Bill, Ben, Stepney, Hornby Diesel and Percy (sold on his own) have been discontinued, why do you think this happened

[simierski]

@Legoworks5 - both Stepney and Percy return to the range this year (2012).

[simierski]

@birca04 Or I could just pretend this video didn't happen and bring the original team Thomas back anyway...!

[simierski]

@whitehousefilms Just a spare unpainted body shell.

[simierski]

@0903Thomas Humour?

[simierski]

@leokimvideo Just seen one myself - more destructive testing in order, perhaps!

[simierski]

@tecnologyreviews - you did see the "warning: humour alert!" and the fact I actually categorically stated "buy the bachmann model" at the end, didn't you...? Oh no, of course not...!

[themarioinatux]

i bought the hornby diesel and i had nightmares for 5 weeks

[Bluesbreaker2010]

i just loved the first impressions section. 'Here is the Hornby Model' **tumbleweed** 'Moving on this is the Bachmann model it has...' LOL

[TheNw1218]

The engines are forgetting that there's still team 2010 Thomas. Team evil should never find out there's another team Thomas

[eryhv]

@themarioinatux That's why i'm getting the Bachmann model of diesel.

[william2jack3]

Bachmann Diesel sums up what Hit Entertainment has done to Thomas. The face isn't even grinning, no hint of villainy about the character, yet on the programme he is still supposed to be a bad guy. I don't care if I'm given it free. My model railway is reserved for Bachmann Duck 2012!

[octivenote]

Could you review Hornby Stepney?

[themarioinatux]

@simierski there bringing back Spencer to the range in hornby

[Chris9017]

Nice man's diesel versus a Bully's Diesel. LOL. 

[Trainboy107]

Team Evil Cheated!

[ThomasPercyandToby2]

@ossoyoos In my opinion, Murdoch and Spencer beat Stepney hands down.
