Yes I do mean Mike and Rex.

I will be very surprised if we get a new range again this year. I honestly don't think we will get a new Gauge for a long time, especially the Minature Railway.

I am getting hit by the Narrow Gauge bug as well! It is a very serious illness! I must make an appointment about it with my GP (My bank account manager)!

Personally I can see it maybe being a quiet year this year. I have a feeling we may get Duncan or rusty, just my thoughts, with a item or two of rolling stock which is likely to be a red coach and break van. Ho possibly Paxton although i would love daisy. Large probably Edward or diesel. Still have Oliver and Winston to released. Buildings which seems to go unnoticed. I think ffarquhar station. A depot in scale with skarloey. Possibly knapford clock tower.

I agree with you. I do not think Bachmann will release as much this year, in their Thomas & Friends range. I think we had as many products as we did in 2015, because I think we had all of that, to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Thomas the Tank Engine!

However, I do not think we will not get Rusty or Duncan, just yet. If we do get another Narrow Gauge Locomotive which I hope we do, I am sure it will be Rheneas. Getting Skarloey one year, who is the No. 1 Engine in the hills, would be like getting Thomas, the No. 1 Engine one Engine, but then getting Rusty or Duncan after Skarloey without Rheneas, would be like getting Emily before Percy! This is not going to happen, and it can't happen. Rheneas must and has to be the next Narrow Gauge Engine, that Bachmann release. I cannot stress that enough!

[mully]

Just pointing out tho both Duncan and rusty have had more star roles. Just putting that out there
