There's been a lack of sets from Bachmann recently, everyone likes sets it's a great way to get the new stock and everything else included to expand your layout and collection, so I thought up some ideas hopfully Bachmann will acknowledge it.



  • Donald & Douglas freight train set.

    In the style of the season 6 episode "Twin trouble"

    D&D with TT3 a cattle wagon salt wagon flatbed Tar wagon and Breakvan

    Donald and Douglas Christmas set

    In the style of the season 2 episode "The Deputation"

    D&D with works unit(new stock) Christmas hats and snowploughs

    With Duck coming into the range.

    In the style of season 3

    Duck's branchline set

    Duck with the red branchline coaches(new stock).

I like it, and if Oliver is introduced with Toad, then I can see a "Toad Stands By" set with Oliver, S.C. Ruffey and Toad.

That would be cool. However, maybe we won't get any new HO Thomas sets for 2013. After all, we haven't had a new HO Thomas set in like 2 years maybe. But I could be wrong........ ::)
Bachmann never ceases to amaze me :)

I would like to see a mail train set with thomas,percy and harold,a flying kipper set,and a set with james,toby,tar,and elsbridge. All in HO SCALE.

LARGE SCALE

Up,Up,and Away set- Thomas, Percy, and a flatbed with a balloon.

Emily set- Just like the Ho Scale one.

My wishlist.

Oh may TTTE live in the world of the Awdry's.

I am always willing to help the best way I can. :)

They don't really do episode sets, but it is your wishlist!  :)

Ok.  There will be no sets with Donald AND Douglas.  They are $85 EACH!  I did some research, and if everything in said set was full price....

Donald---$85
Douglas--$85
TT3---$18
Cattle wagons are retired but would probably be $23.50
Tar Wagons  are retired but would probably be $25
Salt wagon---$26
Flatbed---$27
Brake van---$26

Loop of track big enough to accomodate that would be $43.50

and say they give you the controller and power pack for free, and say 15% of the entire packages RRP.

It would be $327.25  I am not trying to crush dreams here, but I am being a realist.

Enjoy your weekend!  Some CGI shots are coming soon on the project thread!

Plus, these aren't DCC, so having 2 powered locos in a set is a bit over kill... just my opinion.

Yes I know that Up,Up and Away is a bad episode, but that's my wildcard wish. Also, the other 2 would be profitable with them being based on classic eps ;D                                                                                                                               

And plus, would you rather have a Toby and the Whisting Woods set to haunt you?

;) ;)

Shawn's right. A set with two engines would be far too expensive.

The idea for a works coach is good, but the way I see it, there will be at most two sets this year..

.. one with an engine(Thomas, Percy, Toby, or maybe Diesel) and some stock(a open wagon, a closed wagon, a flat car, and/or that works unit coach) with a loop of track(maybe a siding?), and a Christmas or other holiday themed set with Thomas and repainted trucks. And a huge, out of scale figurine.

Yep.

shining time

how about this set
Thomas and the missing Christmas Tree

Christmas Thomas with snow plow
flatbed with Christmas tree
Works Unit Coach
Brake van
oval of track wit a siding
controller and power pack

P.S. if you have Donald and Douglas set is complete
long live the GWR, LNER, and the narrow gauge railways

Please, I don't want to start a fight. They are just my opinions.
