You have really got me excited, I am hoping soo much that a Plarail version of Raul is created. I have already studied up on him and have tones of ideas of what to do to him. I need to go lie down to get my heart rate slowed down.

All I know about cricketing is that Ross "RubberNinja" O'Donovan and Arin "Egoraptor" J. Hanson played it once on Game Grumps's sister show, Steam Train.

The gauge difference has been entirely ignored like with previous characters that are too small or too big, like Gator being standard gauge even though he has a narrow gauge basis, and Sam being too large.

The trailer claims that it's a musical. I really hope it isn't as musical as they're making it out to be. I like a few songs, but I wouldn't like hearing sing-a-long after sing-a-long after sing-a-long after sing-a-long when I'm already hyped up on candy, popcorn, and candied popcorn. I'd have the biggest headache.

Anyone else think Yong Bao sorta looks like a cross between Hiro and Murdoch? In regards to shape, that is.

The livery of Shane is changed on the front probably to suit the green and gold of the Australian cricket team or Australian sporting colors in general but the rest of the livery is basically that of the SAR (South Australian Railway) and AN (Australian National) like the Diesel in the pic with 520.

Everyone's been saying that. It's the handrails on the front of his smokebox. It's just a coincidence doe.

No, they should be named Ross and have a split personality: super evil sadistic side, and a very kind, caring side. c:

Another choice for an Aussie engine would have been this one which already has a name and was built and operated in Melbourne where I live Tongue

Heavy Harry...

Edit I found a cartoon on facey which is accurate haha

I'm still wishing one of the remaining international engines will be from Rakevet Yisrael, like the JT 42BW.

I've tried to send HiT an Email where I asked if there will be any plans to include one. Hope they'll get back soon.

The trailer's already out, and no unknown characters have been shown... They may be keeping a secret, but, sorry to tell you, that they most likely will not be adding any more characters...
