Trivia[]

  • Unlike redesigned versions of other tender engines, Gordon became the only TrackMaster (Fisher-Price) 2010-2014 tender engine still to have a permanently attached tender and powered by a C battery. A redesigned version with a detachable tender was going to be released in 2014, but was cancelled before the release of the TrackMaster (Revolution) range.
  • A TrackMaster (Fisher-Price) prototype Big Friends Gordon uses a version similar to the TrackMaster (HiT Toy Company) versions with the same face and number, and painted cylinders. However, it also features red stripes, no cab windows, painted handrails, and gray traction tires.
