Trivia[]

  • A late prototype Plarail 1995 Gordon features a different face with different eyes and mouth, and raised eyebrows in a joyous way instead of cockier.
  • A TrackMaster (Fisher-Price) prototype Big Friends Gordon uses a version similar to the TrackMaster (HiT Toy Company) and Motor Road and Rail versions with the same face and number, and painted cylinders. However, it also features red stripes, no cab windows, painted handrails, and gray/grey traction tires.
  • 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.
