Characters Bachmann Needs to Do 

WE NEED HIRO... THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!! Also could you imagine a J50 Thomas 😅

I would love to see the Arlesdale engines in Z scale. Bachmann should also do Henrietta with a face and the other cgi characters that they can make.

I would kill for a Hiro model by Bachmann! It’d be cool if Bachmann made Flying Scotsman too (2025 maybe?)

Bro really out here with The Unlucky Tug thumbnail tryna trick people into watching lmao

For my personal Bachmann Thomas HO Scale Wishlist: I'd like to see Whiff, Scruff, Hiro, Stephen, Sidney, and Rocky be made.

Honestly, Bachmann need to make Porter. Porter is my favorite character of the entire series! I mean, if Bachmann had the balls to make Beau, I’m sure they can make Porter happen.

While Sidney is bound to get a model, I’m still quite sceptical about Hiro and Nia receiving a model from Bachmann. The other problem with Bachmann is that some products come out way longer originally scheduled.

As much as I agree with most of the ideas that you listed, I can't forsee some of these happening. For one, as much as I would love for Bachmann to update the faces on Thomas, James and Percy (as well as Cranky and Bertie while I'm at it), the chances of that happening are next to none unfortunately. There's a reason why with James' they only ever went back to fix some of the colors, and did color variations of both him and Thomas. Something as simple as a repaint is less expensive than making an entirely new face mold. That's also the reason why Salty's updated model and Original James have painted tail-lamps instead of seperate pieces. And yeah, while they have enough money to produce new merchandise every year, they're much better off continuing with that than using the money to make new faces for like 3 characters. Granted they did do it with Diesel by giving him a grumpy face, but that model never replaced his original smiling model. As for Bachmann's G Scale range, they could make Henrietta; I'm quite surprised that they haven't yet, but as for Edward I'm not so sure. They're never make Gordon and Henry because of their size but for Edward I don't know. The last tender engine that they made was Emily which was 11 years ago and ever since, they've been making smaller characters so maybe it has something to do with like pricing. That's probably why they're not making him. As for everything you else you stated, I can see it happening. Not sure about the whole 'Arry and Bert thing but, it's possible I say. I just hope that when Bachmann does make Sidney in HO scale, his face doesn't come out as clucked as Paxton's. But I guess we'll find out sometime before the decade ends.

Here the thing Bachmann have explained why they haven't done stuff that that you pointed out. Its due to the fact the Licence holder for Thomas *cough cough Mattel* won't allow them to do certain things with it that and on the Edward part was more or less cost, hence why they didn't do a lot of tender engines besides James and Emily.

I'd also love to see Old Shape Henry and rolling stock like Hector, Fred Pelham, U.L.P., Hannah, Old Slow Coach, the Slip Coaches, Skiff, the Chinese Dragon and the Jet Engine. I know it's a lot but come on, surely making rolling stock can't be that hard

The fact is, Bachmann is the only official company out there that still cares about Thomas, hence why they continue to produce high-quality merchandise based on the CGi era instead of the All Engines Go! spin-off. Mattel, on the other hand, continues to produce merchandise based on AEG! instead of releasing new models for the Thomas Wooden Railway revival line. If it were up to me, I'd have had new models of characters like Duck, Donald, Douglas, Oliver, and Toad released for that line in early 2023.

Bachmann stated that they'd love to do other characters! However, the big guys at Mattel control what characters are made. Mostly, it's the more recent and new characters. Sorry if you already put their statement into a video. First time I've ever watched your stuff.

I wanna see Bachmann Thomas in O scale.

I’m planning to do Custom Nia and Rebecca instead of getting Bachmann Nia and Rebecca Models at some point in the future! I want Season’s Greetings Express Coaches.

Remember its Mattel that tells Bachmann they can and can't produce, like boco and stepney bachmann Said they would be more than happy to but Mr Mattel says otherwise, bachmann is now bringing the fun fair vans,

Ha Ive already made custom bachmann Sidney and splatter and dodge and crovan and old shape Henry

Just to clear up, the new tooling for the new lner 12 ton vans didn't exist prior, as the ice cream van's tooling is based off of an lms design, not an lner one, though it is easy to make that mistake...

It would be nice if Bachmann did make Gordon’s special coaches from series 10 just like they did with Toby‘s museum coaches because it would be nice to have different coaches.

3:40 Good question.

I hope for Bachmann Ashima

I don't know if it's a legal issue with Lionel on O scale or what, but Bachmann are the kings of On30 already so I would absolutely adore if they did the Skarloey Railway in On30.

The only new rolling stock I would add to G-scale (besides Henrietta) is a Cattle Wagon.

Nia will definitely happen at some point, which I'm okay with. Her model could be a decent scratch-aid for kitbashing a real model out of. Hiro might happen, but I guess we'll have to wait and see, as long as the character is popular enough.

How about the future of rolling stock, including the Troublesome Trucks and Troublesome Truck #7.

I'd love to see them do Hiro

Harvey and Whiff!

I think they should get a road added to the yearly roster as they have beem slacking there and they have so many to do.

I want Bachmann to make Henry and Gordan in G scale.

HO Scale Sidney: Yes, I definitely see the potential in him! As you said his basis is the same as Diesel, Arry, Bert and Paxton. He appears in a few episodes, even has one spotlight episode to himself and speaks in most episodes. The eye mechanism will be hard to do, but there’s a good chance they’ll get him right and much accurate. Hiro: I love to see him being made, as he’s one of the strongest writing characters and I love Hero of the Rails. Plus since now we’re getting tender engines being made (Rebecca and Beau), they have to make him very soon. Nia: I wouldn’t really be surprised if she’s being made and I don’t really care that much about her, but since Rebecca is being made Nia will get made as soon as Bachmann saves money for they’re tooling. Besides Sidney if there’s a few characters I wish Bachmann would make, it will have to be: Samson, Porter, Stephen, Victor, Luke and Mille. Don’t got much for N Scale and Large Scale, but hope there’s surprises waiting for them especially Large Scale.

Great video I hope they make a g scale Edward

1:26 - Now THAT'S a flashback I did not expect to see again at all! (For context, I made that crappy photo as a "Custom DVD cover" I did regarding locos of that class, back then I knew shit what I was doing) As for the suggestions - I think the reason why Bachmann still hasn't done Sidney yet is because they don't want a repeat of HO Paxton where, due to being made much much later than Diesel, had this face being whacked out to fit the eye mechanism (the reason why G Scale Paxton's face is fine is because it was developed alongside Diesel, so it's unknown how Sidney'd be done, though for N Scale, there shouldn't be such issue). For Hiro - it's very likely to happen, since they already have the moulds for the wheels designed for Rebecca. For the original three - I think the issue would be that, if redesigned, they'd most likely use crappy 3-pole motors and be much more expensive than the stock standard variants. N Scale - I think it's just the matter of time when Branchline Coaches, Spiteful Brakevan come out in that scale. G Scale - yeah, Henrietta is a must. And to go alongside Toby, I think Mavis could be a great contender for the range (and possibly other Tank Engines and Scottish Twins).

My Bachmann Models I Want Them To Make Is Sidney Whiff Victor Hiro And Trevor For Others G Scale Gordon And N Scale Duck Would Be Cool

Honestly want more rolling stock in model era colours like the post van in brown Trevor, and Edwards S2 coaches aka the non named Annie and Clarabel models

I was agreeing with everything you said until 2:23 they NEED to keep their classic series faces. its the only classic era stuff we got left (besides Japan, which has much more cooler merch than the US)

I think All the remaining model series characters from engines, narrow gauge engines and vehicles all should become bachmann and the remaining rolling stocks like old slow coach, rocky, and hector should get their own bachmann models too

I would love to seen them update their old models and maybe have changeable faces like for remakes

Bachmann also needs to make Splatter and Dodge because they have already made Diesel and Paxton and Bachmann needs to make G scale Toad

What about Duncan

Idk but hurricane would be cool

Make more Bachman related content

How about who should be released for Lionel. We got only 6 engines with Arry and Bert rare.

One problem with Nia. Bachman would be making nothing from her, due to fandom dislike to her.

1:29 they could make a splatter and dodge since they haven’t been released by bachmann I think splatter and dodge were released by Hornby

THEY HAVE GYAT TO MAKE N SCALE EDWARD

The One And only thing I hate about Bachmann is that they will release a Great model See that people want it And never release it again

They can at least do splodge. It's the easiest thing in the world. One face for both engines, diesel without ladder and recolor. They'd get bought up, people love splodge.

Hot take: i want kana to be released. Ik shes from the reboot, but I just REALLY want a bullet train that isn't kenji to be made. It's bound to happen sooner or later

Ngl it's a good video. I can only hope for Duchess and Scotsman in the future. Hiro would even be able to use Rebecca's wheels. I fear the day bachmann switches to AEG merch 💀

Why would you want to ruin some of Bachmann's pre-CGI Era models by giving them CGI faces? lol

I don't see what's wrong with the Thomas, Percy and James models. They're the most screen accurate models I've seen besides Diamond Pet's models.

WE NEED AN N SCALE EDWARD

I have percy from a ex friend not going into details but we didn't fight I haven't run it I need to work on my layout and I don't really run thomas stuff I prefer realistic stuff like a B2 peckett and stuff like that

Ok

I'd love to see Bachmann make Lady and Diesel 10, after all they stole most of our hearts

Maybe Boco or Bear in Ho.

I want Dennis and Norman

Here’s an idea for a video in the style (and if you’ve already done it sorry if I missed it): We’ve seen several Thomas Towns across the world. Small sections of larger theme parks dedicated to our favorite blue tank engine. But what if Thomas, by some bizarre circumstances, suddenly skyrocketed in popularity again to the point where Metallica justify making a theme park all about Thomas and his friends. If you were put in charge of designing it, what would you do? They remind you do have to be a bit realistic and keep in mind that this can’t just be for Thomas fans, but it has to appeal to the general audience and kids who are more familiar with the current Thomas. What is the same time you can appeal to classic Thomas and even the railway series. so with all this in mind, what would the park be like? What iconic Sodor locations would you represent? Would there be transportation to move people around the park? If so, what vehicles would you use? What kind of rides would there be? Would there be any restaurants? Pretty much just go wild and come up with what your dream Thomas amusement park would be.

I really want BoCo...but due to not being relevant in the CGI series, that's quite unlikely.

No CGI faces for any of the characters! The classic Thomas and Friends series was the best in my opinion. So it’s my belief that you shouldn’t go for CGI faces for the characters. It’s a bad idea all around. Have you seen Oliver’s character face? It’s terrible looking.

I do agree that stepney should be done in ho scale

Asking them to make CGI faces for the ones that have model era faces is the most backward thing I've heard. The CGI versions ARE the problem. CGI faces for CGI characters, fine. But the classic era faces are perfect, aside from the three you mentioned which I agree need changing. But not to CGI! Model era is superior in every way and they're the definitive versions of those characters. The CGI faces are lifeless in comparison despite actually moving!

What about sandy Kana carley aeg thomas

No nia bachmann

TBH I think they should go stay with the model faces because I don't like the cgi faces on the plarail ones tbh

Albert molly Elise and others

we need smugder we need steppney we need 98462 we need d199

1:00

Tbh I’m waiting to see fergus, old slow coach, boco, mighty mac, culdee, hector, bulstrode, d199, Derek, Lexi, lor 1, lor 2, lor 3, Neil, flying Scotsman, Hugo, Harvey, diesel 10, Sam, Dustin, 16, bulgy, all of the construction vehicles, smudger, Glynn, splatter, dodge, Fred, skiff, rocky, and Proteus.

We need Boco or Derek or even Stanley.
