Fisher Price - Thomas and Friends Wood Gordon Engine & Car

Product Information

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. At 25 years, Wooden Railway was the longest-running and most popular Thomas & Friends merchandise line (with ERTL being the second longest-running at 20 years). 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. 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. Hank's model does not have a front coupler like other Wooden Railway engines and his television series appearance. Interestingly, Connor and Caitlin's wooden models have front couplers, while their front couplers are concealed in the TV series.

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.

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) Features Skarloey with Gravel Cars; Gravel Cars are repaints of the Boulder Cars from Rheneas and the Boulder Cars. Much like the range in 2013, any vehicle with more than six wheels has a plastic chassis instead of wood.

The 2022 Gordon is the first version in the Wooden Railway range to contain the accurate amount of wheels for his tender at six instead of the usual four earlier versions received, as well as the first version to have an accurate dome size. Comes with magnetic connectors to easily attach other engines, tenders, cargo cars and vehicles (Each sold separately and subject to availability.)

Customer reviews

While Whiff's model has the correct amount of wheels, this results in him being longer than engines who should be the same size as him.

Being one of the most detailed iterations of the Wooden Railway range, one of the new features for some of the steam engines is their firebox glow reflected in their cab windows and doorways.These improved designs were manufactured until 2002, when they were replaced with a third generation of design, which included new and more detailed faces. 2011 saw another slight re-design in the form of new faces to coincide with the recent CGI Series switchover. This range introduced counterweights; something that was only seen on two engines before, which were Big City Engine and Push Along Thomas. Much like the Take Along and original Take-n-Play range, some of the models have altered wheel arrangements due to size constraints. As a result, Nia is depicted as a 2-6-0 much like her All Engines Go redesign, while Gordon, Hiro and Rebecca are depicted as 4-6-0s.
