Product Description

James is a proud, splendid red mixed-traffic engine and is No. 5 on the Island of Sodor — one of the best-loved characters from Thomas and Friends, by Takara Tomy, made in Japan.

This is the vintage first-generation Plarail version — the original single C-battery "old-power" design with the distinctive red chassis on the motor car, which predates the later AA-battery generations. A nostalgic piece for Thomas and Plarail collectors.

• 2-car set: James (motorized engine, red body with James's face) + tender that doubles as the battery box
• Motorized engine (single speed) — runs on Plarail track (switch off to hand-push)
• First-generation "old-power" design: a power cord runs through the coupling from the tender battery box to the engine motor
• Distinctive red chassis on the motor car — a marker of the earliest version
• Requires 1x C battery (not included) — housed in the tender (battery lid)
• Front and rear couplers — connects with other Plarail cars
