Kinda reading a bit much into it. I mean at the end of the day ya Thomas not Game Of Thrones. Punishments aren't that severe. And no they really didn't. Mavis did but Thomas didn't. Even Mavis he forgave and let work at the docks. I love that bad thing can happen to the engines again. Shows what real life is like. Which is what made the show so great before.

Ugh........... all I'll say.

Ringo and Carlin are the top for me, maybe with Carlin a shade more skillful.
Then Alec Baldwin growing up when series 5 was produced I grew accustomed to his voice though it's not my favorite.
Angelis, first heard him on New Friends For Thomas, loved the fact that he was british though I felt he did a lot of the same.
Moraghan, really liking his style, his voice sounds a lot like Angelis in my opinion.
Brosnan, Short but sweet stint, liked him but a bit shall we say "corny" at times.
Brandon, In my opinion the weakest of the lot but I still hold a sweet spot for a lot of his voices. Diesel especially. It is Thomas of course, hard to dislike.

I hope that if BACHMANN expands to N they will do the narrow gauge.

haha kind of funny, I like it. Believe it or not facial expression sold me, paint scheme can always change and I love the design of the wagon itself. Sometimes I wonder where all the hate comes from.

For 2015 I have high hopes for the Thomas range, the things older fans of the show want the most are usually the same, and it's getting to be a smaller and smaller list since BACHMANN is making them 

So here is my first early prediction.

HO

Oliver: Same reasons as always, most wanted, popular character, last missing engine in the lineup.

Stepney: This would be a great looking BACHMANN model. If he's reintroduced to the show I feel he would be a cert.

Toad

Resin

Dryaw Station: If they have access to HORNBY's tooling this one is for sure.
Sodor Shipping Building
Signal Box 2 Probably HORNBY'S second tooling style.
Then BACHAMNN will probably surprise us with something else. That's the way I see it for a while two previously released buildings and two new style ones.

Look. We have to acknowledge that the reason the express coaches were discontinued is a combination of price inflation and lack of interest. How ever much you and other members of this forum may want them back you have to see how that's simply not enough of a reason for BACHMANN to bring them back. Though hard to find they can be found on eBay with a bit of paitence, listings come up often. Maybe they will come back and maybe they won't, but understand it may not be as big of an issue to others as it is to you.

They will probably be a custom mold based on the models prototype, just like every other piece of merchandise.

There's really no "jumping the gun" anyone can create whatever thread they want, and in a wish list you could always post whatever you wanted. I don't know why all of a sudden it's seems you need permission.

THE RED COACHES!!!! Can't tell you how happy I am. (Personally planning on getting 5 regular and three brake) Shame about no new engines this year, for G too, but it's not like we don't have a lot to buy this year. Go resin buildings and red coaches!!

This place has him, even though it says 330 if you add him to the cart the true price is 260!

I doubt Culdee will actually be in the show. As awesome as that would be I feel it's the same deal for Class  40 and big city engine. Just models.

Culdee is now in Take-N-Play

In the way of coaches I personally would prefer the Red Coaches above all others.

The toy fair announcements are in Feburary. We will find out then.
