Another idea from me

"Edward's Day Out" Freight Set

"Have a great time with Edward the Blue Engine. Pick up the cattle from the farm, take the coal to the exchange yards and collect the oil from the docks."

Would contain:

*Edward
*Cattle Car
*Coal Car
*Oil Tanker
*Farmer McColl Figure
*Plasticville Barn (http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=659)
*Oval of track with one siding
*Controller & Power Supply

What do you guys think?

I think you should work for Bachmann! You have some great ideas.

I have one- Toby, Hennrietta, two of the faceless trucks, the Sodor Junction Station and Platform, Oval of Track, and Transformer. Don't have a name or discription for it. Maybe you could help you there Jack.

Guys not to burst your bubble but the sets are way to large. But I know its personal wishes so mine...
Toad Stands By: Oliver, Toad, and S.C. Ruffey.
Duck's Branchline: Duck with 2 Red Branchline coaches.(Brake and regular)
(Modified Flying Kipper): Henry(old school), 3 vans, and Brakevan.
I like the Spencer set.
Toby's Old Branchline: Toby, Henrietta, and 2 Troublesome Trucks.

I basically said the same and I called it Toby's Old Branchline.
But what if it was Toby, Henrietta, 2 troublesome trucks, and oval except you replace one of the curves with a switch and add another straight plus a one stall shed.

how about Edward's Branchline Train.

Edward needs your help to be right on time! Help Edward pick up passengers up and down his branchline.

• Edward
• 2 Coaches ( Clarabel with out name)
• Station ( possibly Wellsworth?)
• Oval of track, speed controller, and power supply

[TheJJ]

I think they should make accurately sized figures like Sir T. Hatt or the Conductor. In HO scale packs.

[BillingsRR]

The reason the figures are so large is so kids don't choke on them. That is why Sir Tophamm Hatt is so tall. You can't swallow him!

Another one is- Mavis, T1, T2, 2 faceless trucks, a brakevan, oval of track, and power pack. Something like "Mavis' Quarry Delivery".

There is also- Bill, Ben, 4 trucks, oval of track with a siding, and transformer.

"Edward Helps Out"- Edward, two coaches, oval of track, and transformer.

"Down By the Docks" Set- Salty, Vent. Van, T1, T2, oil tanker, Cranky, Oval of track, siding, and transformer.

"Percy and the Troublesome Trucks"- Percy, T1, T2, T3, oval of track, transformer. Basically the same Percy set, but with the newest truck.

dude, did you not read mine? still, at least we're both set on a good set idea for Edward.

[BillingsRR]

I know it is basiclly the same thing, but it has a little different approach to it. However, I do think an Edward set is needed.

Maybe a STH could be the size of a lego figure.

[BillingsRR]

Kids can still swallow him. That is why legos are for kids 7+. The Bachmann line aims at young kids and parents of young kids. Most parents won't want a small figure that their 2 year old can swallow while the parent runs trains.

The Bachmann trains are for 8+ 

[BillingsRR]

I think I had my first Bachmann loco when I was what, 4 or 5? Not sure. But I was young. Still have the parts to it.

[branmas]

DID I NEVER POST A SET IDEA!?

[Cheeky_ULP]

Doesn't really change the fact that the box says the sets should be for Ages 8+, in the Thomas range at least.
