This about it because I don't wanna be accesseve and set unrealistic expectations

So I'll go first for what I expect from the feb 18th presentation.

HO/OO scale
A reveal of Daisy's physical model, plus a reveal of a new tooling and red express coaches reintroduction.  The new tooling is a bit up in the air but will be Stepney, Ryan, Stanley, or maybe BoCo (keyword Maybe).  I also feel that they might reintroduce salty but only time will tell.  I also think we will be getting some new rolling stock like toffee tanker or the explosives van, IDK just a a a piece of rolling stock that is in g scale but not HO scale.

Narrow Gauge
Like HO/OO, a reveal of Peter Sam's physical model, plus a new tooling, and some new rolling stock.  I think that Sir Handel is an almost guarantee pick at this point since he is the only one missing from 1-5.  For rolling stock, the troublesome slate trucks and the Green and Cream Coaches would be fitting.

N scale
I am not the person when it comes to other scales besides HO/OO so bear with me,
I think they would reveal, N scale James and the green express coaches and that's about it really.

Large Scale
Same deal like with HO/OO.  A full reveal of LS Diesel, a new tooling, and some rolling stock.  I think the new tooling would be either Paxton or Mavis.  The rolling stock would be the red branch line coaches and troublesome truck #5.

Longshots/wants
Here's where we get into my wants that I don't see happening but want regardless.

I'd want some new resin buildings like, great waterton station, great waterton pedestrian bridge, great waterton tower, the seaside station/tidmouth hault, and Farquhar sheds.

I think that some new accessories would be good like some snowplows for the other engines, name boards, etc.

So that's what I predict/want for the Feb 18th presentation.

The event actually takes place on the 18th. Official announcement below:

Regardless, I'm fairly excited it. We've been needing updates on certain products for a while now, and this event serves a good opportunity to make the forum active again after some time of frequent inactivity. Anyone who wants to reiterate their expectations before the event are welcome.

I just realized the screw up on the date of the event, but yes I am excited too!!

Alright bois, there is a Thomas specific Bachmann presentation with trainworld on February 16th at 6:00pm! This begs the question, is there going to be Bachmann Thomas stuff in the presentation on Wednesday...

I might be a little late on this but here's what I would want to be revealed this year

HO/OO engines
Stepney
Salty reintroduction

Rolling stock
Red express coaches reintroduction
Orange coaches
Explosives Vans
Scrap Trucks

Non-rail vehicles
Trevor
Bulgy

Resin buildings??
Great Waterton Station, pedestrian bridges, and water tower
Tidmouth hault/ the seaside station

Narrow gauge engine
Sir Handel

Narrow gauge rolling stock
Red Narrow Gauge coaches (with face)
Green and cream narrow gauge coaches
Troublesome slate trucks

N scale engines
Mavis
Toby
Edward?

N scale rolling stock
Idk red branch line coaches
Express coaches?
Troublesome trucks 3-5

Others
Snowplows (Donald and Douglas)

That's about it really.  It's more of a wish list than a prediction list...

I'm hoping to make a series soon when I finish my layout of Sodor in a few years, I even have a script in the works for one of the first episodes.

I don't know either an 0-6-0 or a 0-4-2 n scale chassis.

Yeah I think Stepney will probably be the next character due to his overwhelming popularity in the forums and in social media, so there's no doubt that Stepney will be the next HO model.

I hope they reintroduce salty back into the range. No particular reason I can think of yet but because if you have a dockside, it isn't complete without a sea-loving engine like salty.

And the recolor of James into his original livery would be great as well because we are already getting LBSC Thomas so it makes more sense to add one recolor that makes sense than having a recolor from a HIT Entertainment episode (I like the Busy Bee James, it's just that it should be released next year instead of this year).

For rolling stock, I don't know... ummm, a paint can flatbed reintroduction I guess because from what I've seen on eBay they go for over $200, so. Maybe old slow coach, but I'm getting into wishlist territory if I do see her being in the announcements. But for a realistic Guess a toffee tanker.

The narrow gauge engine prediction is the same as everyone else's Sir Handel is 100% guaranteed to happen.

That's all I can say for now.

So, I've been thinking about what scale the miniature railway engines would be and I would like to see other people's input on what a potential miniature railway engine's scale would be?
