@Muddypoppins
Are the three coaches in the picture the talking ones including the gray/blue one? They all look to have tracktion tires.?
But they are the exact same coach only converted/modified, so logically the blue gray shell WAS made and should exist in a nonmotorised version I would think?
RE: new un-boxing video - Super - 03-24-2015
But doesn't it have the buttons and on/off switch on top?
Gordon with a brown Express Coach? Possibly a talking 50th anniversary?

Yes it does have button holes and depression for the switch, so not knowing thier production process' idk now..
Maybe PGM knows the processes and what sorts of manipution of molds and practices and such?

See...now look at all I have learned. I didn't even know there was one of these talking Express Coaches let alone 3. Whats neat about these is they can be used with any train like rolling stock and still talk right?
RE: new un-boxing video - MuddyPoppins - 03-24-2015
No... They're attached to the tenders..

What's weird is the accompanying 2nd series Thomas/Percy are completely different in design and non-motorized!!
I knew Thomas was, but only realized Percy was the same way just last night while investigating!!!
Thomas is driven by a detachable front coupled Annie , and Percy uses Harvey's unit...

RE: new un-boxing video - Super - 03-24-2015
Yes but since the coach is self contained you can detach them and install a hook with hole coupling and it could be used as a regular Express Coach with any engine. At least looking at the James one I have you can.
RE: new un-boxing video - MuddyPoppins - 03-24-2015
Yes I guess so since there's no wires inbetween!!

And the coolest surprise was that Percy has a different face!!!
RE: new un-boxing video - Super - 03-24-2015
What...non-motorized? Thats a new one on me. So it looks like the sound unit is in the engines are they battery run or do they have a self generator powered through traction tires?

The Thomas and Percy's voices come from the train itself with batteries to power the voice but no motor..

Where can I find a blue express coach? I've never even seen the one Henry has, and where does the light blue express coach come from?
