But they are the exact same coach only converted/modified, so logically the blue gray shell WAS made and should exist in a nonmotorised version I would think?
Play nice & have fun!!
But doesn't it have the buttons and on/off switch on top?
Gordon with a brown Express Coach? Possibly a talking 50th anniversary?
Yep that's the new Plarail Talking Gordon!!!

Yes it does have button holes and depression for the switch, so not knowing thier production process' idk now..  Maybe PGM knows the processes and what sorts of manipution of molds and practices and such?

See...now look at all I have learned. I didn't even know there was one of these talking Express Coaches let alone 3. Whats neat about these is they can be used with any train like rolling stock and still talk right?
No... They're attached to the tenders..

What's weird is the accompanying 2nd series Thomas/Percy are completely different in design and non-motorized!! I knew Thomas was, but only realized Percy was the same way just last night while investigating!!! Thomas is driven by a detachable front coupled Annie , and Percy uses Harvey's unit...

Yes but since the coach is self contained you can detach them and install a hook with hole coupling and it could be used as a regular Express Coach with any engine. At least looking at the James one I have you can.
Yes I guess so since there's no wires inbetween!!

What...non-motorized? Thats a new one on me. So it looks like the sound unit is in the engines are they battery run or do they have a self generator powered through traction tires?

Where can I find a blue express coach? I've never even seen the one Henry has, and where does the light blue express coach come from?
More and more...
