Second King of the Railway Trailer

Second King of the Railway Trailer 

Found on the new Go Go Thomas! US DVD is the brand new King of the Railway trailer. It gives us a much better look at new characters Connor and Caitlin and includes scenes from the original trailer that we saw a few weeks ago. 


As well as getting an alternative view of the castle we also see that Stephen finds his way to the docks and the Blue Mountain quarry, so some new locations to what we knew previously. The quality of this trilaer is much better, but many still regard the CGI as unfinished, but we shall have to wait and see. 

King of the railway is due to premier in the UK, US, Germany and Australia this September

Bachmann Duck Delays

Bachmann Duck Delays

It seemed that it was full speed ahead for Duck, he was coasting down the hill, running easily with the wind whistling past, suddenly there was a delay. Duck's release time was moved back, now yet again it has been moved back further! 


The much anticipated Duck was Initially due to be released in January, he was then pushed back to the 28th of February. A rumoured estimate of the 31st of March appeared, but that was not true. 

A release date will be released when Bachmann are ready so for now we are just going to have to wait...again!

Lionel's 2013 Range

Lionel's 2013 Range 

Much like Bachmann a couple of weeks ago, Lionel have released their online catalogue for 2013 and much like Bachmann it contains a couple of surprises! Thomas and his coaches are decorated ready for Christmas, a bit early perhaps, but nonetheless they are ready to puff round your tree! Thomas has three interchangeable faces as well. 


Turning the page we see that James, Percy and Diesel are also available in remote control. As well as three updated CGI interchangeable faces they also have sound affects, could be a good thing, equally could be painfully annoying. Some of the trucks are painted with Sodor locations which is good to see. 

Click below to view the online catalogue, really nice setup, with the wooden table in the background. If you want to zoom in just click. It is a shame though that most companies just release their brochures as online files. I don't know about you, but I always enjoy flicking through a brochure, also can't really add an online one to your collection! 

These items are due to be in American shop later this year.
