Hey yep I was referring to a victorian railways R class which is a hudson to which this engine resembles except for the number of wheels and a few other minor details which could be customized easily enough to make an almost clone.
I have added a small weight to the rear cavity of the engine and used a single flat rear locomotive coupling as a new permanent coupling between the locomotive and tender, tested and is working superbly and looks FANTASTIC. I will do this to Emily and Murdoch when he arrives and show all 3 in a mod video soon :)
i'm having trouble buying these trains now and I think you live where I do, sadly all my local stores have stopped carrying trackmaster (tomy) style trains the chuggers are gone, Thomas trackmaster and most of the wooden railway has also vanished, i'm wondering is toy trains are difficult to sell these days considering how shops are all about high volume sales and zero choice now
Hi Leo! Sadly I think you are right mate they are not great sellers these days. I do get around my area and always manage to sneak away to a toy department or 2 hehe. Kmart selected stores still have some older stock of trackmaster, most Kmarts do not stock them now though, TRU have been not re-ordering stock (I asked an employee and she said fisher price were rebooting the display) this was months ago and still no new stock. Target and Myer are good places to find Trackmaster. But as I type this I wonder if thr trackmaster range will suffer the fate of many previous brands and end up at the reject shop or disappear completely like tomy/tomica world.
Leo... I can vouch a little bit on this matter. Sadly most of the Wooden Railway has now been showing up in primarily Specialty Stores (Mom & Pop) here in America. In fact, Target seems to have dis-continued the wooden line within their stores and only seems to have the Trackmaster & Take N Play, with the later pretty much depleted stock. TRU is a good place to resort for finding the wooden railway here in America... I can confirm what Ucwepn is stating on Kmart, as they seem to have left over old stock of the Trackmaster line.
I Know The Feeling. Where I Live They Still Have Classic Trackmaster And Trackmaster 2 Are Also In My Area But Sadly Real Steam Percy Is Not In Stock At The Moment So I Got Mike, Switch Stop Signal Expansion Pack, Percy And Classic Trackmaster Flynn

Thats possible but I might wait to see what big American engines they are releasing with King of the railway

In America , Hank is A Pennsylvania Railroad Pre War K4 4-6-2
Good to here it worked for you
A small weight in the boiler would make the being pushed to one side to go away I do this to all my tender pushed trackmaster locomotives

In the USA the engine is pacific not a Hudson a pacific is a 4-6-2 while a Hudson is a 4-6-4. Hank is based off of a pennsy K4 pacific.
Did Hank come in a set with a red brake van aswell the photo of it 👨🦳
They should make a real steam producing version of all the engines. They only have Thomas now.
I always wanted hank and molly
Great! Can't wait to see that! also its nice you ordered a D51 Plarail, did I inspired you? LOL, from what website you ordered it?
Nah, I think it should be just water, because what if we run out of the oil?
nice laout
I wish I had hank
I like this version of hank more than the Mattel model
review sounds like a simple review. also what is the score?
are you ever going to get a mighty Mac
How about buying more hanks to look like other American steam trains
Congrats for getting this super rare TrackMaster Hank, a question: he is able to go through the TOMY Water Tower? Good video as always ucwepn.
When will do a review of Tomy Murdoch?
I'm having trouble buying this trains to and they only sell new trackmaster
1:01 unless u give him grease
Yes they should but not like the steam along thomas more like the old triang tank engines that used a drop or 2 of special oil.
in the other vid hank's piston moves already
God I hate it when track aster makes those engines with the tender moters they always come off the rails
Traingeek 833 same
Traingeek 833 I hate molly murdock Emily and hank's tender has power the engine its self is being pushed by it
thanks :)
