My Daughter is excited by the Ice Cream Van but I'm looking forward to the Explosives Van.
This is a welcome addition and the choice of doing the GW Van gives hope for Duck, Oliver or even Toad.
Really hoping for another loco next year.

Fantastic Inclusion in the June Newsletter is that 98015 Ice Cream Wagon is released!
This is the first wagon in the Box Wagon mold and a welcome addition to the fleet..
Now it's in the US I wonder how long before it appears in the UK?

This on the Ashburton Railway is a great example of custom building, however I wouldn't risk the red coaches myself, as they are a hopefully obvious choice for Large Scale by Bachmann (Hopefully).

Here on Ruby's Railway having completed all available large scale offerings, whilst we wait, the temptation for custom coaches draws us in yet again...
Coaches for James would be a nice obvious choice..

Easy 4 Comp

Trickier 5 Comp like in "James and the Coaches"
and now an interesting addition...

Toby's Museum Coach from "Toby Feels Left Out
Keen to know others thoughts, we currently have a spare Annie & Clarabel and Set of Emily's Coaches for kit bashing but I'm keen to add value. We've considered the Old Coaches as well and I'm also musing weather to create a version of the Works Unit.

I think you'll find this amazingly useful:

great bit of research work.

He's Here!

Guys please help it's been so long since I've had the need and I know it was through a 3rd party site but how do you put photos into your posts?

Just had a surprise... Found out that there is a 4th figure in the range... It's an exclusive conductor/guard in the Salty HO set! So bored of waiting for new product we've bagged the set ;-). It's the little things sometimes... But a welcome addition to our collection.

Fantastic layout "lgbmarklintrein", some good adaptions from others... but has anyone really built something new from scratch?

the other question...

have many of you customised any Large Scale Thomas?

This topic is for the discussion of Large Scale Thomas Only! Please don't hijack chats with petty childish comments/arguements, last time 2 years of hot topic chats were deleted because of a rogue user...

to kick start conversation, a couple of questions

How Large are your collections?
What would you like to see?
Would you purchase buildings if they were made?

Guys as an aside I truly recommend taking a look at this Ant-Man trailer, the Bachmann Thomas HO cameo at the end is hilarious!

I think Bachmann have really missed a trick by not including an image of the brake-end image.

Thankyou! All is now well
