Trackmaster Talking Edward 2013 Unboxing review and first run. Onboard cam

Watch my thorough review of this new release, the good and bad will all be revealed and then take a ride with the onboard camera.
Hey Guys and Gals this Trackmaster Talking Edward arrived today and I was excited to share it with you all and see it for myself. It arrived without batteries so I opened it before filming and inserted the 3xAAA batteries in the tender and resealed it.
The first thing that you notice on this Talking Edward is the massively long tender it almost looks too big with little Edward and the size of the tender causes problems I will discuss further on. The loco lacks any real detailing like stripes or handrails that are painted which is disappointing on a premium locomotive like this. This Edward has the latest animated version face. The shell seems to be recycled from the regular 2012 Edward except for a couple of minor differences (the cab roof switch and the talking button), the shell still features the tab to hold it down at the rear of the cab that the regular version has.
The talking is rather good as is the chuffing sound which is constant when his wheels are on the rails, he says several phrases that I have even subtitled for you in the video.
The performance of this locomotive is slow but he can pull a very decent load even up the steep Knapford hill. 6 express coaches are no problem for this Edward and he never stalled pulling this load, proving to be a really useful engine after all. The motor is on the noisy side but not unbearable and his sound speaker can clearly be heard on the other side of the room. Turntable testing was a complete failure and I can't understand why they can't make these engines work on the turntable, Tomy did it just fine! as you will see in my upcoming "Talk n Action" James video. The premium locomotives should work with the premium set, this motorized turntable set is still sought after and not a 6 month fad like the movie tie in sets of late. I hate to see how this locomotive would perform on something like the Sodor castle set as it can not free roll.
Anyway a decent engine and the running makes up for average looks and the sound is great!
I give this Trackmaster Talking Edward a 7.5/10
its ok but Fisher Price could have made it so much better! little details like paint can make all the difference and you have to learn adults can and do affect the buying choices of their children so you need to give better value on a premium item such as this.
Thanks for watching!

[@HankAmericanEngine]

Thank you for such a kind shout-out my friend! I'm glad you like that Edward; he was certainly a hard one to find before Fisher-Price began to make all their engines run on those flat-type drive units.

[@ryansenzig7002]

Edward is pulling 6 of Henry’s Coaches!

[@TameGalaxy8439]

man i miss this era of talking engines and this trackmaster era in general 😢

[@FlyingFoxandBambi4475]

I agree with you, mate.

[@TheEpicGamerBoyYT]

@@FlyingFoxandBambi4475 I thought original trackmaster and Tony engines and stuff are better than the tm2 engines or something idk

[@MrSuperMole]

Edward is really cool :) Your layout is amazing!

[@TheHIROD51]

Good review! Edward would look much better with painted details, at least it's got cab windows. I own that early 2009-10 TM Fisher-Price Edward, and I really like it.

[@lillrice27]

TheHIROD51 does it have the cgi face?

[@ZackAttackProductions]

The another cool thing I like about the talking Edward is the fact that there are windows on the front. Also the talking James isn't too bad, I quite like the fact that he is almost levelled to Edward, which is what it should be. Also I like the face. It's almost perfect.

[@ToyTrainsUpClose]

The on board camera is very cool! ;)

I've had that Edward before and I now just noticed this but Edward has no red lining

[@janiceandcliff]

Great review again, enjoyed the on board section aswell, nice to see your layout from the trains' perspective. Cliff.

[@SuperGunzilla]

He is an alright, But Tender is really Big for Turntables. (They Need to Fix that) I would buy if I had some spare money XD Nice Review

[@langkawiaviation]

Good old Edward 😍😍😍.

[@angrybirdsfan2003]

I have the TOMY Edward which was produced either late 1994 or early 1995.

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

The Plarail Edward was first released in 1996.

[@MGTF74]

Looks like you got the early version of the talking Edward. What my version has is the same problem as the 2012 Edward where the front wheel isn't on the ground.

[@metal_wheels]

i know this is a 1 yr old comment but your talking edward (which has the raissed front wheels) is kinda rare, because i try doing a research i can't find it

[@Jediah-s6p]

@@metal_wheelsmaybe just a manufacturing error ig

[@ThatTrackmasterGuy]

i like how big the tender is

[@Jediah-s6p]

I personally think it’s a bit jarring to look at.

[@Tacobellprincess]

My son loves your videos and he has been obsessing over this one for weeks. He won't stop asking for this train, but I can't find it sold ANYWHERE. I am in the States but I can't even find it for sale on the internet. Can you help direct me to where I can buy one?

[@ucwepn]

Hi heres one on ebay, it says they mail to worldwide. Thanks so much for watching my vids! www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fisher-Price-Thomas-Friends-Trackmaster-Motorized-TALKING-EDWARD-/261348093322?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Model_Railways&hash=item3cd98f6d8a#shpCntId

[@jayo1212]

I'm just curious as to why your streetcar tracks use broken diamond switches...

[@ShortStumpyEngine]

It was strange, since there were still versions of this talking model with the front wheels still locked in position.

[@BigJoe7324]

I went to Walmart to day and someone bought Coners race to the castle and put a thomas, the battery to the back of a 3 speed thomas, and coners coach! LOL

[@Oliver1Fan]

HE LOOKS SOO COOL!! Awesome review!

[@evinK-wd8wf]

[@LansdaleRailfan]

[@annmorland802]

Can you add an HO Scale Graham white eBell on your Trackmaster talking Edward and see how ebell sounds like?

[@TobyPasman]

I just got a Talking Edward today. I got mine at Walmart.

[@Miksolo]

What kind of camera was used for the first person view?

[@ucwepn]

hi its called an 808 #16 it films in 720p

[@Miksolo]

Ucwepn It's smaller than a GoPro? owo

[@ucwepn]

+Miksolo Plays yes the size of a keyring, go pro wouldn't get under the bridges :P

[@Miksolo]

Ucwepn Exactly. I wanted to use GoPro for first-person views... And then it turned out that it constantly got stuck on bridges or dragged stations down the track with it.

Loved the onboard camera and he did well pulling all the carriages. Also where can we get the motorised turntable from? Zane would love one with his xmas money as santa ran out :-)

[@ucwepn]

Hi Guys I got my Turntable from Myer they are definitely worth trying, maybe ring a few stores and speak to toy dept.

[@alisonwightwick]

Thanks will give them a buzz

[@metal_wheels]

i like the eddie voice lol

[@alexmorland7924]

Trackmaster Talking Edward should have a CSX ES44AC (ES44AH) sound on it like I would add a CSX ES44AC (ES44AH) sound on mine. Thank you, and greetings from Alabama.

[@TheThriller792]

This Edward looks better then the 2012 one, but the tenders too big.

Do you have Talken Henry?

[@samwong4827]

Hi, do you have any of the new plarail talking engines?

[@ucwepn]

Hi no I don't yet as the prices on ebay are stupidly high due to it being so new... I am yet to know if it speaks English or Japanese too.
