Title: HO Gordon's Express Coaches Discontinued!
Post by: seanrail on February 11, 2013, 07:02:03 AM
In the 2013 Catalogue, the HO Gordon's coaches have discontinued.

What is Gordon going to pull without his coaches on the product line?

Wow! If you get rid of the express coaches, might as well get rid of Gordon. :'(

I do not think they should get rid of Gordon; they just need to re-release the express coaches with a different name like 'Sodor Express Composite Coach' and 'Sodor Express Brake Coach' and use the tooling as seen in recent seasons.

Too bad Bachmann can only have so much in their availability. It would be nice if they remade the express coaches.

Another straw poll is now up:

This poll allows you to choose which coach tooling you want Bachmann to use when they are bringing back Gordon's Express Coaches.

not yet, I created this poll so that when they do and if they are considering re-tooling the coaches, this poll would help them recreated the most popular express coach tooling for the re-release.

Sorry if this is off-topic a bit, I think that in addition to Gordon's coaches, Bachmann should bring back the red express coaches.

You know I thought about it too why was Gordon's Coaches discontinued  because if you did that wouldn't you have to discontinue Gordon too just a thought Please The Bachmann if you read this please respond I really need to know

Of course they wouldn't HAVE to discountinue Gordon. A product is discontinued when it doesn't sell. I'm assuming they didn't sell because they were like 42 a piece. Ridiculous.

I hope sometime soon Gordon's Express Coaches come back, preferably with a different tooling. I like the express coaches Bachmann released, don't get me wrong, but I feel they could be a little, erm, better, as far as design goes.

Gordon's got the Special Coaches like the kind Spencer pulls and for the moment I think that's alright, and I'm sure there are still lots of coaches out there waiting to find a good home, but Gordon needs his Express in one way or another.
