I emailed Bachmann a few weeks ago about them. 
They simply said Bill and Ben were July, Donald and Douglas were due in November. 
Shift those months forwards one and there you go.      

Percy?  He came in Season 1.  He was one of the main seven.   

Also, by seeing whats being made this year, I can bet that we are going to get Duck and/or Diesel.  Only thing is Diesel could be VERY fragile, considering his wheels and rods.  I never thought Bachmann would make Bill and Ben, but boy was I proved wrong!

Styrene is basically plasticard.  Check evergreenscalemeodels.com or even plastruct.com

They sell loads of it and different forms as well.   

It all has to do with the direction.  Remember Edward's Exploit when he had the coaches loosened to help them start each other into motion?  Same thing, but there is no force (engine) causing the coaches to help James push.  He is trying to move all of them at once instead of (when moving forward) moving the first coach and having the first coach help the second.    Try putting weight in James to help him hold to the rails.

I happen to stumble upon this website here: http://www.009.cd2.com/lynton_and_barnstaple_modelling/albums/goods/lyntonandbarnstaplegoodswagons5.html NOTE:There are some models that look like the ones from thomas & friends.

Wow, you can copy a link straight out of my forum :|

Lol, on my thread too.      

I always wanted to build a small layout like that and have a few Talyllyn locos on it.  I could take it to school in a portable case.  But, HO/OO keeps pulling me away.   

Thanks for showing us that Bachmann. 

you can also try railway-models.co.uk
They sell some Hornby Thomas stuff.

YES!       I was hoping for that!   Hooray!  Bachmann, you did awesome this year!   

I say use 1:76 figures instead of 1:87.

Actually, it's free game now, with consideration of limitation of course. 
We have so far:
The Steam Team
Mavis
Salty
Spencer

I could say we would most likely see... but anyone else will be a surprise. 

My guesses this time are:
-Diesel
-Duck
-Harvey


My wants:
-Murdoch
-Arthur
-Duck
-Charlie

...Well.     Nice job Sodor Perfection!  You have done yourself a very awesome job! 
I like the turntable in particular!  Very nicely weathered!   

It doesn;t cut well?   Could it be cut into a 4X6 instead of a 4X8?

Thanks everyone!   I called up Home Depot near my mom's house.   They have the insulation board, so when I go home I will pick up some board there!   Thanks for all the tips!

Do you know where I can find the insulation foam and do you know how much it costs?

Anyone know if FOAM CORE BOARD is suitable for model railroad scenery?   I am planning to use it as a base for my layout and use some for my mountains.
