Re: Lubricating, I use 101 Super Lubricating Oil, with just a tad on each of the gears. Works a treat. Not sure if it's US available though.

Re: Cleaning, I rub a fibreglass brush on each of the wheels. For track cleaning, I use a track rubber.

fighter4luv, if you haven't used them for a while, I recommend giving the wheels and track a clean, and a bit of lube on the gears.

JJ96, Percy stopping randomly. Is your track secured to a baseboard? If not, it's because the track surface is not even. James derailing. How fast do you run him? And which track brand is used? Toby running slowly could be down to either unclean wheels, gears needing cleaning, or a lack of weight. For the latter, use some Liquid Lead, or just plain lead.

Hope this helps you guys! 

Go where?

No, it didn't. The way I (and many others) see it, your petition was a pure coincidence.  Plus, this petition this year will make no use: they've probably known what they're releasing this year since about August 2010!  You don't think they'll change their mind because of one person's YouTube video, do you? One of their models, at least, is probably in production now. Remember how we saw Bill and Ben straight away, pretty much?

*Sigh*

If Duck and Oliver are made, it's coincidence. Your video has no influence this year, dude...

It's false. YouTube is the rumour mill.

2011? We haven't even got to see pictures from 2010 yet.

First, learn to spell. 

Secondly, he was not being smart about anything. He didn't mention spell-check, or anything. If you haven't lost all your hair already, don't lose more. 

This is a Peco one.

There's no plans for anything like that from Bachmann at the moment. However, Hornby in the UK produce the item you want. I don't know whether you'd be able to get it in the US though.

Good God guys. 

Aren't the prices low enough already? In the UK they cost about £30 each! That's pee water for a model engine!

This is pathetic.

The Bach-man won't lower prices for you, especially during a recession

What's that got to do with Tidmouth Sheds? Nothing. Please don't spam. That's why I don't come on here much. Because every topic has gone off it at some point. BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE!

I think Zelda might be using a play on words there. No Where= original meaning of NWR. Geddit?

I'd be hoping for Oliver.

Doubt if this will help much, but I have a map of The Rev. W Awdry's Tidmouth-Knapford model railway, if you like.

Nice!

Good choices. I would have:
The Deputation Set-Donald and Douglas with snowploughs and works unit coach(Bachy should make one!)
Too Hot for Thomas-Thomas, rasberry syrup tanker, ventilated van and breakvan
Henry and the Wishing Tree- Henry, 3 red express coaches(please bring them back!) and TFC figure.
Can't think of any more...
