Customer reviews

The Halloween Engine in the eighth season episode, Halloween, was recycled from one of Gordon's scrap models.

Percy may not be a thrill-seeker but he’s good-natured and always happy to help. He can be a little shy, but you couldn’t ask for a better friend. Changes A total of fifteen characters exclusively from the Railway Series have been released in the Wooden Railway range. However, before Mike was introduced to the television series, a total of sixteen characters were released.A flipped version of the sixth illustration in the story Edward and Gordon from the C. Reginald Dalby edition of The Three Railway Engines is featured as a painting on the wall next to the baggage drop in the Knapford Station set. Gordon had a winch that was first used to tow Percy, mounting over his centre lamp iron and front coupling. However, it disappeared after it's second use, which was when he used it to rescue Thomas. Gordon is like a guardian. He's strong, physically and mentally, so sometimes he seems wise beyond his years. This means he looks out for his friends and does anything possible to help when they get into trouble. He is also the Flying Scotsman's brother. In late 2017, twenty-five years after the debut of the Wooden Railway line, it was retired and replaced with Wood. The replacement was originally announced to take place in 2018, but ended up happening sooner. The Wooden Railway merchandise line for the Thomas & Friends franchise was created by Roy Wilson of Learning Curve in 1992, with the line becoming publicly available in 1993. These original models were primarily constructed with painted wood, along with metal used in the coupling magnets and axles and plastic for the wheels and faces. These models were relatively simple, with simple wooden stubs for the funnel and dome, while details such as windows, whistles and buffer beams were omitted.

Gordon is a big blue express engine. He is Flying Scotsman's only remaining brother and Mallard, Green Arrow, Spencer and The Flying Thistle's cousin. When Gordon was streamlined to compete in the Great Railway Show, he ran under the name The Shooting Star. Features Soap-Sud covered Thomas with red funnel, soap suds covered Percy, bubble liquid car and hay covered Sir Topham Hatt's car. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the line was overhauled and the majority of the models underwent major redesigns. The wooden funnel and smokebox were replaced with a separate plastic smokebox with a more realistic funnel. The tender engines received an additional upgrade, with a moulded plastic coal pile for their tenders. This range introduced counterweights; something that was only seen on two engines before, which were Big City Engine and Push Along Thomas.Note: ** means that a character appeared in the original series, but is based on their appearance in Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go.) Model

Bertram's original model depicts him in his proposed tank engine form, with a completely new design. In his TV series appearance, he uses Duke's model with Smudger's face. When he was reintroduced in 2016, he was given a tender, but retained his bunker. Harvey's model's cab is oddly short to accommodate his hook. He is also brown instead of maroon red and does not have a boiler. Gordon, Henry, Thomas and James are the only engines to appear in every special. The latter three, however, are the only ones to speak in every special. Young conductors can send Gordon racing along to deliver coal across the island of Sodor with this Thomas & Friends™ Wooden Railway push-along toy train from Fisher-Price®. Crafted from sustainably sourced wood and designed to look just like the character from the show, this Gordon Engine and Coal-Car makes a great gift for any Thomas & Friends™ fan. Thomas & Friends™ Wooden Railway toys are built to last, so young conductors can create their own railway adventures again and again. Initially released with Bertram and the Scrap Cars; later reissued individually in 2012 and 2016 for limited release.In late 2011, TOMY bought out Learning Curve and as such acquired the rights to the Wooden Railway line. They sold the products previously planned to be released by Learning Curve for early 2012. The products due to be released in late 2012 coinciding with the special Blue Mountain Mystery were cancelled because Learning Curve had only developed the computer generated prototypes, before they were acquired by TOMY. Most of these cancelled releases with the new CGI style models were re-constructed by TOMY and sold under their name and a few others were later released by Fisher-Price. TOMY held the licensing until the end of 2012. Features Winter Wonderland Thomas, Paint-Splattered Thomas and Breakfast Thomas; reissued in 2013 with the Breakfast Thomas being replaced with a Fish-Splattered Thomas. Volume VII (Note: Tiger Moth's propeller differs from the production model, suggesting the one seen here was a prototype) Flying Scotsman's reintroduced model features the British Railways logo with "Mainland Railways" printed in place of the British Railways text. face with printed 2D details, longer length, rivet, smokebox handrail and cab handrail details, painted buffers, molded dome, molded coal in tender, larger wheels with spoke details, four leading wheels on engine and six wheels on tender, detailed cab)
