I wondered how I got a hold of one and there was no mention of it on the website.
It seems odd if it is marketed as a different model ("Thomas" - "2005") that it can't be released. The Bachmann Thomas range, while basic in detail, is perfect for detailing. Especially "Percy" and "Thomas". We don't have a LNER Tram Loco, W&U coach or Class 07 in RTR. Bahcmann have kind of shot themselves in the foot here.
