That is an NPN transistor (8050S) that is used in the train to amplify the audio signals for the speaker.

Thanks for that. Odd that this would prevent the motor from coming on? Sound was fine. Maybe there was a short or something in it possibly?

OK. Maybe it was used to control the motor. There are many uses for transistors and the most common one for that type is for driving small speakers.

Thanks. Yeah, all I know is that it was a pain to get desoldered. And it was the last thing I tried. Just thankful that I had a couple "British" accent versions laying around in parts.

Ok. I will admit this is not the best way to do this, but I think this gives a better overview of the voice and the phrases that are said.
Basically I took off one of the wires to the circuit board for the motor. I then put a set of wheels (sorry these are Thomas, did not have black wheels with no gear) that would allow the wheels to move when the engine was in the on position. Of course this is not the prettiest but it gives an insight too into how much is going on in these engines. To me this is clearly Alec Baldwin. Thoughts?

Not sure if thats Baldwin or not. Some sound like him some don't.

That's George Carlin. I can tell by the fact that he is a little raspier in his tone.

Hmm. Yeah I still think he clearly sounds like Alec.

Any other thoughts on the voice? Muddy, what are your thoughts? Is it him?
RE: Talk n Action "American Accent" James - MuddyPoppins - 04-24-2016
Alec Baldwin is credited as having voiced the American version...it is clearly not the British or Japanese version, so it can ONLY be Alec Baldwin's voice we are hearing.
RE: Talk n Action "American Accent" James - ROKMAN1445 - 04-24-2016
I though that George voiced the English episodes and Micheal Angelis did the British ones.
