Just noticed that all the vehicles that say 'Motor Tomica' on the bottom use the 'N' Battery and the ones that just say 'Tomy' use a 'AAA'. I don't have any Thomas characters to check those.
I am sure glad I checked as I found 6 of them I left the battery's in. I am also in conference with myself to open the 4 new in package ones (Motor Tomica) to remove the battery's that come with them. No sense leaving them in the package and 10- 20 years from now the battery's have leaked destroying the insides. I wish manufacturers would not make their products with the battery's installed. If they want to include a battery, it should be separate. Besides, in this day and age including battery's with a product is not a selling feature like it was a few decades ago.
