody to read now and / or to respond too: I am UK resident, so myself being at the Toy Fair is not going to happen, sadly, so if somebody could post on this Forum of what Bachmann are announcing in the Thomas & Friends range, please post it on the Forum as soon as you can.

I am really looking forward to the announcements. Thank your for co-operation, and in advanced if somebody could do this.

The announcements are usually posted by a moderator either the day before the Toy Fair or sometime during or after.  We might get announcements as early as tomorrow.
