Building 10173: Holiday Train

Recommended Posts

At $10 for the base, I'm reconsidering BL'ing it.  I might do it.  Since it's for my Winter Village display, I don't mind if I don't have all the elements (like the minifigs or the bunny).

 

However, I did buy a Constitution Train to use as the base for a holiday themed train.  It's obviously going to need some mods, and I can incorporate some of the Holiday Train into the build to make it a bit more in line with a real holiday train.  I really need to think about how I'm going to execute this.

Holy thread revival, Batman!

JA have you, or anyone else, modded this with 9v OR RC motors. I have a question for anyone that has, particularly to RC.

Does anyone own the K train collection with bley track and the transformer? I am looking for the color of the transformer-track connecting piece with wires (I think that it is still old gray).

Thanks,

Red.

It was converted to 9v pretty easily (like most current & past trains). It does require 2 motors though.

Are the two motors for the engine and tender?

I added the power function train motor to this set last year, did a bit of a hack job of it though, just put the battery pack inside the passenger car and made a skylight for the IR sensor.

This is good to know as I haven't decided whether to convert it to RC or run it on the 9v track. Thanks
