Entry of the National Trains
(The trains enter one by one, parading around)
Control: This is control. This is control. Tonight is race night. Lets hear it for the champion engines of the world:
From France, the 120 mph Sudest. The power of the Sudest - BLURR.
From Italy - the Rome to Milan express - the Settebello. Powered by CLIFFJUMPER.
From Germany - right on time - the Inter-Continental Express. Powered by DREADWING.
From Russia - as fast as possible - the Trans-Siberian Express. Powered by SKYQUAKE.
From Japan - the Shinkansen bullet train - the power of the bullet - PROWL. [This was originally 'the Shinkaussen'. Not sure if it was badly translated or a different type of train.]
From Great Britain - battling through the wrong kind of snow - the Royal Train. Powered by IRON HIDE.
British Rails announce a delay in the arrival of the Royal Train. This is due to staffing difficulties.
And from the US of A - the reigning champion: the greatest diesel locomotive in history - the Union Pa cific. Powered by KNOCKOUT.
