The Everything Thomas Topic

[RailsByRick]

Just got my shipping notification from TrainWorld for my Talyllyn pre-order. They seem to have shipped to retailers before going up on Bachmann's own web store. Really hoping the new N Scale Thomas items are here soon. The November 16th release date that keeps being thrown around is most likely a placeholder.

So Thomas  Tuesday is prob not gonna happen as they have a Piko stream and a Lionel Christmas stream after that.
 we got to see some samples of the slate wagons which I assume was what they were gonna show off that stream they look nice . Maybe we will get a event in December or later this month .

The stream is on Thursday, they already confirmed a stream via their twitter, and Christian clarified it will be this Thursday because of the PECO stream. Weirdly no Thomas Tuesday facebook post, when the streams are on Thursdays do they usually skip posting on there? I don't actually recall so I logged in to ask

I'm unsure actually. The 16th is the date they set for all the items that are coming in the air drop shipment. But I don't recall if that date was already in place or not, do you happen to know? I've been using it as a reference point but if it's a prexisting placeholder I don't want to be spreading misinfo to other people. I thought it was a recent addition but has just occurred to me I'm not 100% sure. They'll most likely clarify on stream in 2 days

If I remember correctly, Doug said in the last stream that we should expect the airdrop shipment items in early November. It is now about mid-November and no update. TrainWorld was most likely given the "early November" ETA and changed their "expected release date" to November 16th to add a buffer in case of delay- which may very likely extend past the 16th.

TrainWorld's "expected release date" is nothing to go by considering the N Scale Paxton is listed as "expected December 31, 2024" and not even a sample has been shown yet.

Either way, I hope there is some major clarification on Thursday's stream and hope the wait isn't too much longer.
