This video shows more of the Thomas engine up close and what it does. I didn't realize it is Tender Wagon driven. AA Flat Drive in the Wagon and also uses a AA battery to run the eyes and sound in the Engine. Wonder if the 'clicking' with the eye movements was something they wanted or just a result of the mechanics? The sounds seem to be very audible and not drowned out by the sound of the motor or clicking of the eyes...at least in the video but that may be because of the microphone used.
I would have loved to include this set with the Future World collection but I don't like any of the Talking trains that are in Japanese. What I have always wondered is, why does Plarail use English words on the model, where it was made, name and on/off switch but they won't also have an English speaking versions. If they did I would have every Thomas set included in the Future World Collection.
