Hi everyone this information I am about to tell you should clean up all the confusion and delay about the two versions of the TrackMaster Knapford station.
To note firstly, Knapford station was only released in the US, from 2007 - 2009 by only TrackMaster HiT Toys Company.
In 2007, Knapford station was sold as a destination piece on its own, with four switches, no green battery panel, and the numbers 1-4 under the station's canopy was sticker decals.
In the same year, 2007, the set Thomas & Emily at Knapford Station was released which included the same station included above in the set. Both of these sets were discontinued by early 2009.
Then in 2009, the second version of Knapford station was released. This version has a green battery cover for 3 AA batteries which were meant to power up the numbers under the canopy, which were fitted with lights, sounds and wires - for unknown reasons this idea was never finished and the final product was likely never finished, suggesting that this version of Knapford station was released around mid 2009, towards the very end of the HiT Toys TrackMaster in US knowing that Mattel started selling the TrackMaster Fisher Price range in late 2009. The second version of Knapford station was included in a new destination being Knapford Station Celebration, which included the exclusive Celebration Thomas.
As for the Knapford Station Celebration Set released around the same time in mid 2009 at the end of range's time, it also had the second version of Knapford station. Both of the second releases of Knapford station were discontinued by late 2009 along with the other products from the TrackMaster HiT Toys Company range.
