@Yorkshireman Stepney would also be on the list of classic engines left if Oliver was announced.

Bachmann Branchline in the States would be nice too...

I believe he meant in HO scale, is the HO version compatible with any other engines?

Yes I was soory about that, but if the engine were to have the support base or whatever that holds the plow on Thomas I believe it should work. I made plows for my D&D out of paper they don't look to bad actually.

Its a shame they didnt return after the movie like Lady and Diesel 10 did even it was only a few cameos. Very nice models and layout too.

Fantastic!

Any model train that is HO/00 will fit on any brand of HO/00. 

Marvelous, but which ones are which?

Nice!

@Stepney the 'Bluebell' Engine thanks for clearing that up, my mistake, sorry about that.

....He is making Splatter and Dodge. 

......Those faces are from Hornby Arry and Bert models , leading me to believe he was going to make them...

Looking good so far, but may I suggest using different faces for Arry and Bert? The hornby ones seem like they belong to Splatter and Dodge. Also, nice Paxton model!

Considering Hornby does have the toolings to do such a range and they haven't done it yet, I don't see Bachmann doing this in the near future.

I think Hornby can only make Thomas products for the UK. Bachmann have the contract for most other countries.

Personally, I think a 'Real Thomas' range would work well, especially as the new movie uses more realistic versions of the Thomas characters.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason we've only had 2 new Thomas items this year is because Bachmann might be designing a new range of realistic movie related products for next year?

Unlikely, I don't think Bachmann would release products based on just one movie, sorry 

Without the icecream picture, it would be a pretty nice looking vent. van 

The take along would be beter if it had a longer funnel, no magent, and more detail in the wheels.

Trevor would be nice, although the take-along model isn't horrible for now at least.
