HO James, Percy, and Emily are back in stock!

[TerencetheTractor525]

Great news! As a loyal Bachmann Thomas fan, I'm very happy to see how well Bachmann is doing with the Thomas line. Seeing engines constantly out of stock and then coming right back in stock, as well as the surprise announcement of Daisy, Peter Sam, and Troublesome Truck #6 back in July are perfect examples. Can't wait to see what February 2020 has in store too! Almost everyone is hoping to see an HO Stepney announced to celebrate the 75th Anniversary! Hopefully, it will work out .

Or Thomas and The Special Letter, the actual first time he left the island.

Yes, this project is still alive! I have just been really busy over the past few months, but I am finally making progress. I put more milliput on the rest of the places that needed it and I began to sand everything down.




I was also able to put the model in it's first coat of primer so that it would be easier to see if there are any other areas that needed to be sanded more. The top of the boiler still needs some, from where the raised stripes used to be, and there are a couple of places that need actual filler before I finish painting the model.


I have also decided that I would rather finish Thomas off as he appeared in Season 1 rather than 3, so I'll have to get new brake pipes. I am also going to try to get actual cosmetic British couplings and I am going to build more "fine-scale" stepladders. I hope to do a better face as well, because the first one I tried ended up with a few problems along the way. I am excited though, because the primer makes the model look as though it is further along than it did before!

Thomasfan (and a few others), You don't need to post every time someone posts and/or double/triple post. It gets really annoying when this happens, plus when the same thing is said over and over by the same few people. It just gets really repetitive. It is probably the main reason the original topic had to get deleted since it was taking up so much space. Like I always say when I say this, I am not a Mod and am not trying to be one. I know a lot of people agree with me. However, I am not trying to push you guys away from this forum. Please stay and have fun. But don't clog up the forum with the same discussion or talking points again and again and again.

That's ridiculous! They better be worth the price!

Does anyone on here know how to install a dcc decoder into some engines?

They might be Bachmann's catalogue/shop pricing. Most retailers sell Thomas products at prices that are about 30% lower than official listings, though Walthers is an exception since a majority their prices have been accurate to first-party options.

If Rusty's similar pricing is anything to go by, we might see them just barely make it under $100, but only time will tell as always.
