Gordon is definitely a great addition to the line-up. 👍 Gives us a bit of an insight as to how Henry will turn out if he utilises the same chassis as Gordon.
Bachmann are nailing it with these models, Gordon is absolutely stunning. I agree the price being almost $300AUD is quite a matter of concern. I think it is a trickle effect, Bachmann charge the exporter, the exporter charges the retailer and then to recover, the RRP of AU is much higher however, I think the prices should be assessed by Bachmann in particular, if their models are being far overpriced in other regions such as AU. Overall, amazing model and I'm looking forward to the Emily review. Also, Woodpecker Model Railways is a wonderful retailer, I believe you purchase from them also, based on your previous videos, I saw the shop labels on your boxes, and the family at Woodpecker are super lovely and very helpful.
Gordon is easily my favourite n scale model he is truly amazing! I cant wait for the Express coaches to release he'll look even better with them. Its just a shame Gordon dosent have cab details
And maybe … just maybe … swap to kato unitrack … it’s way better Not to mention Kato crossings are built in re railers discussed as crossings Not to mention they have compact curves that I think Gordon runs on good . And the whole thing of lack of room gets thrown out the window so to speak as all my models work fine ! With the controller being so god Dammn smoooooooth And the whole thing for that lot is so fun to me and I’d recommend it in a heartbeat !
@@MaxwellTheTrainFan I have lots of leftover Tomix track from this layout I want to use so I'm sticking with I - I really like it and it has the same think with the crossings :)
@@XtremeTrainz well you do you I mean I have a tiny bit of tomix track and … I will never use it I know I won’t . But … kato is working really nicely for me being British and everything and all my engines work good and amazing Not to mention my table I have (thanks to my moms spare room) I have a train room she calls it with a loop of kato M1 track and then a kato V5 with crossing to link the two together And my plan is to have a second smaller table of kato compact V2 set to be more portable … becasue sometimes my layout gets taken up for someone of my family to sleep in said room … not so hard since it’s a table and track laying on top of it all … However a tiny loop for my Percy thomas & James to run together in a minuscule area ! That’s the plan and my N scale journey so far !
Great review! To be fair I don’t think it is really reasonable though to expect Gordon to work on those tight curves as any large locomotive like that isn’t going to work on them. I do however think the crooked details are acceptable given the price. Overall this is a great model though!
The black areas on Gordon's tender were present throughout the show, despite the Hit seasons giving front of it red lining. Gordon's quite a grand release (besides his flaws) due to how wide and hefty he is. I take it that you don't have Henrietta ordered :/
FYI - I have purchased more Tomix Track that is Gordon and Emily compatible - stay tuned for a running session on the new tracks!
Yes yes yes !
Can’t wait
Tho … perhaps you could remove the front leading wheels temporarily so he will run ?
Nice review, excited to see how you upgrade your layout in the future!
@@DansTrainRoom I am working on making a new one - I realised I couldn't retrofit the old one BC of the way I built it oopsn

Awesome video @XtremeTrainz
N Scale Gordon is a huge improvement over the HO one
All we need is some express coaches for him to pull!
@@iceeblueburst03 yesss hopefully Bachmann gets them out soon!!!
That's our dude. Got n scale gordon.
@jonathanperez2320 I saw somewhere that Henrietta is out ??!! Sussing this immediately!
@@XtremeTrainzyes Henrietta is out! I just picked her up last night on Trainworld
