Trainboy90's Purchases

Remember the Gordon I found on Twitter 2 months ago, I finally have my own now. He is actually a decent model in person, his face looks like the 2009 verison.



The unique thing about this Gordon is that his name is engraved onto the Chassis in the back, a nod to the HiT Toy Company days.

I'm going to Preorder Plarail Lorenzo & Beppe and Gina between 5-10 days before they get released.

I couldn't find the previous post it was in, even though it was literally on the page before. Until the Plarail redesign, there was no (legit) AA battery Gordon like the 2012 Edward, Henry and James. This probably wasn't a real prototype. It was most likely made by a third party that somehow had access to the moulds from before 2014. I'd assume they took the shell and running board from the C tender Gordon, blocked out the cylinders and used parts from the aforementioned Henry and/or Edward to convert him. Apart from the coupling rods, they didn't do a bad job with it. Strangely, the 2012 Henry still has the rods that go into the cylinders.
 

Interested in seeing what your custom ideas for Freddie will be.

Since he already did some of the Culdee Fell engines, he'd probably use one for Ivo Hugh (and/or another one for Ivo Hugh's basis Tom Rolt).
