Bachmann Oliver?

I was just on the Bachmann site and I found this:

Any thoughts on the design or prototype images?

There are no prototype images yet, so we can't even see the design.

A Toad is also meant to be released alongside him.

From what I know, Hornby has an Oliver and Toad, but it would be nice buy my model trains at a counter, not a online site. Someday...

I agree, there is nothing better than seeing something in your hand rather than a picture. Unfortunatly with the demise of the small Hobby Shops and the big ones for that matter, Online probably will be the only place to satisfy our hobby needs in the future.

Ah. What a bummer it'll be to not just wait for a t'n'p Oliver, but a Bachmann Oliver too.

Next up are a Bachmann Rosie and Rheneas.

Wow what an addition.

Wow what an addition.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, but I'm serious. This year Oliver, Rosie, and Rheneas are supposed to be released, along with some large scale items with sounds, and N-scale narrow gauge slate trucks.

It was but wasn't sarcasm. I'm like that.

Toad was released February 8th (I think it was; Bachmann tweeted it on their official Twitter page), and Oliver's release date was pushed to November of 2016 from April, which had been pushed from November of 2015.

Needless to say, I'm sure everyone here knows that I will be purchasing both, and that a review will be up on my channel.
