Our prayers have been answered!!! Thank you so much!

Wow. First time I've been able to take something out of my signature in years.

Only a few left.

[Chaz]

I...... I am absolutely speechless right now.

And I will happily eat my own words on the lack of a new toolings happening anytime soon.  I am thrilled we are getting Daisy as well as Peter Sam, who happens to be my favorite Narrow gauge engine.  Not a big fan of the rolling stock choices, but all things considered the pros outweigh the cons and I am happy to see two of the most popular requests being followed up on.

Very exciting news indeed, thank you Bachmann!

[Sodor Engineer]

WOW can't wait for them to be for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'M SO HAPPY I'M JUMPING UP AND DOWN!!!!!!!

Right from the NMRA pdf

Daisy and Ryan were the only characters I really wanted Bachmann to make, I'm so happy one of them is finally in production. I'm really excited for next year gosh

[Griffin (TheBlueSnowplow)]

This is absolutely surreal. After years of waiting, we've finally got the announcements that the fans wanted. Bachmann, this is truly spectacular- and we didn't even have to wait till February! You guys have outdone yourselves, and earned back a customer; I will absolutely be purchasing Daisy and Peter Sam. This is spectacular.

[MeganekkoFury1126]

I'm elated at these announcements.

Finally, after getting very much ignored since her return in Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure and season 20 onward, Daisy will at last have some new merchandise! I'm sure she'll be a sell out. Now all we need is Ryan to go with her...

Peter Sam, I sort of expected, but nonetheless is great to see. Coming behind Duncan and Rusty, he's my favorite of the Skarloey Railway, and if Skarloey and Rheneas are examples to follow, he'll be another winner.

The rolling stock I can give or take, but the return of the short flatbed design is welcome, much like the return of the bogied flatbed with logs earlier.

WOW! Thiese announcements are indeed a welcome surprise. Well done Bachmann. Will be getting Daisy, Peter Sam, troublesome truck 6 and the conflats with crates.

[Streak]

I'm so shocked and excited by these new announcements! Can't wait for Daisy and Peter Sam! The rolling stock is kinda eh but the Troublesome Tanker could be good and it's nice to see the plank wagon return.

I'm wondering what the announcements in February of 2020 are gonna be, if they're gonna do any at all.

[TTL]

Now just to wait and see how much work I'll need to do to Peter Sam to get him in RWS shape 😜

[Falcon the 2nd]

I'm proud of the Bachmann team for acknowledging their fans' wishes once again! These announcements prove that long-term persistence can pay off with requesting, at least as far as model trains go.

I most certainly cannot wait to see how Daisy and Peter Sam look, and I hope they'll be a hit among fans after years of waiting. With these two engines, a new N Scale line and UK availability in mind, 2020 is shaping up to be a delightful year for Bachmann's Thomas lineup so far.

[TerencetheTractor525]

Am I dreaming right now?!?!?!?!?! This is beyond amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will definitely be getting all of these new products! Thank you very much, Bachmann! Thank you very much!

[Large Scale Champion]

Congratulations Bachmann, BUT please don't forget large scale 😢

[Falcon the 2nd]

Congratulations Bachmann, BUT please don't forget large scale 😢

There's always hope for this coming February. Personally, I'd be down for seeing Mavis announced in Large Scale even though a new character hasn't seemed likely for a while. But since the team has been able to defy fans' expectations by integrating an eye mechanism for Daisy, acknowledging Large Scale via characters like Mavis feels plausible. As long as requesting is maintained in that category, she may eventually be confirmed.
