Gordon was an A0 at the beginning. He was meant to be the prototype for the A1s, and then he eventually got the A3 upgrades like the other A1s… according to the lore. That’s why you’ve seen people mention him as an A1 sometimes and an A3 other times. :)

Thank you for the clarification! I'll include that in my Gordon review, assuming Bachmann ever actually releases him.

@@NGaugeUSA happy to share. If the Gordon does ever get a release, I’ll have to check out your review. ;)

False. It was never mentioned that Gordon was an A0. A0s was a term made up by Sparkshot/Knuckles

Hey Dan, great video! Love your use of the green screen! 😎 looked super professional! Great review, I must say I’ve not ever thought of collecting the Thomas stuff but perhaps this is the scale to do it in 🤔 Keep up the great work man!

Thanks, Hylton, it means a lot. I'm not sure how much I'll use the green screen in the future. It almost tripled my editor's processing time, and my phone got warm to the touch 😅 Make sure to check out my February Recap video. I'll mention you in the Thank You section towards the end. It's been great talking to you and comparing notes. See you back on Instagram 😁

Kato track is much higher quality than Peco. The Kato is 100% reliable. Although it is commonly available in the uk, the problem is that its expensive here. Over here, Dapol trainsets come supplied with Kato track. I have used it for years, and found it to be great.

Welp for James having pickups … soldering iron , solder stick thingy , wires & brass with superglue There you go that’s how to give James an upgrade . Tho maybe to hide the brass on the tender get some black paint on the part where we can see it clearly

As an American who is entering N scale 1/160* I do want some “British” equipment that I will be modifying to be for mostly Northern Irish Locomotives, I love your content so far though

That's why I'm here! Hopefully, I can save you from making some of the mistakes I made. Are there any N gauge models in particular you've been looking at? I can't promise I'll buy it and review right away, but I can put it on my list.

Toys that tie in with a movie or tv show tend to be poor. Talking of wheel spacings. I've just sent back a Dapol Manor Class to Osborns. It ran very badly and wouldn't go round corners. I didn't need to check the wheel spacings to know they were too wide. Derailed even at very slow speed.

I'd definitely recommend checking the wheel spacing on any Dapol locomotives. Their wheels pop on and off the axles. When I took apart one of my 57XXs to clean it, it was derailing a lot after I reassembled it. Turns out I had pressed the wheels back just a little too hard. With some gentle pressure, I was able to get them all back where they needed to be.

@@NGaugeUSA I'm not happy with Dapol now. That's down to quality control, checking it before it leaves the factory. Plus their spares situation is not good.

@ngaugeonashelf4417 if you don't get anywhere with Osborns, I can't recommend @dccsupplies enough. They might have some Manor parts for sale. Last I looked, they had a whole Manor class available in their spares and repairs section. Failing that they also do warranty (specifically for Dapol) and non-warranty work. I've always been happy with their service.

@@NGaugeUSA Thankyou. I will wait to hear from Osbournes. No, I'm going to chase them this afternoon. I think I'm going to stick to buying from my local model shop, will be far easier to deal with sales, returns and just simple advice.
