The "random dimple" on the cab side is an access to remove the mudhole door, this allows for wash out of built up sludge from water impurities/the products of metal corrosion inside the boiler and allows for internal inspection. It's on the cab side in this case just because of where the rear corner of the firebox ends up being in relation to everything else but it serves the same purpose as other similar "dimples" around the firebox area. Smaller ones are washout plugs instead to get hoses in at the top to wash everything down to mudholes at the bottom. Nice modelling 👌
Bro, that canceled concept of Gordon Deluxe Edition was impressive. It looked like he was bought by the royal family to pull the Special Express. That's what I call the masterpiece 👏🏾
The hybrid model of Gordon look brilliant. I can imagine that design being used in a live action movie adaptation. I can’t wait to see what the others will look in their hybrid form.
Bro I honestly love these takes on the Thomas trains! I always tried to work my head around how to make the T.V trains look realistic without looking tacky. And you did it flawless. A true well done to you and your team!
If Britt Allcroft, the creator of Thomas and Friends, had a higher budget, I'm sure she would have had enough money to build models like the ones you made. You did a fantastic job making them!
Another absolute legendary model! You guys are killin' it out there! As for who should get the treatment next? I really don't know...I guess most would agree that James is the next logical choice to complete the Big Engine Trio. But I don't mind if you prefer to tackle something smaller this time.
I love how your models both exceed our expectations but at the same time It matches them perfectly, i knew someone would have raised the back of the running board but making Gordon longer..? Totally un-expected!
An absolute masterpiece. Captures the best of both styles in the best way possible, despite the square buffers slander. Gotta say though, while the new Hybrid is MILES superior, I do prefer the spacing between the handrails and boiler pipe on the Deluxe Gordon. Something about the massive gap between them rubs me the wrong way given how the A3s look in real life, but I’m fully aware it’s just a result of the handrail placement on the actual TVS model. I blame whoever made the actual prop. Despite my personal grievance with the original prop’s design choices, Hybrid looks fantastic. Hope to see more in the future!
When i first saw this on twitter it was quite the eye candy, the perfect balance between realism while also having the models features, it really reminds me of the more later HIT era engines which were more detailed but also still felt toy and storybook like, you live to see it.
Dude this is like my 17th time watching this video and I still can’t over Gordon to say that you made my favorite Thomas & Friends character look absolutely beautiful is an understatement I can’t wait to see what you will do with other characters like James and Toby but especially others like Thomas, Edward, and Percy you’re a legend keep going
The coloured pipe coming out of the smokebox, running down the side of the boiler, believe it or not, would be part of the vacuum brake and would connect to the control in the cab releasing or applying the vacuum. As for your "cupholder", is probably just a slight misunderstanding of a sandbox. Sandboxes were often fitted in the spaces between or next to the splashers on earlier locomotives, however Gordon, being more "1920's Pacific" based, would've had them underneath the runningboard, hence why I said misunderstanding. Also the "random arch" on the back of the tender, would be part of the waterscoop, making sure that the water picked up at high speed between the rails, coming up with a lot of force, would then flow correctly into the watertank. Great model, great work, keep modelling 👍
Holy Crap. I would have thought of it like that A3 reskin like Flying Scottsman but OMG this just looks beautiful. Truth is the hybrid models are like my AU of Thomas
I really thought Henry was a one time thing but I wasn’t expecting Gordon this looks really good can’t wait to see the rest of the fleet and congrats on the Patreon
The lining on Gordon is perfect. Gotta have the red rods! Can’t wait for my PC to work to play this beauty of model. From the looks it does look it has a lot of care put into it
Gordon looks fantastic, I love the accuracy to the real A1 while also keeping his exclusive sloped running board after his rebuild according to the IOS book. Also with a couple of tweaks to the footplate, and you can basically turn him into TVS hybrid Flying Scotsman. I hope to see a hybrid Edward next, I want to picture TVS Edward with the accurate gap between his footplate and boiler like in the books.
Your Hybrid Gordon and Henry models are so beautifully brilliant! If I had the money, supplies, and skills to make physical models based on your design from scratch, I would be soooo happy.
I really love this model good work, tho I wonder if you’ll be using this model as well as the RWS accurate TVS hybrid Henry model for the upcoming thoroughbred series and episodes. Otherwise these are really good
While I am not a fan of the running board and tender you gave him, even though he had it in the Railway Series and TV series, you did a marvelous job on this model. I hope to more like in the future.
I think the arch thing next to the water cap was the piping from the water trough pickup bucket used to refill the tenders with water while still moving quickly (water trough in the centre of the rails)
The pipe running along his boiler is the vacuum exhaust pipe for the brake system. Interestingly, since Gordon is primarily based on the A1, this pipe should actually be running along the right hand side of the boiler since the A1s were right-hand drive as built
Hahaha, I caught that little JobbytheHong reference, clever. Also, with hybrid Gordon made, do you think we could we get a hybrid Scotsman to go with him one day? Regardless, excellent work as usual, keep it coming!
Oval buffers are better than square buffers, and I will not hear otherwise. This model and the Black 5 Henry are absolutely stunning. Awesome work. Good luck getting that new PC! :D As for who's next? I dunno: I guess Edward?
Gordon is a work of art. Hopefully when "Thomas and Friends" will be revived as the 60FPS Clay-Faced Model Series with CGI-Voices (US and UK) and Mark Moraghan narrating and pick up where it left off as well as Series 11-24 and specials re-filmed, these Hybrid-Engines you could create could become a reality and be added into the revived show.
Hey, don't mind if take the cylinder design whenever I make a Gordon. I HATE the cut into cylinders the real model has! Also, I agree with you - oval buffers for Gordon for life!
Very well made, good job on the model! I'm actually looking forward to seeing what the other hybrid characters of the thomas the tank engine cast look like.
Gordon is one of my favorites from what the site has released over the years! He has the best faces that I would like to see how you and many others come up with them. 😊 The hybrid version of him looks like his Hornby rendition with parts of Flying Scotsman added. Same with Henry. 9:22: What software is this? Maybe you can make a hybrid James next. I think you joked about it during April Fools Day last year.
Proper large firebox accurate unlike smaller one some people think TVs version of Gordon’s firebox was but small. His tender longer look sorta reminds of hornby model I know hornby model is more realistic look.
I'm actually crying. This model is beautiful.

Nice modelling 👌
I love the jab at The Unlucky Tug during the pateron segment 😂
But why tho, is there like a conflict or something why was there a need for a jab?
@gabes3dworldofficial some people with a Superiority Complex need to knocked down a couple pegs to Humble them

Never expected a JobbyTheHong reference in a T&F video...
I mean he is using the same music too

That Hybrid Gordon looks fantastic! Well done, Sudrian and the rest of your crew!
I love how your models both exceed our expectations but at the same time It matches them perfectly, i knew someone would have raised the back of the running board but making Gordon longer..?
Totally un-expected!
the fact you guys add so much variety makes me cry tears of joy. this is exactly what ive been waiting for

I believe this is the first time I'm watching your channel, and props to you sir! You did a fantastic job.
Thank you! Hope I made a good first impression 😊

Hybrid Gordon looks like a mix between his RWS and TVS model which looks great and these models absolutely ROCK!

1:32 oh hey a jobby reference
SWIVEL HEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
I really fw my "my minds playin tricks on me" in the intro
My man bro
Holy Crap. I would have thought of it like that A3 reskin like Flying Scottsman but OMG this just looks beautiful. Truth is the hybrid models are like my AU of Thomas
You've really put a lot of work into making the Hybrid Series Gordon, well done SudrianRails!
I really thought Henry was a one time thing but I wasn’t expecting Gordon this looks really good can’t wait to see the rest of the fleet and congrats on the Patreon
Your model of Gordon looks amazing dude. Keep up the good work on the TV Hybrid models of Thomas and Friends.
The lining on Gordon is perfect. Gotta have the red rods! Can’t wait for my PC to work to play this beauty of model. From the looks it does look it has a lot of care put into it
Holy freaking cow that model is so cool
Hm, these models are extremely detailed, and I like this style too! I'll make sure to stop by the patreon later on to support you!
Gordon looks fantastic, I love the accuracy to the real A1 while also keeping his exclusive sloped running board after his rebuild according to the IOS book.

That long pipe on the side is actually the Ejector pipe used to create a vacuum for the brakes, and the "Cupholders" are the tops of the sand boxes
It’s a crime that trainz graphics cannot live up to your renders because these things are just stunning.
The model is the best rendition of Gordon I've seen so far! Can't wait for more!
I was hoping for this and it came. I’m overjoyed about this.
Your Hybrid Gordon and Henry models are so beautifully brilliant! If I had the money, supplies, and skills to make physical models based on your design from scratch, I would be soooo happy.
I really love this model good work, tho I wonder if you’ll be using this model as well as the RWS accurate TVS hybrid Henry model for the upcoming thoroughbred series and episodes. Otherwise these are really good

8:38 hybrid sir handel?
Nice! Love the Hybrid Gordon model!
You did a awesome job on making this Gordon model i can't wait to see more you did great.
Lovely work guys!! Wishing i knew how to make such detailed models!
I think the arch thing next to the water cap was the piping from the water trough pickup bucket used to refill the tenders with water while still moving quickly (water trough in the centre of the rails)
These models are just beautiful to look at
I know I might be late to the news but goddamn the hybrid model looks amazing !!!!
3:40
The pipe is blower if I remember correctly
Lube is correct
Cup holder is sandbox
Look! Its me
The pipe running along his boiler is the vacuum exhaust pipe for the brake system. Interestingly, since Gordon is primarily based on the A1, this pipe should actually be running along the right hand side of the boiler since the A1s were right-hand drive as built
Hahaha, I caught that little JobbytheHong reference, clever.
Also, with hybrid Gordon made, do you think we could we get a hybrid Scotsman to go with him one day? Regardless, excellent work as usual, keep it coming!
imagine someone makes these 3D hybrid models into HO/OO scale models
On god i hope they do
I honestly can’t wait to see future Hybrid models
A E2 hybrid Thomas would be sick.
Oval buffers are better than square buffers, and I will not hear otherwise. This model and the Black 5 Henry are absolutely stunning. Awesome work. Good luck getting that new PC! :D
As for who's next? I dunno: I guess Edward?
The Hybrid Gordon Look Splendid Amazing ❤ i Loved We'll Done And Good Job Indeed 👏🏻 😊😍😍😍😍😍
What a grand engine. Great work!
The Tender For Gordon Is Based Of A Fowler Tender Mainly used by the LMS
3:24 call me wrong all you like nothing will stop me from liking the square buffers
Same, I like square buffers!
Wrong 💀💀
@@AbbeyYard*GET OU-*
@@johnathonmcjohn3 Oval buffers are best
Gordon looks very grand, all the TTTE characters should be turned into hybrid models
Gordon is a work of art.

They won't ever bring back the model series. It's simply too costly nowadays.
keep dreaming
nerd
You’ve got your expectations set way too high I’m sorry man
Why is this the highest-voted comment.
3:33 is the blower pipe
This series is so good dude.
One more thing in you're perspective when will the models be on the site?
That is Awesome! Great Job.
Hey, don't mind if take the cylinder design whenever I make a Gordon. I HATE the cut into cylinders the real model has!
Also, I agree with you - oval buffers for Gordon for life!
Also, if I ever get Trainz, I'm happy these stunning models won't be stuck behind a pay wall.
But they definitely are stunning! Keep up the good work!
Amazing Masterpiece
4:14 leaat unhinged twitter thomas fan description:
Now THAT is the perfect Gordon model
10/10 Gordon nice job
Very well made, good job on the model!
I'm actually looking forward to seeing what the other hybrid characters of the thomas the tank engine cast look like.
This is incredible!
Now that's the perfect Gordon!
He looks absolutely amazing
Duck would look great in the hybrid series, his prop looks good but there are still a few details missing
If you we to make versions of the other eight famous engines, I would not be angry.
Finally!!! a perfect Gordon model!!!
ab so fucking lutly beautiful
I have to ask, where did the red side rods come from? TVS or RWS lore?
Dude this was fucking sick!! Awesome video!!
The Henry and Gordon models look great
Can't wait to see the others in the hybrid form like James, Edward, ect. Mostly Edward
I will wait
Being patient is more helpful than rushing the model and the creator get on site ngl
YES GREATNESS
Have you done a Edward yet?
Gordon is one of my favorites from what the site has released over the years!
He has the best faces that I would like to see how you and many others come up with them. 😊
The hybrid version of him looks like his Hornby rendition with parts of Flying Scotsman added.
Same with Henry.
9:22: What software is this?
Maybe you can make a hybrid James next. I think you joked about it during April Fools Day last year.
Mattel should take notes on this for the forster film. Maybe even hire you. But, we know youre too good enough for Mattels standards.
Very good model! I was just wondering if Gordon will have some faces taken from the rws?
i REALY wish this was for TANE
is there any particular reasion it cant work on TANE???
Amazing model I’m hoping to see a hybrid James next. 😊
I love that gordon theme
Proper large firebox accurate unlike smaller one some people think TVs version of Gordon’s firebox was but small.
His tender longer look sorta reminds of hornby model I know hornby model is more realistic look.
Hybrid Series is peak
Awesome model
oh god damn it, good that you egnauladged the unfortinantly jinxed steam boat that pulls and pushes thing
just an idea combine both things and it would look so awesome and detailed
This is sooooo cool
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought...
"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!"
THIS IS AWESOME :DDD
I can't wait for Thoroughbred episode 2!
Awesome Gordon
You've done 3 and 4, might as well do 5 next
I wonder who'll be next in this series! Maybe James or Edward?
Babe wake up new Hybrid model just dropped
Now thats a engine who looks like he'll make big money, drive big trains, and look like a movie star that everyone knows while doing it
hahaha I understood that reference 😆
