   Thanks, tracks in my basket! So just seen on YouTube someone used the train #60197 to power up #10254, getting the power, extra track as well (which I presume is compatible). Also he used iPhone to control. So is there a difference in the powered functions? I’d rather just use iPhone to control, is this the newer version?…

Is this the same powered up as in Lego city train #60197? Did you buy it separate or from another set? Which if so? Could you post some details and/or pics to show me please? Was it easy? In this video https://youtu.be/9WVruryaM0A he puts the motor on the train and battery box in the tender. Not sure which is better?…

   I did mod the #10254 with #60197's parts. It's very much possible, but you may want to add the motor to a extra carriage, one which contains both the motor and the batterybox - because due to too little weight in the locomotive. When just putting the motor in the loc (and the battery box in the tender), the motor (which…

   So lots on eBay for the original power functions. They have sets of what the #10254 actually needs but it’s around £60. Whereas the #60197 train with newer powered up is around £100, and this used an app which I think is more convenient, and also would get extra track. I’d like to hear from anyone else who has used the…

all my winter village stuff is packed up for a move so I can't take a pic. I did buy #60197 and use the components and track. Modding the tender was pretty straight forward if you have the right parts. I did order some additional panels to make it all match. it just needs to be a little bigger to conceal the battery…

   Yes, I'm sure #60197's Powered Up parts will work, just not exactly the same way as the older Power Functions items. For one, you won't need to remove parts to fit the #8884 IR Receiver, which is a good thing. Yes, Powered Up is the newer system. I don't have any experience with it, so can't make any claims about its…
