The Everything Thomas Topic

[TrainshockeylifE]

Not sure if anyone noticed but Walthers has daisy to be expected 1/31/20, the flatcars due 1/31/20 and the tanker due 1/31/20. Also they have the prices for the N scale items, $125 for Thomas, $125 for Percy, $26 each troublesome truck and $29 for Annie and $29 for clarabel. I'm sooooo excited for them to come out along with Peter Sam.

I highly doubt they will be coming that soon.

Although it's unlikely....maybe it will come out that soon. Since we have to wait till July for the new catalog and that we seemingly have more stuff coming out or at least being announced for the anniversary for July, Daisy or at least the rolling stock could be released very on this year.

I saw on Walthers too when I purchased my narrow gauge coaches and I doubted we'll get them.

Wasn't there going to be more information on them in February?.

Since we have to wait till July for the new catalog

The new catalog should still come out in February. Even if there are no new Thomas announcements, Bachmann has all of their regular lines and scales that they could announce stuff for.

Oh yeah. Sorry should've made that more clear. The catalog will still happen, just no new Thomas stuff. Granted we could still get pictures of Daisy in that but I guess we'll just have to see.

Doug confirmed with me earlier that they will be getting new Thomas announcements this year at Toy Fair and I mentioned this in another thread last night so I don't know why you guys are still talking about that rumor.

Hey, can anyone tell me what Edward's wheel diameter (without flanges) is in mm? If not, could you say if the wheels are bigger or smaller than Thomas'?

A nice look at some updates of the new UK Bachmann Thomas with some interesting revisions such as thicker buffers, coupler, lampirons and different eyebrows.  Nice to see Percy too.  Hopefully we get a better look at the other UK models soon.

And to add icing to the cake, DCC sockets too!  Though admittedly that's really the only thing that I'm actually interested in with these new revisions, do I can't say I'm really won over by the other revisions on the models too.

I hope the DCC upgrade will be applied to the US versions too and hopefully will be announced at Toy Fair.

First look at the box for the Thomas starter set coming out in the UK.  Check Bachmann's UK website if you want to see this as well as the rest of the ranges future offerings for the fall 2020.

Can I just say I LOVE this box design- so crisp and clean. Someone in Bachmann's graphic design department deserves a raise.
