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:

    I cannot express the pleasure I have in writing down my thoughts [in her journal], at the very moment—my opinion of people when I first see them, and how I alter, or how confirm myself in it—and I am much deceived in my foresight, if I shall not have very great delight in reading this living proof of my manner of passing my time, my sentiments, my thoughts of people I know, and a thousand other things in future.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
