These type of plarail trains (express or shinkansen types) typically have the two speed motors. The newer ones run on an AA battery the older ones a C type battery. Generally the latter are way quieter in my experience and one of my favourite motor types made by Tomy 
Sometimes they will have a sound chip and/or working headlights as well, although I don't think this particular model does - although correct me if I'm wrong.
Overall a nice loco to start your plarail collection.

Happily collecting things all my life...
