Well my one arrived today, only was about £43 in Scotland and I am very impressed with the make and details. Hopefully have a video of him running next week
This is a really great video. I really want a bachmann Gordon. So for all of you that have one please stop complaining about the prices. Only thompsonline2 can talk snout prices. Thank you. And by the way you should make more vids about gordon
hey dude, i remember having similar trouble before with the model not running. it was because of the rods on a lionel locomotive. i had to remove some of them so that it could run ( i just figured out that i could get a warranty on the engines) but just try that, it might work, or get a warranty and send it back or just go to a train shop
the reason it may be so expensive might be because its themed and apparently theming something apparently means they can charge you a whole lot more for it
If he doesnt rin so well hook him up to an other train and run is around the track alot of times and it should work i did it with percy and he works fine now.
@drwhoboy7 thanks a lot. i try to do my best and strive for quality. before I got all my models I tried looking up reviews and they were all pretty bad and now I don't want anyone getting a bad deal on these models so I do my best to describe them.
LOL at how narky you get about the prices. Where I come from, Bachmann Thomas is about A$65, and most of the other locos go up from there. The carriages are $40-odd (and you can't get the red ones for love or money), the 4-wheel wagons are about $25, and the tank wagons (are you sitting down?) are - THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS EACH! That's something worth getting angry over (Hornby TTTE tank wagons are $15-$16).
I Have Six Blue Engine Models Were Two Normal Thomas Models, Bachmann Winter Holiday Thomas With Removable Santa Hat and Snowplow, Two Gordon Models and Bachmann Edward Model In My Own Thomas Model Trains Collection. I'm Not Getting Hornby Gordon's Express Coaches and Hornby Annie and Clarabel. I Have Bachmann Gordon's Express Coaches and Bachmann Annie and Clarabel. Bachmann Gordon's Express Coaches Is Compatible With Hornby Gordon, Percy, Duck, Stepney and James Models and Bachmann Annie and Clarabel Is Compatible With Hornby Thomas, Percy and Duck Models. I Ran Hornby Gordon Is Compatible With Bachmann Gordon's Express Coaches In the Brown Room. I Ran Hornby Thomas Is Compatible With Bachmann Annie and Clarabel For HO PowerTech Train Controller. I Like Running Thomas Model Trains For Using HO Train Controllers.
I have Bachmann Red Coaches is compatible with Hornby Thomas, Percy, Duck and James Models in my own Thomas Model Train Collection! I have Three Bachmann Blue Freight Cars and One Bachmann Tidmouth Milk Tank Car with Bachmann Brake Van!
@oliverhrichardson yeah but they've already got a bachmann diesel we could just wait till they release one also in Britain if you get them on eBay they're cheaper
Gordon: You watch me little youtubers, as I rush by with the express. That would be a fine sight for you. Idk its a fine sight for me how about you others?
Or the books. They were at least considerate enough to provide a tender that was more or less the right shape, but dear old Hornby couldn't be arsed to retool Gordon's running plate.
ZeldaTheSwordsman He should also have LMS underparts. It is a bit annoying but as long as he looks something like the later Railway Series Pictures its OK. But I do agree that Hornby did cut corners with the running plates on Gordon and Thomas (post breakfast should be straight).
Gordon: o the indignity I have to be owned and ran by @thompsononline2 Narrator: Gordons fire was slow to start so Thompson oline2 had a lot of difficulty with him 🤣🤣🤣
Well my one arrived today, only was about £43 in Scotland and I am very impressed with the make and details. Hopefully have a video of him running next week
YES!!! I Am Not The Only One Who Loves Looking At The Side Rods
This is a really great video. I really want a bachmann Gordon. So for all of you that have one please stop complaining about the prices. Only thompsonline2 can talk snout prices. Thank you. And by the way you should make more vids about gordon
@kolekearns im not sure but they're the kind that come in expansion sets so i think they're the most basic ones which are 18
5:15 "He's struggling up the hill!"
wouldn't be the first time ;)
the Hornby Gordon is two repaints in one, a Stanier tender and Flying Scotsman's body

I Had That Coupling Problem When I First Got Edward But Then I Found A Missing Screw Which Must Have Come Of When I Got Him Out
I understand because the Bachman’s stuff costs a lot of money and the track is just not the best it’s hard to run these this so I soooo understand! :D
the reason it may be so expensive might be because its themed and apparently theming something apparently means they can charge you a whole lot more for it
Your reviews Are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
5 Stars!!!!!!
I have Two Gordon Models, Two Percy Models, Two Edward Models and Two James Models in my Thomas Model Trains Collection.
hey Thompsonline2, what kind of turns do you use? like, wat are the radius's of them? 18', 22', etc.
Gordon Is One Of My Favorite Engines From The Show He's My #4 Favorite Locomotive
Where I get my trains the trucks are around $17 and the coaches are $40! Gordon is near $100! You have no right to complain! :)
If he doesnt rin so well hook him up to an other train and run is around the track alot of times and it should work i did it with percy and he works fine now.
How did you do the layout and wiring?
with the model power poblem have u cheeck that all the wire r tigth?
Our prices are much higher in Oz, and I have seen the tank wagons (Sodor Fuel, Oil and Tar) for AU$37.50 each! You have it easy.
which train set did you get? was it a thomas and friend set?
That little rod bit on Henry onthe middle drive wheel (not the rod connected to cylinder) is very loose I can move it with my finger
where i get my bachmann models the frieght cars are $8 and coaches are $15
i already have the red coches,the express coches,and spencer's coche.and i agree with you the red coches do look good.
looks like u got a faulty gordon mine was great untill after 2 years when the side rods got tangled and wreaked so i have a 2 wheel drive gordon
Were did u get the $7 coaches at pls respond
I got Bachmann Gordon Model in 10 years ago!
I Have Bachmann Gordon and Hornby Gordon Models For My Own Thomas Model Train Collection.
@spiderduuude they might but idk...i get mine online or at a hobby shop
Last time I Gordon he started smoking...Bachmann didnt put smoke effects in the TTTE&F line... 0_o
(Dont worry, I know why he was smoking!!)
You should try adding a hornby duck to your collection.They are cheaper you know.
@drwhoboy7 thanks a lot. i try to do my best and strive for quality. before I got all my models I tried looking up reviews and they were all pretty bad and now I don't want anyone getting a bad deal on these models so I do my best to describe them.
the first time he went up the hill it was like he was sayin "edward , get your tender over here NOW!!!"
I Hope Bachmann Gordon's Coaches Is Compatible With Hornby Gordon Model.
They are

There's a bachmann Gordon set?
There used to be. They discontinued it though.
What a shame. The Gordon set would be so nice.
Gordon is my favourite

bachman gordon's tender has lots of detail
@oliverhrichardson yeah but they've already got a bachmann diesel we could just wait till they release one also in Britain if you get them on eBay they're cheaper
great video
when you said you are not getting gordons express coaches does you mean you are not getting the green coaches
@Henryfan3 awesome idea man!!!
You just got a subscriber
right the prises are so high on amozon bachmann thomas is like $99.00
I had bachman toys when you was little
100th comment but besides the point he looks good and in britain the prices are no different
I like bachman modles better than hornby modles
@MrThomasfan01, me too i love side rods
you're a true friend. ya know that?
I love gordon He's one of my favorite engines
I like your show
My favorite.
The exp coaches are only $20 thats not alot
Yeah thanks man!!! =D
Gordon: You watch me little youtubers, as I rush by with the express. That would be a fine sight for you.
Idk its a fine sight for me how about you others?
this is better than hornby because the face is the right shade of grey and the side rods move better.
gordon is my favorite
Hornby Gordon has good details on the wheels but everything else is not according to the show
Or the books. They were at least considerate enough to provide a tender that was more or less the right shape, but dear old Hornby couldn't be arsed to retool Gordon's running plate.
Because the Hornby one is based on the Railway Series and a real Gresley A1 Pacific.
Uh, even in the Railway Series Gordon's running plate is supposed to have that smooth, flowing curve.
ZeldaTheSwordsman He should also have LMS underparts. It is a bit annoying but as long as he looks something like the later Railway Series Pictures its OK. But I do agree that Hornby did cut corners with the running plates on Gordon and Thomas (post breakfast should be straight).
Post breakfast is boring and less recognized tho, and Awdry apparently later admitted it was a foolish idea
reason why Gordon wheelslips: Would you like to be a train pulling coaches ten times heavier than to scale???
that could be the poblem it could had work los
couldn't have said it better myself
On Amazon he is
$76.56
man bachman Gordon is fast
@legokidize thank you
Gordon now works because you told the viewers about his "problems"
Is this exchange why I am blocked on your site?
5:15 Gordon always has problems with hills lol
dude you have 3 brake coaches XD
you seem to not have an idea why for a lot of things...
Gordon: o the indignity I have to be owned and ran by @thompsononline2
Narrator: Gordons fire was slow to start so Thompson oline2 had a lot of difficulty with him 🤣🤣🤣
@spiderduuude no not at toys r us
send gordon to the train dump yard and have spencer run the line
Haha good one brother it would his put his poor engine out of it's misery 🤣😂🤣
I Have That
My percy does the same thing he doesnt even run
I hate the red express coaches the green ones suit him better
Paul Dosanjh yea I agree
its just yours
"I don't know why..."
i don't have to shake my gordon
I like the Hornby Gordon better
you should get a new gordon
bachmann is bitter then hornby
pease get music! and i like
2:41 Yo' face :D
For some reason I don't like the face it is just a bit strange
Lucky
Maybe you have a fetish for Side Rods lol
No, they're $7 cheaper than the Gordon coaches.
@theshedrailway no
:D
may be Gordon doesn't like you
