Final Decision: JAMES VS JAMES

Get the Japanese talking Tomy PlaRail James, or I think there is a new re-engineered Tomy PlaRail James as I recall from some other posts round here - Super you remember that one?!?

I'm not going to get any Talking Engines very soon. Maybe when I start making my own money and start collecting for real, but until then, I only mean the normal new James.

if you arent good with soldering, or dont know how, i would go with a new james to minimise broken wires. i dont think i have a funtional james because of this.

I actually have never broken one of those wires before! The only wire I ever remember breaking in my life are earbud wires and the Steam Along Thomas.

Was there ever a James that was Tendered Powered or do you just mean the battery was in the tender but the motor was still in the engine?

Yes, I mean the motor is in the engine, and the battery is in the tender.
