Boxed (5 out of 10 condition) with instructions (1-Page loose). Currently built and beautiful. £275 shipped. #4184…

    @benbacardi To motorize the train, I'd recommend Power Functions #88000, #88002, #8884, and #8879. All in stock at Lego.com this morning. The Powered Up battery box appears to have a blue-tooth receiver built in, but I don't see it listed for sale as a separate part. It looks like the connectors are incompatible between…

    The back of the box (#10254) indicates what you need: - #8879 IR Speed Remote Control - #8884 IR Receiver - #88000 AAA Battery Box - #88002 Train Motor As other have pointed out, it is probably a better deal to get one of the current City trains: #60051, #60052, #60098 (the first two are usually on discount). You will get…

    Comment by ecmo47 · November 2015 · Home› Building and Techniques

    Power functions are not hard to figure out. First of all, both sets of instructions show you exactly how to hook in a motor and battery box. On both, the gearing takes care of the proper speed and all you have to do is turn the battery box on and off. You could run both motors of the same battery box if desired. If you…

    2x - 8878 - Rechargeable Battery Box 1x - 8887 - 10V Transformer 2x - 8884 - IR Receiver 1x - 8879 - IR Speed Controller 2x - 88002 - Train Motor 2x - 8870 - Lights Total cost of all that is $223. Now, can you do the AA battery thing? Sure... But those cost money and don't last all that long, and are a pain to change. The…

    I've just put together a bricklist of the essentials, though not sure if it's published yet: http://brickset.com/sets/list-10993 If not, the basics to get you going are: #88000 - battery box (there is rechargeable version (#8878) with a transformer (#8887), but those will set you back over £60!) #88002 - Train motor #8884…
