   Hello,

I’ve dug up my old Lego trains and am planning on putting it back together for my kids to play with. When I went on the Lego site I noticed that they have completely changed the rails and trains.

My set is still the one with the blue rails and the glider strip in the middle that powers the train. I’m in need of a transformer for this kit, since I’ve moved to Canada from Holland, and for obvious reasons the transformer I have does not work.

Any ideas where I could get these parts ?

Welcome back into trains. I would second Tim’s suggestion of checking out Bricklink. Personally, I would forget about Ebay.

Also, if I were you, I would consider converting to the new RC battery system-- it might be cheaper for you without any loss of compatibility of your track, and more importantly, any loss in the fun factor for your kids:-)

Good luck and Leg Godt!

JOHN

(...) Thanks for all the replies ! I found item x1688c01 (motor) and item 2868b (speed control), so would this be all I need ? Thanks for all your help. Rob. (18 years ago, 19-Nov-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
