“We can’t make characters that aren’t relevant”
Proceeds to make Beau and Stanley
Stanley not so much.
Stanley is only *just* cutting it to be relevant
Yeah seriously who even knows or remembers beau? Of all the BWBA characters why didn't they also do nia since rebecca was already approved? Personally I don't care for any BWBA stuff since that's what killed thomas to begin but it would have made more sense to just make nia alongside rebecca since she is relevant.
@@waitingforwhoasked6403if anything hiro is way more relevant than stanley. Stanley has relevant 15 years ago and he barely does anything
Beau is a repaint of a non-Thomas model they already have so he's an exception
One character I'd like to see at some point is hiro. He's one of the few CGI characters that fans old and new both like and would be a gateway for bachmann to gain Japanese customers and even the first Japanese locomotive class to be made by an American model train company. I'm very surprised they never made hiro yet, especially since it's been fifteen years since hero of the rails came out.
Yk that's true he's a popular character that I'm surprised they haven't made yet
Have fun with a 300$ model lol
I would love to see Hiro.
AN N GAUGE HIRO IS NO LONGER A WANT,IT IS A *NEED.*
Hiro will most likely happen if Rebecca sells well.
This is one reason why Mattel needed to bring back older characters into the CGI series, but now it’s far too late
That was a most disappointing thing in the future!
Maybe in the revival era someday.
@@joshuaW5621what would the revival look like?
@@rorymoore8982 kinda like the Brenner era but with the missed potential fulfilled. Also the characters would look more like realistic vehicles.
how do you know 💀 @@joshuaW5621
Stepney deserves a bachman model. We love stepney so much
As much as I would love for Diesel 10 to be made, I wholeheartedly understand that even if they did not only would it be too costly depending on detail Bachmann had to endue, but also we had to consider about how the claw would've worked, especially given the Real Lives of Thomas page's trivial details of adding an illegal modification that would be too large under loading gauge.
As far as mattel is concerned realism doesnt count for dick any more,
That’s why there’s shapeways
This recent Thomas Tuesday stream just gave Diesel 10 believers hope.
"We're under Mattel's thumb and we must obey them with who they want as models"
Exactly. Acting like it was their decision really annoyed me. They're just puppets.
0:45 now here's the weird thing plarail capsule just had a series THIS YEAR with boco and Fergus.
You’re right
Capsule Plarail also rereleased Splatter and Dodge
Maybe Japan has more creative control so much that mattel might think "do your own thing I dont- HEY bachmann you cant do stepney"
bachmann also wanted to bring boco and duke but mattel also denied it, duke was gonna appear in kevin the steamie but he was cut, in 2015 sam wilkinson wanted to bring duke and boco back it didn't happen, andrew brenner also wanted to bring boco back to cgi but mattel denied it
They're not ALLOWED to say no
What Mattel denied Boco and duke in bachmann and the cgi series what the hell this is why toy companies should stick to making toys instead of making tv show they ain’t that good at it
They considered bringing BoCo back or bringing Bear into the show, although I would rather have both of them than one or the other.
Bachmann never considered choosing BoCo, when manufacturing Diesel and The Scottish Twins in 2010, before they were released in 2011 from the fans theories.
Duke wouldn't even happen, after the six of the SKR fleet are made past the 2010s.
Yeah Mattel doesn’t care
Somehow I had a sinking feeling Bachmann wouldn't be making models of Stepney and Diesel 10 anytime soon. But at least their reasoning is justified.
Personally, I'd like to see them come out with HO Scale models of Hiro, Stephen, Winston, and Harvey.
Though then again, Harvey would be another character that's unlikely to get its own model. But one can dream.
I’d love to see more crane tanks in model form.
Well Harvey is smaller although maybe not because of his crane
I’m happy to tell you Diesel 10 is now a possibility.
Diesel 10 deserves a Bachmann Model
So do Harvey, Arthur, Murdoch, and Whiff
Amen
You can make diesel 10 out of a daisy and 3-D printed body shell
@@weloveteddyDaisy is an official Bachmann model
@@NintendoNamcoAndNickFan he was saying that we can use Daisy’s chassis and a 3D body to make diesel 10
Honestly, they don’t even really need to do Stepney with a Thomas face to release him! They could just do a model of the real-life Stepney and us fans could add the faces at our leisure. Never mind what Mattel says, they’d just need to ask permission from the Bluebell Line instead.
Diesel 10: I knew pinchy will have an issue but Tbh, people made customs of D10 where he can fit through tunnels.
Stepney: Not a chance
Flying Scottsman: talk to Hornby
If we were given the opportunity by both Mattel and Hit. We could’ve had Bachmann produce characters like Diesel 10 and Lady in around 2003, Murdoch in 2004, Harvey in 2006, Molly and Neville in 2008, Whiff in 2012, Stepney as a limited edition in 2015, maybe City Of Truro with a face in 2020, heck we could’ve gotten a model of Sidney last year in 2022. Also if characters like Duke or Derek came back in CGI, we would’ve definitely seen Bachmann make models of them.
Sony owns TMR characters, and it doesn't take Bachmann a year to make more than one or two engines in a year.
@@islesofforeignrails7917 we could’ve also seen characters we did get eventually come out earlier like Mavis in 2003, Toby in 2004 and Edward in 2005 to coincide the 60th anniversary of the railway series.
hornby stepney "doesn't look very good " sorry I had a chuckle to that one
Maybe update the tooling, change the wheel arch and shade shade of gold and green and he’d look good enough.
Custom Modelers: i am inevitable
flying scotsman deserves a bachmann model
You didn't say *why* bachmann isn't gonna make Flying Scotsman.
I mean, technically, it wouldn't take much to make a Bachmann Smudger or Splatter and Dodge, all you need is some paint and a spare Rheneas and a couple of spare Diesels.
Never thought that there is a committee that regulates model railways until now! LOL!
if someone is buying expensive bachmann thomas models, they prob know alot about the show, and have watched the classic episodes
It’s such a shame Bachmann can’t make these characters, I would’ve loved too see them make Arthur, Murdoch, Neville, Molly and BoCo in the line. But I do understand their reasoning.
I think flying Scotsman is very easy to make and they should make him soon
With pinchy diesel 10 too tall To fit under tunnels
Hornby Toby: Too big to fit under tunnels and sheds And yet they have an updated him Even before the range was canceled
Doug Blaine just opened up the possibility of Diesel 10 in the recent Thomas Tuesday stream. It won’t happen right away because of high costs to make the claw.
'New generations dont know stepney'
Me: 'shows the TTTE episode that has stepney in it'
Well that’s what Mattel chooses to believe.
Older fans could always show younger fans the original model Thomas series, those were the best and show them these characters and how great they were maybe that could help get their interest on these original great characters and make them into bachmann, and also characters like stepney, duke and boco are relevant and many other model characters like molly, Neville, mighty Mac, Murdoch Arthur and Harvey would all be great additions, hopefully all these characters and the other model series characters will make it as bachmann someday
Not like it will convince Mattel to let them make Stepney. Mattel sees the older fans as the minority and is more interested in marketing recent characters than those who haven’t appeared in over a decade.
@@joshuaW5621 that’s their problem they will only do recent ones now instead of giving originals a comeback, the kids will never know or understand how good we all had good characters back then from Thomas
I can understand this because honestly, I don’t like Bachmann’s line in terms of what gets produced as of now, and I just don’t think Stepney maybe be possible anymore. Same with BoCo. Diesel 10, definitely not, it’s impossible. But yeah, it’s like anything we fans do, we do better, including with custom models.
Right, because Toby’s museum coaches, which aren’t even canon mind you, are completely relevant.
Rolling stock is easier to do, especially if it’s pre-existing tooling. That’s why they were able to do the spiteful brake van.
I thought it was just the brake museum coach that wasn't canon. Wasn't Toby pulling a singular museum coach in the episode where he thought he was going to be put in the museum?
3:51 man, that's too real. I've been wanted to put together a collection of Hornby terriers with the new tooling and it's been impossible to get a Stepney (or really any terrier in Improved engine green)
I totally understand why Bachmann is not making old characters from Thomas, as much as we would want to see ones like Stepney or Molly being made their unfortunately not relevant due to them never being brought back to the CGI Series. Even for characters who do appear in CGI like Harvey or Rocky, they can’t make them due to their perplex fictional crane arm. On the bright side I’m happy that my wishlist for Ryan and Stanley came to be, now I’m really hoping they would make Sidney next.
But models of breakdown cranes and crane engines do exist.
Replace Rocky with a Hornby Railroad Breakdown Crane and just slap a 2d printed rocky face on it!
Knowing that after what Doug said recently means that Diesel 10 is likely now. He's not happening like right away but he has a likely chance same for Harvey.
"Current fans" THE OLDER FANS ARE THE ONES WITH THE *MONEY!!!* MAKE THE STEPNEY
literally he was my favourite!
Mattel doesn’t care.
“Never say never”
Bandai diesel 10 model is just amazing and closely accurate of his claw yeah I guess we just have to accept the fact
but in past model trains can be built from plastic mold kits rolling stocks maybe it might work but only third party company would dare to do that
Lady wouldn't be too difficult to make, I'm sure she wouldn't be too expensive to purchase. I hope Bachmann will make Lady, I'd love to have her in my collection.
I don’t know if Lady is possible. If any non-cgi characters are possible, I think Hector is the most likely one seeing as Bachmann is still making rolling stock from the model series, including the spiteful brakevan, so who knows.
@@joshuaW5621 If Bachmann can make characters like Oliver and Stepney, which they have done, I'm sure they can add Lady to the list. Anything is possible, never say never.
@@kellyashfordtrains2642 Oliver is based on his CGI series design and Stepney isn’t being made for obvious reason, so what’s your point?
@@joshuaW5621 Ever heard of the words stop being negative? My point is Bachmann have made Daisy the Diesel Railcar, Devious Diesel, Bill & Ben, and Ryan the newest character to come out on sale. If they can do that, then give me one good reason why they wouldn't consider making Lady the Lost Engine for a reasonable price. Stop being a Doubting Thomas. With Bachmann, anything is possible, never say never.
@@kellyashfordtrains2642 I’m not being negative, I’m just being realistic. If you watch this video you’ll understand. Mattel isn’t letting Bachmann make engines who haven’t been in cgi. Why would they make Lady?
Also what do these characters have to do with this? They were made because they were already in cgi (although in Bill and Ben’s case, absent characters were still getting merchandise at the time they were made). How is Lady different from a character like Daisy or Diesel?
I’d say never say never. I think these characters are unlikely, but I don’t think anyone is off the table forever.
My thoughts exactly
Diesel 10 probably will never happen (at least as a ready to run model)
@@greatwestern57 I’m happy to say that Doug on Thomas Tuesday has just proven you wrong. Diesel 10 is still possible.
@@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx Amazing! Where can i find this great news?
@@greatwestern57 On TrainWorld’s Thomas Tuesday stream The Reveal Of Bachmann Stanley & Painted Figures at the 1:39:52 mark. Doug said Bachmann has gotten away with non NMRA compliant Thomas products before, which opens the door for Diesel 10 and Harvey in the future. The problem is the cost to make an operational claw for Diesel 10 and crane for Harvey.
Fun fact originally there was going be to a live action actor who was as going to be the main villain of movie Diesel 10 next to conductor there few clips online
They should’ve brought Stepney back! He might not be as grand as Flying Scotsman, but he is another character that could lead children to learning about real life preserved railways as he is a real life engine from the Bluebell Railway and visited Sodor
I will in the revival era. I promise.
Another reason for scott and Stepney not being made is the licencesing. Both being real engines therefore have real owners that need to grant permission for them to be used
I totally understand but it such a shame that these characters will never be made. :(
Bachmann should have gone back and redo their Thomas entirely and make him in The Great Discovery style.
Bluebells for ever!
3:23 Actually, I'm strangely fascinated with the chunky Flying Scotsman from the show and kind of want to convert a Bachmann Gordon into one someday. Maybe it's the blocky Corridor tenders, or maybe I just find it funny that the show's Flying Scotsman looks like a Reginald Dalby illustration because the show's version of Gordon, his brother, is closer to Reginald Payne's and Reginald Dalby's illustrations than to the prototype. I guess I find the CGI series Flying Scotsman whimsical because it's a callback to the days of Reginald Dalby illustrations, when the artist settled for "close enough" or simply rendered a character as (Enter Awdry left stage, waving book) "A green caterpillar with red stripes" (Exeunt Dalby right stage).
What do you say lads,Bluebells Forever!
I think the minority of people know this, but there only making CGI Characters, ones like the Spiteful Brakevan were just obes that slipped through. But maybe they will make big exceptions for ones like BoCo, or as you said Stepney.
But that's all you said in this one as well
Honestly, I could see Bachmann making obscure CGI characters like Charlie and Samson, like they are hated characters, but like they said with Rebecca and like you said, they are making CGI Characters
If we’re getting Stanley than we have a chance
Stanley’s been in cgi. What chance do we have of non-cgi characters getting made?
There’s a ton of characters that Bachmann hasn’t made that are in the cgi.
Another reason why Bachmann won't make a Flying Scotsman is because Hornby makes Flying Scotsman models and trix also makes an expensive Flying Scotsman model
I just want them to finish the narrow gauge lineup with Sir Handel and Duncan. Bachmann pls.
Possible that this could age like milk
Possible, but not very likely.
With Diesel 10 and Harvey being a possibility according to the recent Thomas Tuesday stream, it’s already starting to age like milk.
Why does Mattel just deny fan favorite engines? I cant possibly see the point in that other than pure incompetence.
They think they won’t sell because they think this fandom doesn’t matter.
Shame that Stepney won’t be made for Bachmann. 😔
Yeah but at the same time I understand bachmann making characters the younger audience are more familiar
2:51 It's simple for diesel ten's claw, Just simply Make it removable From the body of diesel ten when you want diesel ten to go under bridges and stuff
The Bachmann man had a good point. Hated doesn't mean not in demand. Also while some are more or less liked all generations should get a good taste of it and ngl., the Bachmann version of Rebecca looks really cool. Though if I'm honest, they should make Stephney too cuz both are pretty neat. Well at least you can still make him yourself by buying the real life model and adding the face onto it.
Naw but think about it, if they made the spiteful brakevan a character in my opinion who probably didn't have that much of a reason to be made don't you think they would make atleast stepney or neville?
Spiteful Brakevan was just taking an existing model, repainting it and adding a new face, same with Scruffy, while Stepney and Neville would require new toolings altogether
@@WaterPercyS.C. Ruffey was also made in 2006, way before the show switched to CGI, but that doesn’t change your point.
@@joshuaW5621 By 2006, Bachmann was trying to just get the main cast down, Stepney hadn't had a proper appearance in 8 years by that point
With what’s been said on the recent Thomas Tuesday stream, we might actually get Diesel 10 and Harvey after all. We’ll just have to wait until they’re announced.
Bachmann is one of the only high-quality Thomas merchandise lines left because Bachmann cares more about Thomas than Mattel does right now. Why do you think that the only new model released for the Wooden Railway line in 2023 was the Day Out With Thomas model? If I were running the Thomas Wooden Railway line, I would have had new models of characters like Duck, Donald, Douglas, Oliver and Toad released in early 2023 because I know they're what the fans want and what will sell. It makes me wish that another company, like Orbrium were able to acquire the Thomas license from Mattel.
If Mattel just brought back the characters in the AEG series then they could make them in CGI style and they were relevant. But I somehow have a very strange feeling that that would be just something that most would see as a bad thing. If they did that then some AEG hate wouldn’t be justified anymore. That would be a good thing because that would maybe silence some of the toxins in this community.
Well Bachmann has no plans to make AEG models anytime soon, plus I really don’t think Stepney should be in that show given how they make most of the smaller engines children, with the exceptions of Salty and Whiff. I have no interest in watching AEG but I’ve heard a bit about it.
why dont they just make a new tunnel for diesel 10
They could do that. Diesel 10 is still possible according to Doug Blaine on one Thomas Tuesday stream.
I just realized once bulgy is released we’ll have all the characters introduced season 3(not counting city of truro and flying Scotsman) this would make season 3 the second series where all of it’s introduced characters were made in bachmann with the first being season 1
This also means that BoCo will be the only character from the first 3 seasons who isn’t in Bachmann, although we know why they won’t make him for the time being, as well as the fact that none of the Magic Railroad characters will be made in Bachmann.
@@joshuaW5621 well Trevor isn’t made in bachmann at least not yet but if they’re making bulgy they might make trevor
@@cinnamonmantrainsareawesom7224 oh yeah I forgot about Trevor. I’m a little surprised he hasn’t been made yet.
@@joshuaW5621which begs the question once bachmann has made victor, Luke and Millie who would be next for their narrow gauge line
@@cinnamonmantrainsareawesom7224 they could do the Arlesdale engines.
Josh here, just wondering if it's possible to see a Bachmann model of my personal favorite character Hiro. Hiro is a character many are familiar with and I personally would like to see a model of Hiro.
You never know. They could make Hiro in the future.
Hiro will most likely happen if Rebecca sells well.
Ah we all dream. Would love me a Scotsman, or updated versions of even the main 8 CGI engines. Smudger would rock too (I'm a sucker for green engines, huh?), but if Mattel's rules are CGI only, we aren't ever getting some cooler engines. Odd that they allow any era of rolling stock though? Look at Toby's branchline coaches, or some of the era specific freight wagons. Overall sad, but a very good video!
I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to make Hector at some point.
Scott Is in Cgi, although a side character. How could you have Gordon and Not Scott?
@@growlie2676 the big engines (henry, spencer, rebecca, gordon) are already expensive enough, meaning they get even less sales. To produce an engine thats even bigger would not only require loads of expensive new toolings to make the new engine, but would cost even more for the consumer. Only the most dedicated fans would purchase it, given it would likely be $150-$200.
I’ve been thinking of printing in a terrier to put on a Bachman Thomas model I just need to take some measurements of a Hornby Stepney, and luckily I have a Hornby Stepney
Characters I would absolutely love for Bachmann to make:
Stepney, Neville, Molly, Mighty Mac, Dennis, and all the mountain engines
If only they were able to.
unrelated to the bachmann debate but just a contructive critisism. Music was too loud on this one compared to your voice, it made understanding some parts a bit tough, other than that awesome video homie
You know they could just make irl stepney xD
Great video!
Yeah as someone who's been burned by Bachmann's quality I decided I will make an American-style Thomas out of my old Mantua 0-6-0t.
Old fans want Rebecca? IDK. If they put any effort into their lineup and made early season accurate models, they would absolutely sell more.
season accurate models would be expensive as hell, knowing the economy 😒
What about stanley he didn't really appear that much and were still getting him
That’s different. He’s in CGI.
@@joshuaW5621 touchè
They deserve to be in bachmann, so do lady, splatter, dodge, glynn, and more
Why would Lady be any more necessary for Bachmann to make than Beau?
I hope they make Belle! I messaged Doug Blaine live on Thomas Tuesday and my comment was seen
I doubt Bachmann would shrink their Standard 4 to HO scale just for a single mid-to-low popularity character, but I wouldn’t complain if they did.
Belle could’ve been a decent character, maybe a mainline tank engine, but she was a victim of the Miller era and being tethered to the SSRC and Flynn most of the time she appears.
Thomas fans: hate Belle solely due to her water guns.
Also, love Diesel 10 to death despite his hydraulic claw.
Stepney and scott are in hornby
2:51 even thought broadway limited is making a over sized and massive prr s1 locomotive that is more then likely taller then diesel 10
Never say never my friends, we got freaking Stanley and Duncan! Plus who knows, what if Mattel with chill out with their high standards and just hire good people who will write good stories for the franchise and bring back fan favorites from the model series… like Stepney… 😏
Like me.
Pointing to the NMRA standards as the reason why Diesel 10 can't happen is utterly laughable, for multiple reasons.
1. The Bachmann Thomas range is not and has *never* been concerned with the NMRA standards. Why would it be? It's British OO, a scale outside the NMRA's bailiwick. The only standards it's concerned with are toy safety standards and UK model coupling height standards.
2. The NMRA standards are merely the rules of a club anyway (a nationwide club, but still), not legally-binding regulations or anything like that.
3. On top of all that, Pinchy is frankly no more of a clearance hassle than an electric loco's pantograph or - looking at American stuff - the second level of containers on a stacktrain.
Well, Doug debunked the Diesel 10 not happening myth in the recent Thomas Tuesday stream saying Bachmann has gotten away with non NMRA compliant Thomas products in the past.
It’s a pity that Bachmann can’t make these characters. But if you’re a hardcore railway modeller like myself, you can make customs of them. And as rare as Hornby Stepney or Murdoch are, they are pretty accurate in design.
I was fortunate to get Stepney when he was still being released for £35 second hand, but Murdoch seems to average around £2k on eBay thanks to 3 factors:
1: Only produced for one year before Hornby canned the range
2: Had already been out of the series for 9-10 years, so didn’t sell well
3: Filthy scalpers
@@christophergarland7936 I believe Murdoch was only gone for like 3 years by the time Hornby made him.
@@joshuaW5621 You’re right. For some reason I thought he released in 2017.
@@christophergarland7936 well then again characters such as Daisy, BoCo and Duke were still appearing in merchandise in the 2000s despite not being in the show at the time (with the exception of Daisy having a non-speaking role in Calling All Engines), so I guess it’s not really that far fetched for Hornby to make Murdoch in 2011. No need to worry about making a mistake. It happens.
@@joshuaW5621 You’re not wrong about characters getting merchandise far after their time, I mean CULDEE was still getting merch in 2014, 50 years after his only appearance.
2:42 Who let the fun police in?
I will be interested to get HO/OO Scale Connor and Caitlin at some point in the future.
I’d like to see the Arlesdale engines in Z scale.
They’d be cool for sure.
Sure they're unlikely but they're not off the Table.
I would love to see The Logging Locos in Bachmann form.
My dream is that lady has a bachmann model
They won't make Stepney or Boco, but they'll make a character that only appeared in a single episode. 💀
I'm curious what's going to happen with Rebecca and Beau.
I'm not saying we should we should boycott these two, but I am curious if their sales are going to hurt because they're expensive large characters that most older fans don't like (I personally have only collected RWS only characters, so don't plan on getting them). Yeah, this is a kids' franchise, but I imagine most of Bachmann's T&F customers are in their 20's and 30's. These models aren't cheap.
If their sales do poor, maybe Bachmann does try out a Stepney, and if he does well, become more open to older characters fans want (BoCo, Duke, etc.).
I think the next few years are going to be VERY interesting for the HO range.
You repeating we should confuses me a bit. What are you trying to say here?
@@joshuaW5621 Whoops, don't know why I typed that twice.
Basically, I'm not advocating that older fans boycott Rebecca and Beau, unpopular CGI only characters.
But I am curious if their sales do poorly, if Bachmann and Mattel would consider older characters, like the much demanded Stepney.
So Harvey is out of the question
I hope not. I want to see more crane tanks in OO/HO form.
This recent Thomas Tuesday stream just brought up the possibility. We might get Harvey and Diesel 10 at some point!
Mattel is not ALLOWED to say no
Agreed we will reason with them
We will not take no for an answer
Diesel 10 can be made by modifying a Bachman war ship class if it exists but the standards limit possibilities of practically upgrading a model that was made a decade or more ago so relevance makes sense but Height is the most obvious one and a flying Scotsman model isn't needed as they technically have already a model of the actual engine as all you would need to do is just do some research to have a design for the face that can fit the model then make the face and put it on as it doesn't seem hard besides the price being equivalent to stunning your toe on the metal pole keeping your bed up on the frame but besides that some of these or all of these issues come with quick solutions so people shouldn't be asking Bachman for certain models if they can easily modify a model to their desire and not make Bachman put effort into models of characters that can be made custom or what but new versions of the thomas cast which their models were made years ago can definitely be a upgrade but the models that they have will have to do but hornby made decent models being more realistic to their real life counterparts so some of these issues started without people not seeing the solution to w problem that didnt need to happen so really no models have to be made from those hold characters as they should be asking hornby for stuff like that as they made realistic models as Bachman put in the effort and they did good so noting needs to be solved when the problem really never existed.....
They couldn’t just modify an existing Warship because it’s OO scale. The Thomas range, thanks to its US origins, is in HO scale, which is slightly smaller.
If they modified an OO warship, D10 would be even more out of gauge.
That’s a crazy thought i like it
if Mattel won't let Bachmann make charaters that haven't been seen in so long, how did the manage to make the Spiteful brakevan in 2018.
Probably because he’s pre-existing tooling.
I have some ideas, if stepney (thomas) can't be made the real life can be and it can be easier so for us to have a thomas version, diesel 10 can't be made because of the arm and claw but, what if the arm was part of the roof instead of on top and the claw was lowered just like the wooden railway version. that might not sound like diesel 10 but toby has a bad bell, holes in his cowcatchers and it is better than no diesel 10.
Why do they keep the HIT entertainment logo despite the fact that Mattel is the owner.
Well if Bachmann can't make D10, then why do they sell railway breakdown cranes with funnels waaaaayyyyyyy too tall for fitting through tunnels???
Good point
Don’t tell me they won’t be able to make Harvey or Rocky. If they can make real breakdown trains, they can make Thomas breakdown trains.
@@joshuaW5621 not to mention the OG Break Down Trains, or as we now know them as Judy and Jerome.
Doug has said on the recent Thomas Tuesday stream that Bachmann has gotten away with non NMRA compliant Thomas products in the past. In other words, Diesel 10 is still a possibility along with Harvey. It won’t happen right away because of high costs for Diesel 10’s claw and Harvey’s crane.
@@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx exactly!
Can’t they make Diesel 10 without the claw, and add pinchy in an accessory bag or something?
Well since we never see Diesel 10 without Pinchy in the show, I doubt they would do that. And besides, it would probably still be tricky to accommodate the roof and to include the claw without affecting the motor.
I own a hornby stepney, he is such goober
bruh its vice versa we barley rely on bachmann.
Could definitely understand what Bachmann won’t make recognize characters because of how not relevant he is
All characters (Even the BWBA characters) are to a certain degree relevant. It depends on what era are you from. Unfortunately, some will never be seen. Though in some cases, comissions and 3D are better off and cheeper so maybe it's just not to be...🧐
Stepney is a real engine
If You Found It Out Than Yes,
If Your Telling Him Than Duh Idiot
Also the Bluebell railway has to license bachman
I feel like Diesel 10 might have a chance. Idk if Bachmann will do this but I think Diesel 10 Would go great with a Pinchy that can be removed and can also be put on with a tool that help hold it. Also I’m pretty sure what Mattel is saying is just nonsense. Most of the people that buy them are people that have been fans of the show for so long and using characters irrelevant is useless. I’m sure children that grow up with Thomas would have most likely read the books as well which would ALSO make them know a bit about Stepney
So will Stepney be released even if he’s not in CGI?
Mattel has a rule that CGI Thomas is the current status for Bachmann
@@bartzacky9639we should talk to mattel about this
@3bigenginesstudios-panoramicthat’s not gonna happen.
@3bigenginesstudios-panoramic don’t worry. Bachmann confirmed they won’t be doing AEG stuff and hopefully it will stay that way.
Mattel is so selfish and stubborn
So you are telling me me we have model train laws 2:52 💀that stop us from having diesel 10
The recent Thomas Tuesday stream just debunked those myths meaning Diesel 10 is likely to happen at some point along with Harvey.

Because Mattel is choosing to pretend the older fans don’t exist.
