If not you would be looking for a solid blue remote. There are 2 versions of those too, one has a more glossy look and the other a more matte finish.
The year on the train and th remote is the key though in getting them matched. I believe they are 2006 and 2009 for the two versions. Meaning your train and the needed remote will be either 2006 or 2009. Hope this helps
thanks Ripley. Its amazing where we store this info in our brains. I often wonder why I can remember these little details, but I cant remember the technical details of the products I sell for a living.
At any rate, I got lucky, I went back to the same flea market and the same dude had 3 remote controls (one of which was Thomas) and I said, what do you have to have for these? $5. done! I got Percy and Molly, and both work (they make sounds, I dont have the trains) but my 3 y/o thinks he is controlling something and plays with the remote cause it makes noise.
have a nice weekend y'all.
