The Everything Thomas Topic

[Awesometrain77]

The RWS seems to be coming with appeartly a new face for Thomas according to some sources which I have heard not 100 percent sure if these are correct or not .
Glad to see the tidmoth milk tanker is still in the range and was not replaced meanwhile we have seen the crate wagons leave .
The China clay wagon looks super cool I will 100% be getting this . The vans were somewhat of a shock because usually Bachman does not do commemorative rolling stock . But they look nice . The Troublsome van was very overdue in my openion but I am glad we finally have it. I have suggested this item as long as I have been on the Bachmann forms so it's cool this is happening .



No NG stuff which is expected they have such a backlog which is now starting to clear up we only have the gunpowder vans left

I am sure we will see the gondolas and the open coach in a Thomas Tuesday
It seems they are cycling through slate wagons wonder if some numbers will become expensive on the resale market . I could definitely see some troublesome ones happening soon .
Winston being retired in large scale was a shocker but I would not rule him out of happening in HO as we just got the red wagon in N scale which was retired in large scale . So maybe he has a chance idk . Speaking of LBSC Thomas is now in all three scales . Black James is in N scale . And the scrap wagon is in N scale non of the wagons with loads got announced but they probably don't wanna have yet another new tool for N scale Given the backlog .  Overall a good amount of items got announced Very glad we did not get something like a gold Thomas And was honestly better than I expected . Can't wait to get some of these items .

Turns out there was a Thomas Monday stream. It wasn't even announced on Bachmann's Facebook.

To sum it up, Doug Blaine went over the new catalog announcements. Unfortunately, he did not give updates on previously announced upcoming products that still don't have samples shown, like the Narrow Gauge Gunpowder Wagons or the N Scale Express Coaches, Diesel, or Paxton. He did have the samples of the Narrow Gauge Gondolas, but not the HO Scale Open Carriage. The 80th Anniversary set will only be made once, as it will be a limited edition, and there's still hope that Thomas can have a Railway Series face, but no guarantee.
