If you look at what they've already come out with and what they just announced, I'm hoping for the following:

HO:
Stepney
Flat truck with load (other than logs)
A new tanker with chocolate? (Or something along those lines.)
Red Express Composite Coach/Brake Coach
Rereleasing Salty

Narrow Gauge:
Sir Handle
Brake Van
Open air coach
Dynamite truck

N Scale:
Gordon
Henry
Express coaches
Troublesome truck 3

Large Scale:
Red Coaches
Gordon
Cattle Wagon

I'll most definitely be the third.

The classic characters, and RWS characters for that matter, have always been first on my list to own from any retailer. Stepney would be a beautiful model and I agree that he would most likely be less expensive to make than Ryan. Seeing as Hornby had made Stepney, Bachmann should take this route as well and make a TV series accurate version of him for us "older" fans. Ryan would make a great model too but I definitely am hoping for Bachmann to consider the classics first and foremost with their plans to release Daisy.
