Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Gordon The Big Express Engine

My son loves Thomas railroad and all the trains. Gordon is one of his favorites.

This is a very nice addition to any Thomas Wooden Railway collection. I purchased this for my son and he really enjoys it. It is durable and very detailed, just like the other Thomas Wooden items. If your child is a Thomas fan, this would be perfect for him=)

Although Thomas and Friends trains are a little expensive for my taste, they are durable and well made. Kids of all ages enjoy playing w/ them.

This was a basic and simple transaction. I placed an order for this particular Thomas and Friends train of Gordon through Amazon. Found a great price. Immediately placed an order and the shipment came on a timely manner with no issues.

Overall, I'm happy for how smooth the transaction was...

I was a railway fanatic when I was a little child; and now my son is, too, and probably more so than I ever was, thanks to the art and science of modern marketing. He wants Thomas this and Thomas that. He loves Gordon -- I guess most kids love Gordon because he's big and powerful. This hardwood toy looks nice, but doesn't seem very durable -- my son dropped it once and the wheel bases got really loose, to the point that we may need to buy another one. Also, these toys are made in China, and the trees they cut down to make these are from China, too, so I guess the cost to manufacture is probably 50 cents, but they charge U.S. consumers twenty bucks. Makes me wish I were in the toys trade.
