glad for the new releases like Ryan and n scale Toby/S.C. Ruffy, was kind of hoping for Sir Handel but yellow Rheneas will at least be a collectors item. Also glad the large scale line is getting some new items as well

A few years ago BACHMANN announced 2 trucks that had RWS exclusives and from what I've heard they couldn't get approval from HiT to manufacture them, although I could be wrong, I think RWS models also have a narrower (no pun intended) target audience to more easily appeal to, as the TVS is more relevant to the younger audience, which seems to be deprived of the RWS, which is a shame really, there are lot's of amazing RWS stories that haven't made it to screens or into the hearts and minds of children they were intended for after all...
Alex, that is correct. Fred and Ricketty were both announced in 2005 and were cancelled in mid-production because Hit did not approve of them being made, hence why the open wagon was blue and the cargo car was painted orange (which was odd because at that time, there were no orange wagons on the show).
Bachmann generally aims to make characters as they were in the television series rather than designs from the books. Some of the rolling stock they have made in the past have done stock that have some nice RWS touches to them, including the blue narrow gauge van has an 'SR' logo printed on too. That alone has me tempted to pick one of those up!
So is that why the Open Wagon - Blue and the Cargo Car was released, as they where supposed to be Fred Pelhay and Rickety, but instead Bachmann released the Open Wagon - Blue and the Cargo Car, as HiT Entertainment would not give the approval too Bachmann to put those two Open Wagon's into production?
Have you already got a 77202 Narrow Gauge Box Van - Blue then?

While I don't see the Arlesdale engines happening anytime soon or narrow gauge engines in On30, I can definitely see an N scale range happening in the future. An O gauge range wouldn't be a bad idea either, but Lionel still has the rights for making Thomas in O gauge as far as I'm aware, whereas with Tomix it's really hard to tell at this point since their range is inactive.

Lionel produced some O Gauge Thomas stuff, but I am unsure if they still do...

I'm not familiar with Hon&1/2, Hoe, 009 but from their description I would think this is HOn30.
