? about TT #3

that would be great

[PerfectPercy]

I can really see this coming out:



My reason being that Bachmann is making more and more items from scratch nowadays, rather than pre-existing toolings.

Credit goes to SI3D I'm guessing. I wouldn't mind another wagon, but I'm more concerned as to what the face will look like.

I know it will turn out good. After they got their heads above water with the Thomas range, Bachmann hasn't had a flaw yet.

But heres the thing, even if it was a van dont you think we would had a pic. of it by now considering Bachmann would probably use a ven. van, same for a grey truck. It could be a hopper like Hector or a bolster wagon like in the Henry's forrest episode.

That isn't a vent van though; that's a narrow gauge van the TV series modelers used as a standard gauge van (same with the China Clay wagons). Strange eh?

is it really? ha, didnt know that

I understand where you are coming from but you could kind of say that about Donald and Douglas... it is really only one shell being produced (body and tender), but there are still no pics or dates on their release. They were even announced at the same time as Bill and Ben.

I also highly doubt it will be a bolster wagon. They never had faces... Wasn't sure why you would even consider that. There were no hoppers like Hector in any Thomas episode besides... well, Hector, and I think they would have announced "Hector" instead of Troublesome Truck #3. I am leaning towards a ventilated van or a gray truck again. I think it is taking longer because Bachmann is going for more accuracy with the TV series faces (from past judgement) and there are many truck faces to pick from. I would say there are at least 15 faces that were ever used on a common troublesome truck.

These are my thoughts and I chose to present them. 

[PasqualeCS96]

Then I guess bolster wagons would have to be a project.

Have the iHobby photos been released yet? I'm hoping they will be soon

Or an 8 ton goods van like this.

[PerfectPercy]

That is a possibility. I would like more closed vans. There are a lot of open wagons and it is time to give the vent van a companion.

So the vent van cant be friends with the cattle wagon or salt van.
