Real Steam James TMII

[Super]

I was nosing around for toys and came across this Real Steam James. I have not followed the TM II trains much but don't recall this one, is he new?

he has been in prototype form for some time now, great to see he is finally making it out into production

Oh so it is new. James look likes he he has gained a few pounds. Too much Halloween candy I suspect.

Hahahaha, I think it's because all the water mechanisms have to fit inside that tiny shell is why he looks like he's gained a couple of pounds

Despite not really having track or a layout for the New TMR style engines I will probably grab this one. I really like the real steam and steam along engines. Especially the non-Thomas Japan versions.

Kind of makes me wish Tomy produced more real steam for the other engines...

James reminded of the remote control percy and thomas the last trackmaster 1 remote control before trackmaster 2 took over.

Usual thing with Trackmaster, model different loco's just by changing the colour but using the same body lol!!

MIne arrived today. Funny thing is, I ordered it the other day because the local ToysRUs did not have it. I was there tonight and they had tons of them.. Grrr. Oh well, I had to take advantage of the 40% of the second Thomas item so I picked up he RC Luke. I and thinking I may try and add a light I him and maybe something else the put him on eBay to see what happens, we will see. James looks a bit cheesy but was expected. I have not ran him yet but hoping to soon to see how it compares to the others.
