New Thomas & Friends Products to be Featured at the 2010 Toy Fair



Oh how we LOVE Thomas the Train around here! I still remember getting that first wooden set as a Christmas present for our then two year old. The look on his face when he saw Thomas and all his friends lined up under the Christmas tree is a memory we will hold dear forever.

Bachmann is introducing some new products for 2010 that I am excited to tell you about. They are the new Tidmouth Sheds and Tidmouth Sheds Expansion Pack, two new sets of locomotives – Bill & Ben and Donald & Douglas, Salty’s Dockside Delivery Set, Farmer McColl, and a Sodor Lighthouse. Bachmann proudly unveiled Large Scale Thomas & Friends™ last year. This year, Bachmann will be expanding this popular series with the release of James the Red Engine and four new pieces of rolling stock.

Not only are they introducing these new products, but they are introducing Thomas & Friends all over the world! They announced a licensing agreement with HIT Entertainment through which Bachmann is granted rights to distribute Thomas & Friends™ HO and Large Scale products in new territories around the world. Bachmann is very pleased to be expanding such a wonderful product line and introducing Thomas the Tank Engine™ to new aspiring engineers worldwide!

In addition to the United States, Canada, China and Hong Kong, Bachmann will now distribute HO and Large Scale products in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and South Africa.

Also, new territories for Large Scale distribution include: Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Tajikistan, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Uzbekistan.

I saw somewhere bachmann wont introduce Donald and Douglas until next year in 2011. Is that true?

Forrest,

You make a great point! Thomas is for both genders. Glad to hear your granddaughter is so crazy about the shows!

Thomas isn't just "Boy Toys" as my middle granddaughter is nuts about the shows; she'll practically end up with her nose on the screen.
And my wife has her own model trains too.

I've used a number of Thomas models as kitbash material for On30 and Gn15 scale and gauge trains.

Yeah, we like!

Love that they are coming out with some new products. I was hoping they would. I'm excited about James the Red Engine. My boy will definitely want one of those.

Yep, Thomas the Train is a big hit around our house too.
