Hi Jerry,

All trains are "electric" think diesel-electric. And the plane is

turbine electric. There are batteries, but they are kept charged by a

turbine engine that burns on board fuel.

The "electric" trains are also powered by a generator, although it is

located on the grid somewhere rather than on board.
