I do wish they keep Adrian Egan for the Final Cut, he was a better casting choice than Susan Roman. He makes James sound a bit older.

Adrian Egan is definitely a much better fit for James than Susan Roman. Too bad he couldn't make the final cut.

Where are these recordings of Adrian Egan's James lines?

So James did have a recasted voice actor in the finalized (VFX) Director's Cut of Magic Railroad that was test-screened in March 2000 - that being Adrian Egan. Have to say, he really does a very good Scouse accent alongside Michael Angelis. I wish we had him in the final cut than than Susan Roman in my opinion.
Also, if you guys remember the Magic RR archived deleted/B-Roll footage, then you'd probably saw the shed scene where James was talking to Mr. Conductor and there was a temp voice for the latter in place of Alec Baldwin (which I had to guess was pre-filmed before they added the final layers of the live actors in the editing stages) - for it did sound a lot like Keith Scott doing the voice in that scene (well just a small amount). And that got me thinking, what if Keith Scott was the voice of a previous Mr. Conductor in the Director's Cut of the film in the deleted flashback scene where he gave a young Burnett Stone the task of being Lady's driver/guardian? It kinda has that Ringo Starr vibe too.
