I'm looking for advise on repair or replacement
Specifically I would like answers to the following questions:
Where do i buy a replacement trainengine ?
Where do i buy an electric motor to replace the burnt one ?
Is it possible to let the 9V train motor (kit # 5300 i believe) run on the old 4,5V blue tracks (supposed i fix it with a 9 V- battery). I'm specially worried about the wheel profile being able to negotiate the points.
Is it possible to fix wheels with train-type flanges to the engine that looks about the same as my old one but has technic-style axle holes ?
Does anyone have another idea to get me running again ?
Thanks in advance for bothering to reply !
