The National Engines - Espresso, The Rome - Milan Express

Milan Express

Trenitalia Flamboyantly Italian, Espresso is often very similar to Bobo in style. He races with Buffy and loses, and that's pretty much it for him. In all non-London productions, he races with Ashley. He is cut from the 2003 US and 2004 UK tours. In then Japan/Australia tour he was known as Esspresso, with his twin named "Pendelino".

Costume In the original London Espresso was the die-cast toy train painted in red and white stripes. After Broadway, he turned bright yellow. Interestingly he seems to have stolen the logo for Via Rail Canada.

Famous quotes containing the word express:

    It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
