Bachmann Thomas for 2011 ideas

[ThomasFan247]

Definetly a prediction...   ...and yea, I can see D&D Pused back to 2013

That's highly doubtful. They were announced for 2010, so I can almost guarantee you they will be released this year.

It doesn't take THAT long to make a model.

I  hope you're right. We will just have to wait and see.

yes they have.

If it's after. My birthday is the 14th, so it will be a nice present seeing what's going to be released

could you tell me what will be realeased?

Im hoping for

HO...


TT #4 ( open wagon with a load of some sort)

a good load for it would be stones.

[BillingsRR]

for 2011 in the Large Scale line i could see

Emily
Emily's coaches
a van of some sort
and a few more pieces of rolling stock

I dont see Edward, Gorden, and Henry. Maybe Edward, but not Gorden and Henry. James is about a $300 engine. Gordon and Henry are about twice his size, being $600 engines, maybe even more. So they are out of the question I belive. Edward is a better candidate because he would be a similar cost to James. Emily is on the list because many little girls are hopeing for Emily, as well as some grown men. The grown ups like the "style and detail to the engine". I think she would be next because the girls need a toy aswell. Trains aren't just for boys. I have an interesting story about a woman who's father didn't let her play with trains because he thought they were for boys and boys alone. "But thats another story"

You all know about the removable coal load from the HO Coal Wagon, right? Maybe for a 2011 product, the coal load could be sold in packs of two or four. That way, customers wouldn't have to constantly buy the coal wagon for the coal load and they would have coal loads for the Troublesome Trucks. But a stone load would be nice, too.

Well, Gordon and Henry aren't a whole lot bigger. They're big, don't get me wrong, but $600 is a little bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of $400-$450. Maybe $500, but I doubt it.

It will be nice to see a couple of announcements of engine, rolling stock, and scenery - but I can understand that Thomas is only one of the many projects that Bachmann takes on, so we need to just be grateful with what we get - unless you want to work for Bachmann doing designs and engineering for free then by all means - create a model for all the trains! lol

lol, haha, but yea, we do need to be grateful, but that is why this is a WISHLIST, and not a "BACHMANN MAKE THIS NOW!!" thread (hint, hint  ) But, yea gratefulness!

Oh I would love to work for Bachmann to re- design Thomas,Percy & James. Oh & do the employees take their models they made home as souviniers or something?

I know that and Im sure he is doing his best there is no doubt in my mind Its just I find it a little wierd there are no pics. yet and its almost been a year. May I remind everyone we got pics of Bill and Ben two or three months after they were announced?

I've been watching the LS line for a while, and Henry and Gordon will be around $600. If you look at similar LS engines, that is their cost. Lets see a 4-6-0 is about $375, and James is I think $350. OK James is a 2-6-0, one less wheel. Gorden is a 4-6-2(?) or a 2-6-2(?) and is also twice the size of James. Think of Gordon like the K-27. he would be around that size, same with Henry. And that is an expensive engine. Now Henry and Gordon won't have the battery stuff installed, but the sizes and wheel configurations are almost the same.
