Yeah he's leaning really good. This is as fast as he'll go, and he's going full
speed folks. On these turns this is absolutely awesome, Gordon. I think this
guy's a success. Hey guys, kids toys play here. today we're
gonna do a unique video, we're going to take our LEGO DUPLO Gordon, and we're
gonna see if we can't convert them into a fully functioning Lego train like
Spencer here, so he's fully functioning on power functions. right now he runs of
course on Lego tracks and we're just gonna see if we can't do the same thing
to Gordon. we just finished building the Emerald Night and we got a lot of
requests to do a Gordon, so we're gonna get rid of the duplo tracks, on
both of these. we'll come back to the tender, but we'll get rid of all the duplo
track pieces anyways, and we'll concentrate on these two pieces. I have
an idea, I think that we can keep this together as one piece and not have to
file it in, like we did with Spencer. here we had to grind this up a bit just to
get the wires in there so we can put the sensor through power functions. But they
just released there is no sensor needed, it's just this piece right here,
which is the battery box and the wheel system itself. and for that I think that
we can get away with not having to damage this piece at all. good. Gordon the
first Lego piece we're gonna get is this 6 by 24 train piece this is the block
this is just basic lock I'm going to throw Gordon on top of it with one bar
space right there and we'll put the back in as well but you're gonna want to
space about that big and this is going to be relatively the size of Gordon I'm
gonna show you what we're gonna do right now so the next thing we're gonna do is
we got the brand-new power functions box they've got these really unique I call
them telephone plugins we're gonna pop off the back and we're just gonna slide
this in here you can see how well it fits right there so dachi does fit
there's a little bit of a space right there we're gonna build up on the bottom
right now what I've got on the bottom is a black 2 by 8 plate and right on top
which is a 2 by 4 plate and it doesn't matter what color that is we're just
gonna pop that down right on there make sure it's nice and on there square
and lined up perfectly like that that's what looks like from underneath and
we'll just slide this in here and push down on it now this piece is
actually it's labeled right in there if you can take off the front piece of
Gordon you can see like that's basically what its gonna look like
all right so going back to what we have here this is where Gordon's body's gonna
be we need to fill up this beast on which app this is a 2x3 black plate it
has to be black as well we'll put right on the bottom there
next thing where you do is we got this 2x4 black plate this also has to be
black and we're just gonna fit it right on top of this layer of black and it's
going to create we're gonna see like look at the lines you can see our rap to
the red then it's all in line on this side so now that our block is all lined
up the next color we need is red other r-word so I've got two red plates put
together two by four red plates we'll put that on top of two black plates full
bricks are a little bit too large and you can see right here how that they're
lined up now how the colors are pretty much lined up all together once it's
down loud enough it looks really sharp right there and we've got his colors
matched up now we just need to filled up the body we'll just concentrate on this
side right now what we're gonna need is eight you can see the 1 by 2 brick it
doesn't matter what color it is and we need a 2 by 2 brick that's blue the
color is actual just blue who's gonna tuck it oh yeah we're gonna
tuck it right in there yes brick right in there the purple brick
and you can see inside there should actually be fitting on the plates and
make it secure connection right here we're just gonna put another blue 2 by 1
brick so you're gonna have a wall that kind of looks like that and then we're
gonna build up this wheel well right here okay so we've got a 2 by 1 plate
this is in blue and we're gonna put that right in the middle and we're gonna take
another exact same blue 1 by 2 plate and put that in the middle there - you got
this unique piece this is kind of an interesting slope this is like a 1 by 2
brick with a slope on top and has that extra piece there and we're gonna put
one right there the you put that side on okay we'll put
another exact same piece so we need to these pieces per side 4 in total I will
put down on there and then what right on top here is a 1 by 2 plate with
the outside has no bricks on it and we're gonna put that right on so here we
have this is kind of an oddball fit but if you go with the wheel wells here this
kind of sort of fits in there as well and it really takes up the space we have
the colors matching with the block the blue or the block the red and the blue
on top so we'll just do the same thing to the other side using the exact same
parts we've already got that piece put together ok and so from the top down it
looks just like this inside from the side it looks nice and uniform and nice
and blue let's start building up what goes around the boiler breathing it back
with the blue plates now this is a 1 by 4 blue plate and we're going to put it
right behind the wheel well there and then we're going to cup it it with a
second 1 by 4 you plate and then from there we're gonna put on a 1 by 4 brick
and that's gonna give us the right height that we need to come up the side
of Gordon but we need to slope start sloping him over to shape his boiler
this is a slope I forgot the name of it exactly Lego has unique names for these
it comes in blue I found it up on brick link and we're just gonna put it right
on top there and we can do the exact same thing to this side when were you
ready while you work fast so now that we made it this far what we're gonna do is
we're just going to pop that off just so we can look at it from the inside out
and we're gonna get your wheels in right now so we've got the new molecule this
is a new train motor that goes with the pass the new pass and the train may
passenger train I think is what they call it it's got the unique plug in and
we're gonna go through the only hole that's now open which is the bottom of
the hole I can make sure everything's lined up we'll pop through there and
we'll go in and we'll just hit a doesn't really matter which side we'll hit but
just for the sake of our email we'll hit a well plop this piece into the middle
of the three holes just for now and we'll just take this up and we're just
going to tuck it gently we don't want to pinch the chords I'm just gonna tuck it
in there like that for now well we have the back off we're gonna keep it off and
we're just gonna try and build this up so we can build up the roof first thing
we'll do this is a 1 by 2 double brick but basically what you need is two 1 by
2 bricks on top of each other it's the same thing you guys gonna put it right
there and then what we're gonna do is we're just going to take two singles so
these are one by one and we're just gonna poke em in right on this side just
you guys can see that I have a plug in on that side so there's not much I can
do my hand right I can't put a double in there so I'm just gonna put the single
in there and these are gonna be flush these two are gonna be flush right at
the back basically I have what is a bunch of 1 by twos for bricks and a
plate and I put it right on top of there you're gonna see that all of these are
now flush right here and then I'm gonna take a break and it doesn't matter what
color brick this is a 1 by 4 brick and we're just going to put it right on top
of there and so looking down this is what its gonna look like looking from
the back it's gonna be a wall we're just gonna have this covered now we have to
seal it up with a roof so we're gonna build the roof I've got four of these
blue slopes I'm not sure these folks are called living slope 45s anyways they're
in blue and we're gonna take a 2 by 4 plate it doesn't matter what color I'm
just gonna put them all on top of there like that so the plate looks you can't
see the plate underneath it doesn't matter what color but the roof should
all be blue we'll do that and we're going to put it over here so these
little openings we're gonna take 1 by 2 plates besa matter what color put one on
there and then we're going to take another 1 by 2 plate also it doesn't
matter the color and put it on top of that so we have two plates stacked there
we'll do the same thing to this side careful once again not to pinch the
wires but once we have these plates in place and on there you're gonna realize
that they're flush with this brick right here right on top you got our roof we're
gonna secure it we're gonna secure it here here and across here
and there you have it that is the basis of Gordon in there he got his molar on
let's get the back on God is I've got the blue cargo train I've just removed
the front end of that Gordon's a big train so he needs a big front end big
powerful I'm gonna put it in the back three of these and there we have our
Gordon so here's Gordon in all his glory I've
already looked these decorative train parts these sides
Spencer has them in light bluish grey they only come in black and light bluish
gray they don't come in blue unfortunately but if anyone wants to
paint a couple of these for us I'd be super awesome
whoa and let's try though let's go ahead and he is going really good here Gordon
on the shorts track that we have Wow you just closed and forward and here's
Gordon's gonna have to build a bigger track and see how he works on curves and
stuff on the very back we have this one stripe that isn't doing anything I think
we've got this one by six flat plate with the flat top Lemke put that on
there and that'll put the accent on the back and then on the front we have a
scoop what I've got is I've got three of these red scoops and just a black
underlay man can you put this on now well we can't decide yet is what Gordon
is should we keep these colors in red or blue or black you think red I think red
as well but guys we want the viewers to decide to tell us whether you like the
black or blue or red guys just get in the comments section you can put black
blue or red to pick your favorite and you're gonna help us decide I think that
we like red what's the score thread for today we're gonna order all these pieces
here that are in gray and black as well but essentially there's Gordon he looks
a little gray at the back there and his wheels should be blue I think but what
do you think over all of our Gordon Liam I think he's really awesome Gordon the
big blue sausage are you ready for the test ride let's go
are you counting how many speeds have what are you out six and he's kind of
leaning on the curves but he's coming up good try out one faster it's at seven
now he's going really good on the tracks I don't see any lean on her whatsoever
you want to go eight yeah you can hear him accelerating he's kind of leaving
when he comes around the corners now you can see him lean
yeah he's leaning dude that's it keep going up just keep hitting up see what
happens yeah he's leaning really good this is
his thoughts as he'll go and he's going full speed folks on these turns this is
absolutely awesome Gordon I think this guy's a success
not quite streamlined but still okay let's see if we can do this we're just
going to tap on to the trailer and go and there's Gordon there he has maximum
speed and that's Gordon later
here he is fastest and best I pulled the Express so overall were quite pleased
with the way Gordon looks and how he runs he is absolutely perfect the way he
is with that build he looks fantastic Gordon Spencer and we even have diesel
10 made out of Lego now we're kind of curious who you guys want to see next
converted from DUPLO to Lego or who we should make on a lego guys get in the
comments section let us know what strains you want to see on Lego
