Based on the popular TV series Chuggington™ that airs weekdays on Disney Channel’s Disney Junior programming block for kids and their families, and daily on the new 24-hour Disney Junior basic cable and satellite channel, HO Scale Chuggington electric Locomotives, Rolling Stock, and Accessories are arriving from Bachmann Trains in 2013. Kids can join their favorite "trainees" —Brewster, Wilson, and Koko— as they ride the rails pulling Chuggington cars that include a Box Car, Low-Sided Wagon, Flat Wagon, Hopper, and Passenger Carriage. Vee, the depot dispatcher, will be there to keep all the Chuggers on schedule.
