I have an idea: they could do the Emoji Series next! Imagine the potentially infinite possibilities! :facepalm:

These would be popular in Virginia in 6th grade science classes where we introduce the periodic table to students.

Maletrain:  I never thought of it that way, but the "smash atoms together" method of making new elements IS a form of kitbashing.

If only kit bashing were that easy...  :D

At least the model railroad kit bashes have bigger pieces to work with.  And much cheaper tools to do the work!!!

Now, about that "Tom Mann" car in the emoji series...   :tommann:  Would it come with a Plaid Membership to TRW.  Or would you need a Plaid Membership to qualify to buy one  :?  Emojis are so confusing.  ;)

I'm holding out for the DNA series (4 locomotives representing nucleotides, and a boxcar for each of the ~150,000 genes on a double helix strand).
Never force it; get a bigger hammer.

Well I just imagined throwing a Bachmann 0-6-0 and a Model Power 4-6-2 at the wall to create a BLI 2-6-6-4

How tall and what radii would the helix have to be to fit all the cars in their proper spots for the genome?

So is this a confirmed series, or was it just a joke? @MTLJoe

If you want an Emoji series, MT does do custom runs.  :D

~Ian:  The only experience I've had with Bachmann 0-6-0s is using the bodies from the real old ones to make Nn3 2-8-2s, using Marklin chassis.  Yes, they run better than the Bachmann ones!

I hope MTL sells a bunch so we can keep getting the good stuff that MTL makes.  8)
