PRRThomas11

It would be cool to have the Thomas people in HO size instead of oversized.
PRRThomas11- "The Standard Railfan of the World"

An easy one would be Wilbert:



The moulding exists in the UK Junior range, and uses the Thomas chassis.

One of these for E-Z Track, as it is more british:


The Chaz Storm

A coal box does sound like a good idea Jack. ;)

Also as much as I would like to see Wilbert be done by Bachmann and how easy it would be to make, I don't really see it happening for these two reasons:

1.  Bachmann mainly focuses on TV Series models then RWS.

2.  Even if they did focus more on RWS, he wouldn't be as successful of a model because Wilbert isn't really noticed so much in the US.

But then again I think at this point we might as well just wait and see. ;)

It'd be the same story as Wooden Railway Wilbert in the US. I have it, and know who he is.  :P

Of course us older fans know about Wilbert, I was talking about the younger fans of Thomas who aren't old enough to be on forums and not to mention don't have the wooden or Ertl Wilbert. ;) 

The Chaz Storm

Same here, plus the Bach-man is good at surprising us, and as I have said we might never know when something like that will happen. ;)

By the way,only the front van of The Flying Kipper(the one that looks like the
mail vans) had 8 wheels.The rest were shorter and 4-wheeled.I just checked.
Now,a Flying Kipper set would have to be a big one.It'd have to include not
just Henry and The Flying Kipper,but the siding and the other train(no engine
needed,you never did see whose train it was).

I’m all for Donald and Douglas, and probably Devious Diesel too. Also, some other suggestions:
Bill/Ben
Harvey
Oliver
Toad
Stepheny (or however you spell his name)
More rolling stock (maybe with removable loads)
Breakdown Crane
Duck
Old Coach (From the Cranky Bugs video/DVD)
and Diesel 10 (claw opens/closes when he moves)
Oh, and maybe interchangeable faces like mad, worried, sad, and stuff like that

Maybe (if it's not to much trubble) when bachmann comes out with Harvey, and Disiel 10, you could have Pitchy on Disiel 10, and Harrvey's carn arm both be remot controled ;)

Exactly. :P There was when Henry crashed during the first time, when Duck collided with a van at the back of the train when its lamp fell off, and then when James was able to take The Flying Kipper while Henry was away.
what was that story called?
