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

I found item x1688c01 (motor) and item 2868b (speed control), so would this be
all I need ? Thanks for all your help.
Rob.
