Tomy Plarail Powerful Gordon Trackmaster Thomas Clone
Quote:The Powerful Gordon was originally produced in 2001-2002 and was sold only in the Japanese market by Tomy Plarail, which makes it one of the rarest trains in the Thomas the Tank Engine toy line. In fact, only Golden Thomas and 60th Thomas Anniversary Metallic Edition trains are rarer.
One of my original Powerful Gordon just sold on eBay for $350.00. I sold that train, so that I could buy the materials needed to reproduce this very rare train. I painstakingly and faithfully reproduced all the unique features of this scarce train. Making my Powerful Gordon clone a great place holder for any serious Thomas the Train collector. By adding the exact weights in the same locations as the 2001-2002 version.
This weight is used to balance the train and provide the needed traction to pull up to seven coaches through tight S turns and swiftly down the long straight aways. There is also a more powerful Tamiya Dash motor installed, which pulls six coaches twice as fast as a standard Gordon pulling just two. This is truly one powerful Gordon.
This is not a cheap reproduction, I’m proud of the work that I accomplish. I crafted each train from brand new, straight out of the box, never played with Tomy Plarail Gordons. I hand sign, date and serialize each train that I make. You will not be disappointed.
Please see this train's performance on youtube at Mike's Powerful Gordon.
