Trackmaster Talking Percy Unboxing review and first run

- Hi Guys and Gals today we have Trackmaster Talking Percy, This is a suprisingly good engine and I am very happy with it.
I got this Talking Percy when I got Talking Diesel they were both from ebay shipped to me from the USA, they were cheaper than our stores here even after the shipping cost so something is rotten in our retail toy sector here in Australia. I was skeptical at first with it being Percy the small engine but the detail and how well it runs and sounds were a big relief and its good in every department as you will see.
The speaker is located in the coal truck that is permanently attached, this coal truck also houses the battery compartment that is under the removable top cover. Talking Percy runs on 3xAAA batteries and the first thing I always do with engines that come with batteries already fitted is to swap the batteries for fresh ones.
The performance of Talking Percy is quite good running along at a reasonable speed even when pulling 5 empty trucks, I did reduce the load to 3 trucks for the transfer station to operate correctly which it did. The speed is quite reasonable despite the fact that he pulls along a heavy truck that houses the speaker and batteries. In a race with a regular non talking Percy this engine would be slower of course. He did not derail once in the whole time I was filming and this is excellent. The speaker is loud and clear and its easy to hear the whistle from one end of the shed to the other but the phrases can be a bit muffled at a distance which would not really impact play unless you have a super long track.
The detail is quite good but not outstanding everything is there but a few extra spashes of paint would have made this an outstanding engine detail wise, I would do the running plate top white and the leaf spring above the front wheels black or silver. These are small complaints though because the truck looks great and so does Percy.
Overall a great engine and one I am happy to have in my collection, this Talking engine makes me want to get more Talking engines which I probably will (I have 4 at the moment).
I give this Talking Percy from Trackmaster a 9.5/10 overall, with the extra paint details mentioned above it would have gotten a 10 for sure as it runs superbly.
Thanks for watching! Please drop a comment I read all your comments and try to reply to each one. The comments always brighten my day a little :D
I use to have this percy, made so many memories, my parents threw it away without me knowing
I got like 6 talking Percy’s
No problem. By the way we've just received a Mr Motorman unit. Takes a bit of getting used to. Controls seem a little unusual but will be a great addition to the sets we make to stop hands appearing to turn the trains on and off. Thanks for showing it to us first.
Great video :)
Huh for being a 8 year old video the quality holds up quite well. This is way better then most channels of today.
2 years into the future, the video still holds up
Percy is pulling 6 Troublesome Trucks!
A good choice, I have the older TOMY road and rail one that uses the green tracks
I LOV the usa Percy voice
Hi Yes Mr. Motorman seems to focus on a sort of realistic train driving, stops need to be well planned or its very easy to overshoot stations etc :) Amazingly fun to get it right once you get the hang of it.
Australia has been importing toys mostly from America for years in Learning Curve's and Fisher-Price's Thomas ranges. Interestingly, the only exception is the Motor Road and Rail range which was mainly from the UK.
Have they started to import from the UK again?
Very good review, I might get one Talking Engine soon, they're getting popular.
Thanks!
I love your videos!! I swear, I always wait for new videos!! I think they're great! I can't wait to see more. I got to looking though, is it me, or is Percy a little slower than other engines?
Wait a Moment. Who's That Coming Down The Line?
It's Percy!
[PERCY WHISTLES]
He's The Number 6 Green Engine!
He's One Of The Younger Engines On The Island Of Sodor.
Thomas Is Percy's Best Friend.
Like Thomas Percy Is A Tank Engine.
His Favourite Job Is Delivering The Mail.
Percy Always Wants To Do His Best...
And Never Gives Up.
That's Why He's A Really Useful Engine.
Amazing video.
Thanks! and the talking engines are slower than normal versions
Yes I have had this percy over a month just been waiting for a chance to film. I have trains here that are still in their boxes new waiting to be filmed.
Thanks I have 4 at the moment Gordon, Salty, Diesel and Percy
Hard to say they are all different, I have 2x TOMY (one 1993, the rocky one and this talking TM one) I like them all the most detailed is the rocky one
I got that trackmaster talking percy this year online with my visa credit card.
They are shipped over from America this and the Diesel but our retail ones are the same
Percy Pulling The Troublesome Truck
thanks :D
how many of the talking engines do u have now,i lost count, nice vid btw
Does the talking locomotives chuff continuously are only for a few seconds while running.
I think 8 trucks or coaches is about the limit on this track because the corners make the trucks and coaches tip over if the train is too long, I need to find a way to weight the bottom of the trucks and coaches.
is it possable to modify the talking engines with faster motors?
Percy's US Voice is not annoying as his UK one.
why remove signal box with bell? i loved that one and i did not remove that on my layout.
Hey mate, I have a question, since you have a lot of trains not being used, can you like sell or donate them?
Out of all the Percy's you have, which percy is your favorite?
nice!
its just a little wierd that i bought a talking henry the same day you uploaded this video
hi hopefully over the weekend
Hmmm not at this stage I still use them all on occasion. Its my main hobby at the moment collecting these. Thats not to say that in the future I could sell/donate them who knows.
Classical
Hi no its not possible although I found a resistor on the motor that seems to make the motor slow so removing that makes it faster, (I did it to talking gordon after a failed motor swap)
Ucewepn don't put talking percy on blue tracks on Brown ones
Which season?
I Saw Paxton But Why Is He Pulling The Express
Hi it chuffs continuously until it speaks then resumes chuffing sound
What do you think would happen if Percy had 8 trucks?
not to the doctor yellow that came with the transfer station, if i get another I might.
I think they should have put a mail car instead of a coal truck
oh i see but oh well i guess its not my problem. are you planing to add lights to doctor yellow? this is my las comment for a week so i`k be busy but respond
Not sure yet maybe the Pokemon Plarail steam train
Why does percy have an American Accent
Trackmaster was established in the UK
+ Ucwepn how long does it normally take for something to get to your house in the mail from eBay?
+Nick Mohr Depends on which country I buy from and which postage method, from the USA by first class it can take 1 month, UK is usually 1-2 weeks, Asia is 1-2 weeks etc.
+Ucwepn It's probably about the same. I ordered a Henry and the seller was in another state, in the USA.
