You are correct, I have been on the Bachmann UK site & I cannot get itmes sent to the US  They didn't have what I wanted either. No worries there are other sources out there & the internet is a great place to search. I spent about 1 hour until I found the sight (link previously posted) that has Toad & several other itmes I am interested in. NOW THE KICKER, the US $ is at an all time LOW therefore the cost is going to be great BUT I want them so......
Thanks again to all

  SCORE!! I found Toad here www.trainsontime.co.uk he will be on the way to the US shortly!! 
Thanks to all who helped me find this coach.

  Thanks for the link.  This is exactly what I am looking for!! Now I need them to be in stock & not sold out 
Thanks again!!
I am on eBay several times a day. You are correct, just wait a few days and one will appear on eBay 
Thanks again

Stainer Jack  been there & none are listed  do you have a source / hobby center local that has them?? 

  Thanks gets however I not having luck finding this on eBay (US version). If you know of anyone who would list one on the US version of eBay I would greatly be interested OR pm me and maybe work something out??
Thanks again to all for this help.

  I am looking for Toad in HO - OO scale.  I was on eBay just the other week and one was there but now it is GONE!! 
Anyone have one for sale? Any more out there in this wonderful world of Thomas?
Thanks in advance for your help 

Thanks much
I thought so but I wanted to be sure!!
That would be stupid for Hornby & Bachmann not to coincide with each other.
Thanks again

This might appear to be a REAL STUPID question but I have to ask it... I was looking at purchasing Thomas Engines on eBay from the UK. I was told the UK Thomas Trains run off of 12Volt DC & the train would not operate with standard US transformer.....
I am confused, can anyone help with this??

Hi Bach Man
I have been reading the strings and viewing the UK Bachman engines. It appears to me that Bachmann has the ability to release most ANY Thomas engine providing Bachmann is willing to step up and "redesign" a few EXISTING stock engines that are currently available in the UK market place. The finesse required to take a UK engine & make it a Thomas charachter doesn't appear all that difficult. Most of the inner works are already there!! I am waiting on Mavis to be released, I am sure we all are HOWEVER if the wait is much longer I will build one of my own. The gentleman who made Salty, GREAT job and thanks to all for the info on how Salty can be built!! I think more & more sctach building is going to take place thus intrest in mass produced product might be limited.
Just a though from a newbe to Thomas
