Curious about this

I agree with StarSwitcher. Most all of these are somewhat slow compared to the regular Tomy/Trackmaster items. I have gone to great lengths to try and resolve the speed issue, but have bet to figure out why the speed is so slow. Regarding he phrases that are said, I have seen this as well. In some cases when they co over a switch or other part of raised track (non green TnA track) they will talk too. The inner mechicanicals of the TnA trains are pretty detailed and complex so over time and depending on the use/condition the train has seen or may be in, the functions may be impacted. Hope this helps.
