22. Re: 5001925 Horizon Express Kit!

    

    Comment by hleonffu · March 2013 · Home› Collecting

    The main reason why LEGO's combination is so expensive is that they are including the 8878 (Li-on rechargeable battery) and 8887 (charger). For the cost of the battery alone, at least in US, you can purchase 8884, 8879, 8870 and 88002 (rest of the train components). An alternative for the 8878 battery is to use the 88000…

    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…

26. Re: So I want to build a working LEGO train set . . .

    

    Comment by mustang69 · February 2016 · Home› Buying & Selling Topics

    I'll ask the question here since its pretty much the same topic, I want to motorize my #10173 Christmas Train but I want to do it the most basic way. Would it just be a matter of getting the #88002 Motor and #88000 battery box? From looking at both it seems like I would need some other cable as it looks like they only have…

27. Re: Hogwarts Express, Need Motor and Track

    

    Comment by TheLoneTensor · July 2013 · Home› Collecting

    Unfortunately this one doesn't run on normal Lego track, unless you swap out the wheels (which is possible by changing the technic pins and wheels). If you want track, you can get power-function (non wired) track from pick a brick at $3 a piece (ugh - way too expensive), but you're better off getting it in a set like the…

    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…

    Comment by Addicted2Oxygen · November 2017 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    If it is creator sets like the fairground sets then he will want m motors and a battery box. He may also want an ir receiver and ir remote control. If technic then there are more motor types, but starting with m motors is probably a safe bet. However i I would recommend starting with a set that is already motorised. The RC…

30. Re: Which tracks to buy to expand a 2011-2012 train layout?

    

    Comment by TheLoneTensor · December 2012 · Home› Building and Techniques

    Technically you can keep #7996 "straight" on both sides, as long as the trains only run in one direction on each branch line. If you run the train into the switch from along one of the diverging rails, it will allow the wheels to pass through the switch no matter the position of the points. Even if that track is closed,…
