Release #3: Annie/Clarabel Knapford Station Ffafquahr Station Terrence Bertier
Release #4: Circus Train Percy

Release #6: Toby Henrietta Elsie Fat Controller's Car Tar Wagons Mrs.Kyndley's Cottage
Release #7: The Royal Train
Release #8: Trevor Signal Box
Release #9: Skarloey (On30) Rheneas (On30) Sir Hanel (On30) Peter Sam (On30) Agnes, Ruth, Jemima, Lucy, Beatrice (On30)
Release #10: Duck Harold
Release #11: City of Truro Diesel
Release #12: Slate Trucks (On30) Rusty (On30) Cora, Ada, Jane, Mabel, Gertrude, Millicent (On30) Duncan (On30)

Release #18: Bill Ben BoCo
Release #19: Ballast Regulator Rex (N-Gauge track) Bert (N-Gauge track) Mike (N-Gauge track) Arlesdale trucks (N-Gauge track) Arlesdale Coaches (N-Gaige track) Clergymen's Car Willie's tractor

later Christopher's and TV characters would be released, I'm following the books, I the track gauge may not be correct for narrow gauge items, but that is to use easily-availbe track. On30 is O-Scale trains running on HO/OO gauge track.

I'd make console games much like the one that was released in Australia a few years back. I would have a game for "Misty Island Rescue" or "Hero of the Rails" available for all consoles.

I'd also make them available in more languages and i'd make the game more realistic with exiting and interesting missions etc

After looking at my old merchandise line, I decided I'd make a new one, more of a "What if there had been collectable Thomas models before the TV Series." They're basically a bit bigger than the Ertl models, and are denser, and have more details such as siderods, and stripes, and proper rails for them to run on (They're plastic, very much like the Meccano Percy tracks, but smaller and painted black)

I'd do something sort of like Take-N-Play, but to narrow gauge, and with more detail. It would have all the narrow gauge engines, including the other MSR engines on the Reverand's layout.

I'd get Revoltech to do a range of say Thomas, Percy, Edward & Toby for essentially large figures. Going by how they've treated Toy Story figures, they'd have a good go at the Thomas line... Woody for example: They would be pricey, but I'm sure they'd be great replicas

I would create a range where it's like HO/00 and 009 but you get special track and controllers and the releases would be in the order of each season but with one RWS character in the pack =3

I'd make a range that was much like ERTLs, with shapes true to that seen in the TV series (aside from some simplification for practical purposes), with separate tenders, slightly more solid wheels, and something like the magnets of the Take Along/Take n' Play ranges. Each pack would contain two items, either an engine and tender or two separate items.
Wave 1: Thomas (w/ Van) Edward Henry Gordon James Percy (w/ Cattle Truck) Toby + Henrietta Duck (w/ Brake Van) Emily Rosie (w/ Low Truck) Diesel (w/ Oil Tanker) Salty (w/ Flat Truck) Bertie & Elizabeth Annie & Clarabel Troublesome Trucks (Grey) Express Coaches Troublesome Vans Open Trucks (Brown)

I'd probably go for something just a bit smaller then O gauge but bigger then OO. They'd be non-electrified, and the engines would be made from diecast. Coaches and wagons would be plastic. The track would be similar to Tomica's blue track, except a different gauge and brown.
Adding to that, some items would come with plastic people (to scale with the trains), who could be sat into the coaches (sort of like Lionel's TTTE range).
Release #1 Train Packs Thomas w/ Annie and Clarabel (+ the Fat Controller) Percy w/ Mail Van and Brakevan (+ Tom Tipper) Toby w/ Henrietta and a Tidmouth Milk Tanker Duck w/ Red Composite Coach and Red Brake Coach
Locomotives - all those mentioned above plus Edward (+ Jem Cole) Henry Gordon (+ Gentleman of the Railway Board) James Diesel Mavis Emily
Rolling Stock - all those mentioned above plus Express Composite Coach [Green Line] Express Brake Coach [Green Line] Express Composite Coach [Red Line] Express Brake Coach [Red Line] Troublesome Truck [Each would have a random face] Box Van Tar Wagon Sodor Fuel Tanker Plain Grey Tanker Emily's Coaches [Two-pack] S. C. Ruffey
Vehicles Bertie
Train Sets Thomas' Train (includes Thomas, Green Line Composite and Brake, the Big Station, a double oval, a signalbox and signalman and some generic passengers.)
That's it for now, although I did have an idea for historical trains in the same 'range', if you will.

My idea would be sort of a Take-Along Thomas line, but it would be different from the Take Along line we know. It would be slightly smaller than Bachman's HO scale, but larger and more accurately detailed than the ERTL's. The line would be similar to(and even compatible with) the Hot Wheels Railroad product line from the '80s. Unlike that line, the engines and cars would be die cast metal rather than plastic, and the bogies would be designed differently(less prone to breaking than the Hot Wheels). The line would have Bertie, Bulgy, and other road vehicles that are compatible with most Hot Wheels playsets. The engines in the line would consist of all the engines from series 1 to 7, and series 17 on, along with many more Railway Series characters. Rolling stock, same deal, coaches, cars, etc. It would have playsets that fold out much like the Hot Wheels Railroad playsets, with sets of Knapford station, Elsbridge station and junction, Brendam Docks(with a workable Cranky, no less), and others.
Mattel should really take a look at this! Since they own Thomas, I think it's about time they brought back the old railroad line!

I would love to buy resin statues of the Thomas characters. Probably based on the "real" engines/RWS with the TV faces on them.
For example Thomas with Annie and Clarabel outside Ffarquar Station (A la the end of the opening titles) Tidmouth sheds: Thomas on the turntable and then clockwise Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Emily and Diesel (I guess) Bill and Ben, back to back with a break van in a middle.
That sort of thing.

If I had to make a merchandise line, then it would be similar to bandai but the narrow gauge engines are in scale.
Release 1 Ffarquhar branch Thomas, Percy, Toby, Daisy, Mavis, Ffarquhar quarry trucks, Henrietta, Victoria, and Annie & clarabel.
Release 2 Arlesburgh branch Duck, Oliver, Isabel, Dulcie, Toad, Alice, and Mirabel.
Release 3 The main line Gordon, Henry, James, Bear, Donald, Douglas, cream green and red express coaches.
Release 4 Brendam branch Edward, BoCo, Bill, Ben, china clay trucks and tankers.
Release 5 Rolling stock S.C. Ruffey, Fred Pelhay, rickety, U.L.P van, Thomas' special coach, old slow coach, salt vans, oil, tar, and milk tankers and Rocky.
Release 6 Off rail vehicles Bertie, Caroline, George, Terence, Trevor, Harold, and mail van.
Release 7 Skarloey railway Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Rusty, Duncan, Ivo Hugh, Fred, Duke, Mark V, Ada, Jane and Mabel, Agnes, Ruth, Lucy, Jemima, and Beatrice and slate trucks.

In terms of a model series I was always a fan of the old Tomica World Thomas sets, which sort of went like Thomas with Annie and Clarabel. So I wouldn't mind packs of characters with some rolling stock. Detailed like the Ertl (better scale though) stuff but with magnet couplings My list: Thomas with Annie and Clarabel Edward with 3 x Old Coaches (2 x Composite and Break) Henry with 2 x bogie vans and break van Gordon with 3 x Mint and Custard express coaches (2 x Composite and Break) James with 3 x Strawberry and Cream express coaches (2 x Composite and Break) Percy with 3 x troublesome trucks Toby with Henrietta and Victoria and Elsie Duck with Alice and Mirabel Donald with 2 x Sodor Oil Tankers, 1 x Tar Tanker Douglas with S.C.Ruffey, 1 x Tar Tanker and Toad Oliver with Isabel and Dulcie Bill with 2 x china clay wagons and break van Ben with 2 x china clay wagons and break van Daisy with 2 x Milk tankers and a cattle van BoCo with 3 x Red Branch Line Coaches (2 x composite and break) Bear with 3 x Orange (RWS) Express Coaches (2 x composite and break) Mavis with 3 x troublesome trucks Diesel with 3 x vans Emily with 3 x Emily's coaches (I propose we name them Ryu, Ken and Dan) Spencer with 3 x Spencer's coaches
Road Characters - Bertie, Trevor, Bulgy, Terence etc
