Wondering if there would be any interest in the creation of a thread dedicated to mods made to your Bachmann engines-pictures, descriptions, etc?

Thoughts? Yay or nay?

I'd be up for that, I personally am considering getting some of the shapeways faces and maybe painting the coupling hooks black on the ones that aren't and maybe even adding scale chains to atleast the fronts and removing the couplers. I may not post photos but atleast it would be a talking point and maybe people can even get ideas or clarification on things they may want to do to their models.

He's not a Class 57xx. He is an imaginary talking train with a face. How realistic are they really ever going to be?

Ok fine, his basis is a 57xx. Happy now. And they should be slightly realistic considering the original stories were mostly based on actual events or events that could happen, just with the trains talking.

Not only that but they did say that the only reason we don't have it yet was they sent in the changes to the factory but by the time it arrived the factory had alread produced and shipped 2 years worth of James. So since that was back in 2015 I'd say it'd either be this year or next year. Unless James sales really declined over the past year or two.

It's fine mate, we all have our bad days, days where we're not always in total control. You apologized and that's what's important. Now let's get back on topic shall we? Let's not dwell on this matter any longer.

Griffin, you went completely out of line and it would appear that you've deleted your original post saying something along the lines of "People like this are what's ruining this thread" and then want to say you never said it. I don't mean to start drama but I couldn't sit here and see you essentially bully a member for posting what is obviously a wishlist. If you would've said "That doesn't belong on this thread, another might suit it better" then we wouldn't be having this discussion. Like Chaz said if anyone's ruining the thread it's you.

I think for next year we're probably going to get a tank engine or two twin engines, maybe like Connor and Caitlyn. It's possible but I wouldn't put my money on it.

Well i figured I might as well make an actual list this time around.


Ho:

Hiro
Stanley
Stephen
Ryan
Flatbeds
Flatbeds with load
Stone Truck
(And while I know it's basically impossible, this is just wishful thinking now)
Hank
Stepney
Neville


Narrow Guage:

Sir Handle
Peter Sam
Blue Narrow Guage Coaches
A brake van like Cora


Set Pieces and Accessories:

Another Station
Railroad Crossing Gate
That one building right by Cranky at the Docks
Jack
Alfie
Oliver (the Pack)


I know most of this is wishful thinking and that we definitely won't get all of it during 2018 but it's what I'd like to see.

I would love to see Hiro or Ryan and maybe Stanley as well as some flat cars.

All 4-4-0s (even Baldwin) was considered obsolete by about 1900. So that's be fine. The 2-6-0s were commonly used from 1860s to the 1920s, so you should be fine.

Video review of Bachmann Oliver:

In case people want to get a better look at him.
With comparisons to Duck and Toad.
It would appear that people should be getting their models now! That's exciting, can't wait for a more high quality review.

I wanted to know BEFORE I buy this.

Has anyone installed the sound module into Toby, James, or Emily yet, it says the sounds are installed on the chip. Also, how do you change the preloaded sounds? It says it's automatically set to Thomas but that others are available.

He looks pretty cool, they added cab (or whatever you call it) details and that's something bachmann doesn't do often. But he's so small, almost a bit too small, he seemed bigger compared to Donald and Thomas but it is Emily so maybe I'm just imagining things.

Can't wait for him to arrive on my doorstep. Now a real question, why isn't he available on the website, or anywhere...
