My junkyard, are there any interesting trains here?

pic two... that looks like a flip face thomas on top, and the one he is sitting on looks interesting too. unusual face. the james with the white footplate may be japanese?

The one the flip face is sitting on is the original TrackMaster RC Thomas. The face is based on a face mask seen in the "new series", A.K.A. seasons 8-12.

All 3 of those trains are r/c even the flip face is but his battery truck is missing. The white footplates are interesting though.

Yep. Definately the TnA Percy. What accent will be the question. Simple test would be to connect the wires up to a 3v minimum source and it should come alive. These are finicky so if you need any assistance let me know. I may be able to spare some parts of you need down the road too. Other than the battery terminals which I still can't find replacement parts for, I have pretty much all of it.

Thanks, I might need spares, now are these supposed to be aa or AAA? Im going to solder the speaker wire tomorrow and provide some power. I see the special green tracks are on eBay so, that should be easy, the hard part is the battery box, perhaps a custom Gordon or james tender is in order.

I have a question do you have a bill and a Percy or Billy cause you could make Wilbert or sixteen as a custom I'm making Wilbert in my spare time I'll post a video on my YouTube channel here's a link if you want https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCTd8zk0LXPkCGS4PhdNbfoA

They have 3 AA. Actually now that I am thinking about it, it looks like you may have a Real Steam Thomas in your lot, that may be perfect for the battery car. That is, if it is one you already have and can use that one as a spare. The battery car has 2 batteries on top, and one on the bottom.

I am not sure if you have taken the top off of Percy yet, but the have a controller board in the front which has all th connections for the motor, sound, talk/action activation piece, etc... Yes these do need the green track pieces and they are sometimes easy to find on eBay in other lots or sometimes in a set. If you can get the power connected and see that it comes on, then the last variable would be if the activation piece works. They have a spring under them that sometimes needs replaced/reseated, or the little connecting piece inside the activation part have issues contacting each other. The latter can be a pain to fix.

Thats actually a great idea, I have a spare bill thats a bit beat up, slight body mods and a new paint job, and it'll work, I have plenty of extra/junk percy's laying around I just need another bill/ben to make sixteen

Yeah I've taken his top off, hopefully I can get him running tonight, well at least the sound part, his drivetrain needs work too. The real steam Thomas is missing his battery car too ugh. I'm still thinking about a replacement battery truck, but I'm unsure of what to use.

I think one with 3AAA or 3AAA would work. Although the 3AA are probably going to be harder to find. The regular talking engines have the 3AAA usually if you have any spares or maybe a spare coach/mail car with a battery back in it and a switch?

[Super]

I was picking these up whenever I saw them. I think they are from the R/C as I was picking them up very cheaply whenever someone was selling an R/C train with no remote. My plans are to use these for powering lights in a rake of coaches.

Thats cool, I have a r/c James and Thomas, but I'm not sure if I should use them for the projects though, I'm sure there the most common r/c trains
