 New generation of Learning Curve - Plastic, Plastic, PlasticOct 11, 2006
By Ian Mccullough
Murdoch is the most plasticky of the Thomas engines we have bought. His geometry is also poor if you have the older "clickity clack" style of tracks (specifically, he bumps going up ascenders). My son loves his look and he is stylish, but the wheel arrangement (mentioned in numerous other reviews) leaves Murdoch a little stiff for cornering.
So he is a handsome engine, and a little awkward, but this engine has A LOT of plastic. The newer engines just keep getting more and more plastic parts. It seems antithetical to the "wooden railway" ethic to have so much plastic on an engine - even a really useful one.

 A truly neat engine!May 31, 2005
By c2
We just HAD to get Murdoch after viewing the video, "New Friends for Thomas." He is just so very big in the video but he's about the same size as Gordon here in the toy version. My little one particularly appreciated the fact that he's a different color - we have a LOT of blue and green trains but Murdoch is sort of a dark butterscotch color (he's more yellow-toned than what the above photo indicates). These engines are fabulous for role playing and our Murdoch even goes to bed with out little one! He is two pieces like most of the other larger engines and pulls a ton of cars as well. Like all Imginarium toys, he's very durable, made of wood, and covered by their lifetime guarantee. Murdoch hass quickly become a favorite in our house!

Murdoch the big, strong engineJun 27, 2005
By Rowan

If your child enjoys acting out the Thomas & Friends episodes, Murdoch is an engine designed to pull heavy freight. He's the largest engine on Sodor, and has a butterscotch sort of color, like Annie and Clarabelle do. Shy as he is strong, Murdoch wishes for some peace and quiet, but his friends are always full of questions.
Murdoch and Arthur are unique engines. They are the only large engines in the wooden range with 2 wheels in front and 6 wheels in back. All the other large engines have 4 wheels in front and 4 wheels in back.
If you could use a heavy freight engine every time there's more milk, logs, cattle, or other various cargo to deliver, Murdoch is highly recommended!

Strong and Shy MurdochNov 13, 2004

Murdoch is a mighty engine with ten drive wheels. He was brought to the Island to help with the heavy workload and pull freight on the main line. As shy as he is strong, Murdoch can often be found seeking peace and quiet.
This wooden train is a 2 piece set, joined with magnets. My son loves playing with this mustard-yellow engine on his wooden tracks. Very sturdy construction, and a great addition to the Thomas line!
