Thomas and Friends in N from Bachmann

[jpendle]

Trainworld.com in the US are showing due date 30 September 2020 for Thomas & coaches at 129.99$. Plus impoert duty for non-US members of course.

Sorry, pet peeve, you spelled 'import' wrong 

Real pet peeve, there is no import duty on toy trains, it's VAT, plus handling charges for VAT collection.

Regards,

John P

But ... but ... but ...

When did A & C become 4-wheelers? In all of the Rev W Awdry's illustrations, they are DEFINITELY bogie coaches!

And while it might not always be clear from the illustrations, the text clearly states that Clarabel is a brake coach.

TrainTsarFun released another vid today and he has finally received Percy and also the Thomas starter set.

Still seems no news on when these will be released in the UK.

A link to the vid is always useful    It's just a tedious unboxing video though (unless there's another vid out there?)

I've seen AGR Models in Leighton Buzzard https://www.agrmodelrailwaystore.co.uk/ have Annie, Clarabel and two Troublesome Trucks listed on their website:

Clarabel

Troublesome Truck 1

Troublesome Truck 2

Strangely there's no sign of Thomas himself yet 🤔

Yeah that would have been helpful  . Was watching it on my TV so didn't think to add it to the post

Watching the "Virtual" Amherst model show online this evening, Bachmann have announced a Toby and a James in N along with some wagons.

Saw that the other day, and also Bachmann US had a vid up talking about the whole Thomas & Friends line for all gauges, though didn't mention Toby. Wish they would announce dates for a UK release of the N gauge stuff.
