Hi everyone,
just taking the discussion away from my hello post and putting it in the correct area.
So few things I'm looking at doing and finding out.
Mod a train to take 4x aaa in the engine not a connecting carriage.
possibly motor swap with higher RPM motor and maintain the 2x aaa batteries.
questions are: 1. has anyone found a place to buy replacement motor drive gears I would prefer not to have to take the originals on and off as over time I can see problems occuring with looseness.
2. does anyone know what the standard RPM motors are, don't want to go buy 1 from ebay and have it be just the same RPM and don't really fancy pulling out a timing light to figure it out haha.
3. we currently have 3 of these thomas sets with the dark grey tracks (4 soon after his birthday). It's difficult to utilize all 3 tracks to make 1 big track are there any suggestions on how to make these tracks easier, I make my own track but often with under 1/2 of the parts because they seem so specially suited to their own set it's difficult to join them at the right angles.
