Hoo hoo, have a peek at this upcoming set, the Mad Dash on Sodor Set: http://service.mattel.com/us/productDeta...&siteid=27
Looks like it combines elements from previous releases such as Cranky's Spinning Cargo Drop, Risky Rails Bridge Drop, and a bit of Deluxe Spiral Track Pack as ways to bring them into the grey track TrackMaster.
It includes an R/C Thomas (which takes three AAA batteries and the controller takes two) and truck, Blue Mountain Quarry, Sodor Shipping Company, a hopper, Cranky at Brendam Docks (great, so around seven Crankys' in total now?), and some of the riser pieces from Gordon's Hill and Sodor Spiral Expansion Packs.
A pretty elaborate setup. Thomas first goes to a hopper to load a boulder, pass it down the Blue Mountain Quarry chute, get transformed to a barrel at shipping, slides down to Cranky who swings it to the loader for Thomas to pick up. Whew, that's a lot! Plus for good measure, Thomas can pick up the boulder later. I can picture it selling well, just wonder if it might be a problem to set up and work correctly, some of those big sets don't get good reviews. Oh yeah, and "May not work with all engines", what a surprise...
