Thomas & Friends Trackmaster Diesel Vs Diesel Gordons Hill Toy Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Thomas and Friends Trackmaster trains use a new Trackmaster track system. Lets compare a classic Trackmaster Diesel to the new Trackmaster 2 Diesel via some track trials over the classic Trackmaster tracks. The results will surprise you but which diesel is the more powerful toy train? I unbox and review the Trackmaster expansion pack Gordon's Hill which is an impressive Trackmaster track pack. It's long, high and steep and very easy to build. This track expansion pack really shows how dynamic the new Trackmaster 2 system is compared to the classic Trackmaster or older TOMY blue track system. With this new system there is a real feeling that you can keep building up higher and higher. It brings a whole new playing adventure to Sodor Island Thomas & Friends playtime.
I know many Thomas fans and lovers of the TOMY blue and classic Trackmaster don't like the new Trackmaster trains. I feel it's important to look at the history of the classic Trackmaster system so we can get our heads around the changes. So I show an old unboxed Percy which reminds us of how things used to be. Seeing the classic Trackmaster range will bring back some fond memories. But lets also remember the nightmare of different internal designs and battery configurations between the Thomas & Friends character models. There used to be AA, AAA, C batteries used across the range. All these different motor and battery configurations added much cost to the toy company and it's obvious that Trackmaster 2 is all about applying a standard internal design to the Thomas and Friends Trackmaster characters. This simplification has some major advantages to the toy company and consumers, but are we left with a better looking and performing toy? Does a child playing with this new design really care if it looks a little bit different? I'm sure if there is more fun to be had it will be a winner, because playing with toys is all about fun.
To see how good the new Trackmaster system is look at the large Trackmaster playset in the link below.

That Tomy Thomas certainly sounds like it’s had better days
I Love the Gordon's Hill Expansion Pack! I Wish I had That, Too!
R.I.P. old trackmaster trains.

As Much as I'm keen into the new Track System I still don't like the new redesigned engines. And as far as performance goes, I find the old school Trackmaster Trains more superior. Not to mention Mattel has missed an opportunity to Reintroduce Oliver so you'd have to get lucky & buy one online at a ridiculous price.

Leo, I loved to watch any TRACKMASTER 2 videos/reviews! So much fun! Thanks
Who's still watching this nostalgia
Everyone will miss that old sound except parents.
Haha fantastic, Gordon's hill is amazing, it's huge. I would like to see Edward trialled next!!
when you said happy gas on diesel it was so funny
The Gordon set reminds me of the stanly set
I will most likely enjoy trackmaster for the rest of my life
This looked like a giveaway!
Darn would like to see a giveaway of the track master 2 stuff because my op shop isn't selling toys now
I love Pinkie Pie in this.
I really saw this new system as an opportunity to start over again in Trackmaster, seeing as I sold my collection a while back. It's not a perfect system, but still very enjoyable and fun to collect.
Every time I see a happy Devious Diesel, I think he's mentally snapped, and about to go on a murderous rampage.

Well that was alot of fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun Leo.
Great video as always Leo! I really learned a lot about the new Trackmaster system. I like how dynamic the new sets are. And also the engines don't look that bad either. Having one type of battery is very convenient I must say. It's very interesting how low the undercarriage of the TrackMaster 2 is...I wonder why they did that. If it were higher it would have worked so well with the classic Trackmaster track. Overall it's a pretty solid toy and I don't collect trackmaster myself, but I think I might go out and start buying them. They do seem pretty cool.
Also, I honestly have never seen a Trackmaster flora either. I collect mostly take n play and even some of them such as D199 and Harvey Ive never seen in store.
I bought mine online but I really think they should make all models, in all ranges available in all countries.
Looking forward to the new vids Leo. :)
***** I don't understand the changes under the new Trackmaster Thomas trains either. All I know is this change has the new engines getting hooked up on some TOMY and classic Trackmaster track parts. It's almost as if someone did not check the clearance, or is this a ploy to have us all buy the new track system.

to stop the trackmaster 2 from stopping on trackmaster 1 and tomy track you need to disassemble the engine then file the activation tab down. hope this helps!
Awesome review Leo...one of your best. I remember as kid I would love looking through the toy catalogs that came in the post....but now I look forward to seeing your toy reviews. I still prefer the Tomy trains (we have loads) but I like the colours used in this new track...why did it take them 30 years to finally get the colour right.
90s kids for the win :D
I'd love to see Edward and That "A close Shave For Duck" Duck :^D
When I was Seven or Eight I was able too Unscrew any of my Trackmaster Trains...Future Seven Or Eight year olds Might not...
@amberdavis8146 Aye! Good for you! Maybe past me was wrong :p
Im 10 and i know how to replace the batteries and take the trains apart
I know its way too late, but I know how to remove corrosion from and engine and replace their motor in case they stopped working
I could do that at the age of 5
I am now 14 … I now paint them and to a good standard too I thjnk
I've Got The Ducks Close Shave. I'm Planning To Get Another Tracknaster Thomas Like The One That Really Struggled
The good old days that we watched all his vids.
I'd like to see a Duck vs Diesel race and battle over sets and obstacles! Good job!
Congratulations on your 500th video Leo
William Milne thanks...I never knew that.
1:36 Foreshadowing
Wow that bring backs so many of the engines and I had Molly Hank and Emily
Goofy ahh pfp
Wow! That looks pretty fun. :)
I might have to get one track packs, even though I don't really collect Trackmaster anymore.

The old Trackmaster will always be the best in my opinion!

Maybe an Ultimate Review of this new system in the future.....? Please?
I used to have Flora. I had an extensive collection, but I donated it all to charity.
Ah I remember when I owned the early Trackmaster engine.
I miss the old TOMY Thomas
This is an amazing Set so I may get into track master for this set.
Leokimvide I agree it is sad that they use plastic insted of real metal like the old take n plays/take alongs but i do have one quistion,woud you maybe consider doing a video on the new take n play thank you for your time very much i love your work
Nice unboxing!
How about the next video you can review the Thomas Starter Set & a comparison between the Thomas that came with the set & the Thomas with the CGI face that came with the Blue Box car & see which one can climb up Gordon's Hill faster.
I think you really nailed it on the head in this review; these new Trackmaster engines etc might make a better toy, but certainly not a better collectable. I suppose this is what happens when only 1 toy company makes all the toys for a Brand-there is no incentive to improve as if you want Thomas you have to buy from Mattel, who now wins twice (As the owners of the show and merchandises).
Look forward to more set reviews, will be interesting to see how play changes with the new features.
Do I see a giant hill in the future by connecting all the expansion sets you bought?
The redesign track looks like power trains
derpmanrules I agree, maybe this was done to blast power trains out of the water..or should I say train yard.
Would be nice to see your thoughts on the water tower set
Blue Tank Engine Pictures I will compare the classic TM starter to the new one
sweet sounds great
It’s hard to believe it’s been ten years since trackmaster 2 released
I agree with Tanya you can try to make a set with the past tracks and the tracks we have today, but it might not work so u can give it a shot if you want.
I'm 10 years old and I still like this stuff you know I got a pretty big room full of these
For engine on the next video, how about Henry? I found it difficult to find one 6 months ago before this new version was released.
I went to Meijer on Friday and saw the classic track master set with diesel about to fall out
Oh man.... I remember buying only the Tomica/Tomy Thomas and Friends, but the last lot I remember purchasing was up to Season 7 characters... Long long time ago....

I have a bunch of TOMY track and I also used to have this iPad game where you could build a wooden train track. I personally prefer the real stuff over the fake stuff you do on a screen. I still like other iPad games and in fact I'm writing this on an iPad. I just don"t understand how somebody could find a train track building game fun. Other games are fun but not that one. I love my real tracks and I play with them either everyday after school or on weekends.
It was interesting to see your thoughts on the new redesign TrackMaster, although I'm not too surprised you went with Devious Diesel to be honest. ;)
The only engines I have are Gator and Timothy, as I've sold off an additional 3 Gators for funds to procure only more of Gator for his rolling stock and cargo. Timothy's cargo, the clay rubble or whatever it may be, is nice, but not really worth buying numerous ones for said cargo piece.
There are many pros and cons to this system but, before converting Gator, Timothy, and Gator's rolling stock, Gator was able to pull all eight cars from the redesign that I own, and Timothy did as well on the old TrackMaster track, and even on a flat run of straight TOMY tracks. I won't say that I encourage the purchase of the new track system, as I don't have any of the track, but the track does have a more realistic element towards it in design, yet that bobbing or inconsistency to stay flat and level is something I'm not too fond of as a model railroader.
The silent motors are a welcome to me for the filming aspect, but nothing will ever replace the loud whirring of the older motors as the engines can easily haul a large consist behind them at speed. Granted that these newer engines may be much faster than some of the older ones, my 2004 Neville was able to gradually catch up and overtake both Gator and Timothy with ease; I may try that again, but only Neville (A.K.A. Stephen the Q1) was the one to overtake both and outpace them.
A great deal of cons to the few pros, but I'm not going to encourage the purchase due to my personal preferences. I'd love to see your opinions and thoughts of Gator though.
HankAmericanEngine Funny about the motor sound, I used that sound to be the engine sound on my Ultimate Trackmaster Review, it ended up becoming a great trains moving sound. Looks like Gator will be the next to be looked at..But I know nothing about him has I have not seen the new film...It's not even showing where I live from what I can work out.
Oh my. I do know that some UA-camrs have put both the U.S. and U.K. versions onto the web; thanks to a friend in the U.K., I've got both versions to watch/listen to.
As for the motor, each battery gave each motor its own personality. AA-battery powered motors had either a loud growling noise or a soft purr, like the C-Cell batteries. Each motor had a robust and unique personality to their sounds.

On that old Percy, I look at over my bed and see all of the sets that were on the panflet but I wish I could just go buy everything from the shelves, as we recently just got "Trackmaster 2" sets at the stores, going out to buy a set Gordon and Victor tomorrow! Can't wait, and if your wondering I'm in New Zealand
P.S First
i have new verison of percy trackmaster
There is a connecting piece to the old style, I've seen it before in videos.
I love that tomy trackmaster
i love tomy thomas and more trains

It's interesting. You can you can see Mattel's cost cutting measures all over the place. e.g. the new diesel's rear wheels have holes for coupling rods yet he doesn't have any (Obviously the one in the show does but hardly any companies bother to render them on toys)
Also Gordon's Hill? Can you really call that a hill? Surely it's more Gordon's bridge. Then again it looks like no bridge I've ever seen :P
I liked the Totally Tidmouth set as well. (I'm not biased at all)
Playing with explosives? Old habits die hard eh Leo?
Mattel - Top quality toys (As long as you don't drop them... or look at them funny)
You really have it in for Pinkie Pie today don't you Leo? What's up? The smile song getting on your nerves? ^^
I Totally Agree, I never remember there being a bridge on the hilll in the old series
tidmouthmilk12 I could write a very long list of the cost cutting going on, basically we are getting a downsize and this seems to be the way Mattel will hold onto profit margins as children move towards apps and games. This is the toy battle zone right now.
0:08 holy cow that mowing noise 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think Mattel wants us to buy the new tracks so they gets more money
I think the Gordon hill expansion pack is great but the bridge is kinda weird at the top of the hill
I want to see the new TM track connecter to the original TM track connected to the TOMY/PLARAIL track.
This is the first time I've watched Leokimvedio!!!
Please do another Ultime TrackMaster Review, reviewing everything seen in the beginning of the video
Ahhhh...Old Tomas from 2005-2007 those times ;)
Dana Lunderville As I remember it took a very long time for the early series 1 Trackmaster to become popular. It was replacing what many classed as a classic toy train system TOMY blue track. It was in 2006 I picked up the TOMY Ultimate Thomas set (for the amazing price of $150), and maybe it would be really prudent to bring this set out and compare it to whats seen today. It is an awesome set, so large you never needed to buy another playset.

I noticed my Trackmaster 2 Thomas would get caught up on Misty Island track curves, the longer special ones, and he’d also get caught up on that blinking light mine piece that comes with that glowy green track and the tunnel.
00:00:16 or 00:25:12 cross that bridge and come for the hill ride WHOW OH NO!!!!!
Track. Master. ,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. and. 9
Now he's alive!!!!!
Train Four I was worried for a moment I was going to give Diesel mouth to mouth to revive him...glad it never came to that..imagine the diesel oil lips if you kissed him
I really saw how cool it was
I have 2 ideas how about try a trackmaster 2 train vs another trackmaster 2 train Man it is fun to play with toys
The sense of relief...
thomas is awesome!
I want to go out and buy a set but I don't want to be seen at the store :P
0:25 DONT DIE ON ME DIESEL PLEASE!!
I guess you could say that video was "derailed" 😁
In the UK,the new trackmaster 2 in asda costs around £14 while a tomy devious diesel costs around £7,tomy is more rare now and should be more expensive
Well, I haven't got any New trackmaster 2 stuff yet, but I might start with the Busy Quarry set, and then get some elevation. You should review the most massive trackmaster 2 set with your son: the Mad Dash on Sodor set.
I have a track masters for years and I like the new and old ones
All this is sure and me it's at the Americans are driving the Thomas franchise into the ground
jn
+ROSANA LIRIANO k
That offends me because I am American
@@Kuriboh1008but it's true no matter how offensive it is
My son really loves watching you do this, but he wants the bridge at the beginning of the video the brown bridge. Could you tell me where to get it or would it be not available now.
do another video like this and I like this video
All of them!!!!!!!!!!!!☺️😊😌😉✌🏿
That's funny you tapped Diesel like you would a microphone
Flora is going pretty rare now. 1 was a factory error, and 2 both broke. She was pretty detailed and realistic
This is very interesting seeing that the old trackmaster desiel is stronger
Starworld101 It caught me by surprise as well, you can't classify the new engines as stronger, and being fast does not mean stronger.
I miss the old TOMY
It’s really surprising that diesel stop working even when mine fell they still worked which I think is what they fixed with them renaming it motorized when it was trackmaster back in the good old days
I want Lady back!
Emily Mason so does Thomas ;)
Hay que te la vida que no tiene nada de que el cáncer
Emily Mason i heard you want Golden dead
The bridge is actually a fence from 1984 or 1992
That $1000 went to a good cause.
26:19 WAIT DIESEL COME BACK!
20:06 running board is fine
20:41 running board is broke
They should've never changed the design on Trackmaster. They should've stuck with producing classic Trackmaster.
have you ever thought of connecting all the tracks from the past to the ones today with the past engines to the new engines?

I love old tomy and early trackmaster
Do Edward next, he seems to be pretty controversial
I wish I had that Thomas stuff
So many different styles of trackmaster track out there.Say, Leo, what set is the best in your opinion for getting the greatest amount of straight track pieces?

Hi, I would like to see a review on the Sodor Spiral Expansion Pack, as I would like to know if the classic Trackmaster works on that spiral. I would also like to see the other expansion packs. Thanks.
SpongeEngine423 One thing I have found out is the new Thomas trains will not run on the Trackmaster Midnight Ride playset, I was doing some testing before making this years Halloween video and there are problems in the mine and loading area, hmmm the cross compatibility is not good at all.
leokimvideo That stinks, but I can't wait to see your Halloween video this year! I'm thinking of maybe using your idea from last years Halloween video on some of my Take Along engines
*original trackmaster percy package comes with the car and percy connected*
*value goes up by 500%*
