Now that we've officially revealed our first sample of Peter Sam in HO/OO (009), we figured we should show off some closer detail shots! **Note: this is an UNPAINTED sample** Production models will wear his full color scheme!
Ok, I'm afraid we're gonna drag the suspense out a little longer on this... but we're not leaving you empty-handed. This should be a pretty big hint for what's to come! 🧐 Don't worry, a proper reveal is coming soon!
Yes, the rumors are true... Tune in today for a very special

A little tram engine, Toby is his name... in this case, very little! The arrival of our first painted sample of N Scale Toby means we're getting closer to his release!
Since we gave you a sneak preview of a certain red N scale engine more than a few weeks ago now, we figured it was about time to do a "proper" unveiling...
Here's the first look at our upcoming Large-Scale Diesel on the way to our Thomas & Friends™ lineup. As you can see, he's very happy for the popular demand.
By now you probably know that everyone's favorite dockyard engine is coming back to our line, but did you know that we made some very small paint updates?
Let us know if you can spot the main difference with the previous model (hint: it's a VERY subtle change)!
The first samples of our HOn30 (009) Talyllyn Railway 0-4-2ST "Talyllyn" have arrived from the factory! These models represent the famous Welsh locomotive in three eye-catching schemes worn in preservation. Which one is your favorite?
*Colors and details subject to change*
Who's ready to add a Narrow Gauge Box Van and Brake Van to their Skarloey Railway fleet? We just received our first painted samples from the factory, so expect to see these in stores in the near future!
Here are the changes we've made to our HO Salty, with our new (top) and old (bottom) models for comparison!
• All colors are updated
• The paint on the chassis has been extended part-way up the running board
• Wheels and rods are now blackened nickel
What do you think?
Look what got "dropped off" at Brendam Docks on our Thomas & Friends™ display layout... Now featuring a yellow line between the red and cream. Coming late 2022!
We're always impressed with the ingenuity of our fans! Thanks to Charlie Guinasso for sharing these photos of his custom-made N Scale Henrietta! In true Sodor fashion, it was brought into the scene for photos on a plank wagon, with our HO model tagging along for comparison!
We know most of you are probably aware of this already, but a certain Geisel-funneled HO Narrow Gauge locomotive is making his way to retailers now...
Thanks to
@legomastr365_
for sharing this great photo featuring a custom driver (not included with the model).
Your last look at what's to come to our
#NScale
@ThomasFriends
lineup is an unpainted sample of Thomas the Tank Engine™. The classic trio of Thomas, Annie, and Clarabel will be a great addition to your layout.
The first sample of a certain "well-mannered" brake van is here! Don't worry, this isn't his final color scheme - he's just a pre-production model!
Featuring all-new tooling, Toad is expected to ship in N scale in 2023 🙂
How beautiful is our newest Thomas & Friends™ product announcement? Oh... it's a little blurry, you say? I'll make sure it looks better on our Facebook Live event with
@Trainworld
tomorrow night at 6pm EDT!
PSA TIME: Thomas & Friends™ fans - We're sorry to report we have no updates on HO Daisy or Peter Sam at this time. When we do, we promise to share them. We appreciate your patience and are eager to get them to you as soon as we can. They'll be in some time in 2021.
Scam site alert! Just a reminder to exercise caution when shopping online - Bachmann Sale is a fake site without real inventory, pretending to be our site. We're working to have it taken down, but until then, help us spread the word that it's fake!
Our new British Track-Cleaning Brake Van is equipped with European-style hook and loop couplers to work with your Thomas & Friends™ collection! Each car will come with a reusable and replaceable cleaning pad. Coming early 2022!
Who's ready to add the Narrow Gauge Brake Van and Box Van to their Skarloey Railway trains? Coming soon in HO Narrow Gauge (and yes, the final models will be painted - these are just test samples!)
Large Scale Diesel and Paxton are almost here! Look for these great Thomas & Friends™ character additions at your favorite Bachmann retailer in the coming weeks!

with
@Trainworld
? Tonight, Doug Blaine will be introducing our first (unpainted) sample of HO Scale Ryan to viewers on the live stream!
We're still working on his face, so for now, this is what we can show you, but I'm sure you can guess who this little N Scale guy is...
Also, this is probably obvious, but we should mention that this is an unpainted sample - the finished model will be fully painted 😎
Needless to say, the notifications have been blowing up a bit today. If we didn’t get a chance to respond to your questions/comments/concerns, just now that we’re listening to you! Continue to tweet, email, Instagram comment/Facebook post away. We will get back to you!
Who's that at the controls? Why yes, it's our very own Doug Blaine - operating a Polish Px48 steam locomotive at the Środa District Railway while visiting last week!
