The fisher price Talking Gordon came with one and two toots on his "Hello I'm Gordon" and "Full Steam Ahead" phrase. Some of the newer tender engines have their battery compartments as part of their motors, contained within the engine boiler so as to avoid having a wire that could break between the two parts of the engine.

However, a hole exists for side rods on the driving wheels.

Much like his Plarail model, Winston has a front coupling and a Sir Topham Hatt figurine, but unlike the Plarail model, the Motorized version of said figurine is not removable.
