Plarail Talking 50 phrase engines

So with my fascination of the TnA engines and finding out how cool those are, I have been thinking about the Talking Plarail "50" phrase engines.

- are these all the model # OT-0x (1-5) ?
- Thomas, Percy, James, Gordon, and Hiro?
- are they worth purchasing?

Any other thought or information that may sway me one way or the other? Thanks all. Wink

Awesome video Muddy. Thanks so much for that. I really like them and think they would definately be a good addition to the collection. After hearing the TnA versions in Japanese I am hooked on the talking engines. Thanks again.

Well Muddy, I was pretty set in getting these and the video you did sent me over the top. Big Grin

Just purchased all 5 from Amazon. Total was around $100, but I think it should be worth it.

Side note. I am seriously considering selling a lot of my Trackmaster revolution sets to get more Plarail/Tomy. Just so hooked on this stuff. Between eBay and Jauce it is going to break the bank.. Lol.. Wink

Yay. They arrived. I was not expecting them so it was a please my surprise.

I have only taken out Thomas and HIRO so far, but my thoughts are, they are very cool. I love the Japanese talking items so the stations and engines are very interesting to me. These are nice compared to the TnA engines as they are a little less fragile.

All were purchased on Amazon.

A great haul of new trains Ripley, good work. Does that blue express coach with James have the tacking workings in it or is it plain. They would be a nice addition to the red and green line of Express Coaches.

Is it full of the electronics for his voice with a on/off button in the roof or is the inside vacant as the red and/or green Express Coaches are?

The Japanese talking ones have the sound units in the engines/tenders I believe Super, the coaches or whatever are just extra rolling stock like they are with the standard PlaRail engines Smile
