Just had a dream that I was at a model train show and a Bachmann display was there and I saw a Bachmann Duck and Oliver, they had model series faces and Toad was out too as were the red coaches!  For large scale I saw Emily and Diesel there too!  It was really cool, I'm hoping they will be the ones out next now!

I'd still like to know where Emily is

Honestly I see Thomasfan247's list shown earlier filled with most likely's.  But to be fair, I can see why Simon says he can see Hiro coming out.  Hero of the rails was pretty successful and to my knowledge Hiro is pretty well recognized as a character.  I see it happening.

Just thought I'd post some predictions Please note that these items would not all be released in one year

HO Scale

Engines: Duck, 'Arry and Bert, Oliver, Rosie, and Whiff
Rolling Stock: Quarry Wagon w/Load, Plant Vans, Garbage Wagon w/Load, and Toad
Vehicles: Butch, Trevor, and Sir Topham Hatt's Car
Accessories: Lady Hatt figure, Farmer McColl's Barn, and Level Crossing

Large Scale

Engines: Toby and Edward
Rolling Stock: Henrietta, Brakevan, Ventilated Van, and Salt Van
Vehicles: Bertie and Harold
Accessories: Sir Topham Hatt figure and Conductor figure

You sir, need to work for Bachmann!

I forgot to add Oliver with Duck and Hiro, my bad.  

But I agree, classics first!   Murdoch would look amazin' by Bachmann!

Thomas is now 50 dollars? :O Whoa, talk about crazy!  I got my Gordon model for only a little more than that....

The way I see it, if Bachmann can make money off of making the models, there is no reason for them to stop them from making Gordon and Henry.  Besides in terms of marketable characters I see Gordon and Henry a lot more than Emily.  I'm sure we'll see both of them in the near future.

I'd say more but Sparks and Churchill8F summed it up pretty good.  PS - I do agree with Sparks about you making a fuss about this, no offense.  You're eventually going to get the Emily model of your dreams (since they're making her coaches), so now I think you can be happy for others who have hope for other characters in the range.

Oh and my predictions you might ask?  Well I can only predict engines  at the moment.
HO...
2012 - Duck Oliver and Hiro
2013 - Arry and Bert
2014 - Stanley and Whiff
2015 - Charlie and Rosie

Large scale...
2012 - Emily and Toby
2013 - Gordon and Henry
2014 - Year off, kinda like the one we're having now.
2015 - Edward (possibly someone else like Mavis or Diesel)

Glad to see someone sees sense!  Duck would be perfect for next year along with Oliver and Toad.  Something Bachmann should really consider for next year, methinks.
