@killdane1 genuinely a good thing imo but they desperately need that model series face design edge (like @MiscMischief_48's designs)

@itstrainboy oh god now I really want an updated version of the original 7 + Emily

In fact I think the ONLY thing this can mean is improvement. If the engines followed in such a style, they’d probably gain more detail in rivet work and better tooling. If the faces saw any sort of change, you could easily fix it with 3D printing again like you already do. This-

No disrespect to Rick/OP here but I think this is putting the cart in front of the horse. Bachmann has only ever made plans to make CGI engines per contract and should that change; it is not Matt’s fault or decision nor world ending. The 2026 style isn’t even that different.
Ricky@railsbyrick
Bachmann’s response to the reboot and future models. Sorry, but this answer doesn’t give me much confidence. Imagine we finally get Hiro, Whiff, or Charlie and they’re 2026-styled. That’d be a massive disappointment.

Good lord all of the larger engines look fantastic. I hope they have lots of weight on em, easily the most appealing die-cast versions of their respective character, minus the large Tomica Gordon, lol.

Ok crash twitter here we come. The closest pictures we got for all the diecast engines displayed on the wall. This was above an apparel display so it was a bit hard to reach over. #nytoyfair #thomasandfriends #thomas #Mattel

@PieceOfJayVA Easily the best model they've shown off so far, the only one that comes close is Henry tbh.

@LOTTracks @NKSchwarzwalder BWBA absolutely, I'd also add TGR since I'm pretty sure he mentioned he wished it was a Gordon movie and not Thomas. MRR has it's flaws, but the passion that went into it had a lot of people give it a pass.
CAE exists lmao.

@NKSchwarzwalder i cant stand the way this video is framed (as well as the comments too).
makes me wonder if he’d do all this for cae, bwba or even mrr.

Y'all bow to Britt while ignoring Miller's insane attention to international railway rep before BWBA and the fact she was the writer of BMM & HOTR, 2 *good movies*
This makes me think all this “praise” is a crock of shit to hide y'all's eon long bias towards Miller, ngl
molten@moltenfilms
@Sudric_Bob tbh britt wrote some of the best Thomas scenes I've ever seen. Sharon Miller, however, i lowkey cannot remember a really good well written scene for.

I feel like the questionable moments of TTTE could be better explained if ppl approached them as trains if they could *talk* rather than if trains were *ppl*. it’s like if you gave a voice to a dishwasher- it’d prob say something like ‘i want to clean the dishes!!’ no shit.
English
@SplendidNetworC Ahh yeah lol, sorry I work retail so that coworker close friend dynamic rubs off on me.
I do hope they gradually build these dynamics again like the books and early/later TVS did, though. Doesn't have to be from the ground up of course, but it needs just a little something
English
@DontKnowHowTTTE I really don't think they're just "coworkers"
they're one big family and they all fight sometimes like a family and personally I think that's what makes the dynamics so interesting, it's not Thomas and Acquaintances after all lolol
English
really hoping with this new direction they're going for and how confident they sound they change Henry's character back or try something new with him because I am SO ready for Wuss Henry to be taken out back and shot 🙏🙏
NoSamah24@No_Samah_24
Something that REALLY intrigues me is that for the big metal engines they mention James, Gordon and... Henry? You'd think they'd mention Nia or at least Emily, but no, they chose Henry before Gordon OR James Idk if Im looking to far into this but Henry COULD be having a comeback
English
@SplendidNetworC since we know Mattel looks at YouTube videos, and not only were the complaints about Henry's importance quite large, but the complaints about his overall character were stacked on top of it too.
English
@SplendidNetworC With them apparently having a Gumball writer on board for this, and a fresh blood team in general, I'm hoping they try to hone in on everyone just being coworkers that sometimes get annoyed at each other in general. I think Henry will absolutely be the stepping stone for this-
English
@starlightfan02 @E2forLife1983 Gotcha. I'm surprised they did that, though, It's like making Bertie run on rails so him and Winston could have a closer dynamic, lol.
English
@DontKnowHowTTTE @E2forLife1983 They wanted a big sister figure for their character Sandy but because the original series had no female crane engines they just went "Well Carly has a colour scheme that fits well with Sandy's livery so why not use her? It's our own continuity afterall"
English
If Carly returns in the 2026 series will she be a crane engine or an actual crane?
