Tomynewacoliver's Custom Talking Engines

Following his success with Oliver (and an English speaking Diesel 10 with a FP Talking [Devious] Diesel battery truck), he revisited the idea and made a TnA Mavis earlier this month. She too uses her MFT sound board and was made with a TnA Gordon track sensor, another Japanese Edward sound truck and a Works Unit coach top from a Japanese Percy; the latter was originally motorised (same as Harvey's) and had its roof modded to fit the sound switch and buttons:



Due to Mavis having a quieter drive unit and being designed for a C battery, she's even more suitable for the mod compared to flat drive engines like Oliver. Demonstration video

With the resources, knowledge and effort needed for such a complex mod, I didn't think he would ever do this again. Then again, it is the same person who made a bilingual talking Gauge 1 Thomas with boards from three different toys. According to this tweet, he has plans to build even more TnA versions of minor characters that have talking merch.
