Re: What's your LEGO 'status' today?
Do the wheels have rubber bands around them? The Power Functions train motor #88002 has clear rubber bands on its wheels. The Emerald Night #10194 and the Toy Story train #7597 likewise use either red or black rubber bands on the wheel to provide friction between the wheel and the track. Looking at the Big Ben Bricks… -
Re: 10194 Emerald Night Train .. Carriages ? Motorise? Track?
I'm not sure why this is so difficult for me, I'm sure after I do it once it will all make sense but this is my first time. So I have my EN just sitting on a shelf and it's the one and only train I own so I thought it was time to get some track and get the thing moving. After looking on s@h I couldn't make a decision on… -
Re: Can LEGO trains go up an incline?
The main governing factors of a train being able to pull its weight is: a) Is the motor powerful enough? b) Does the engine have enough enough traction against the track to utilize that power? This applies to pulling lots of cars, very heavy cars, cars around a curve, or up a grade. It's all the same really from the… -
Re: 10263 Winter Village 2018
@Legolis If you don't want to splash out for the new system, the bits required for controlled power functions with the old system are... #88000 - Battery Box £11.99 #8884 - IR Receiver £11.50 #88002 - Train Motor £11.99 #8879 - IR Remote Control £10.99. Currently they are all available from S@H but how long for now the new… -
Re: My Winter Village Project
Sorry, back to back posts. I'd also be looking to motorize #10254. I know the instructions list the IR remote and receiver. I assume these wouldn't be required? Could I just get away with #88000 and #88002 and manually turn it on/off? Also, if I wanted additional tracks, is there a recommended track-only set I could… -
Re: Predictions on Discontinuing Sets and their Secondary Market Value
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… -
Re: Train set up suggestion
There are instructions for using Power Functions in the train contained in the instructions for it. The online copy of the instructions is on the page for it here: #10254 but I've also linked it directly here. The instructions also tell you what you need. Basically, you need #8879, #8884, #88002 and #88000. You can use… -

Re: Horizon express query
Do you want to reuse parts from the Yellow Cargo when possible or do you want duplicates so both trains are ready to go at all times? If you want to reuse parts you already have from the Yellow Cargo, I think all you need extra are 8870 Lights. (Edit: Nevermind, read that you want both to run at the same time, see below :)… -
Re: Rookie needing advice please - Ghost Train 9467
Hi all, big thanks to your quick replies, it’s much appreciated. Bandit778, those links are really helpful thank you Panchox1, thank you, I too went mad on the Christmas village and bought 4 scenes, some old retired sets. They were worth it seeing my granddaughters faces when they saw them set up as I also bought the light…
