I'd love to see oliver, arthur, stanley or fergus.

Realistically, only oliver or stanley are likely.

I don't think they'll ever make fergus, a one off character who would be really hard to make.

Oliver would make sense, but I've already gotten the "red menace" version, so I don't really care.

I'd love to see stanley, and they could re-use the wheelset of thomas.

thanks guys, I had oiled the motor, but when i opened it up I discovered that it had managed to get a clump of synthetic tree in it (dunno how that happened, better have some frank words with my little brother )
But thanks for the suggestions, wouldn't have discovered the problem if not for your advice

Toby
He just looks great and mine runs really well

Emily is a close second, although it has terrible haulage and mine is on the fritz, it's a masterpiece

Gordon is just great, siderods are abit big though

henry same as above

thomas was great and looked good, but unfortunatly mine's motor burned out after nearly eight years service

percy was okay i guess but i hate how he has no front coupling

james, i hate you, i hate you so very, very much

salty is great, period

really want to get edward, mavis, bill, ben, donald, douglas and diesel

Well, I've just got my bachmann emily out of storage and discovered it will not run.
While it does stop and start alot and "twitches" every now and again, a can not get it to run around a simple oval of track (my track is hornby standard trainset track) I have had no problem with it before,   
advice would be appreciated
