Train Question

[jof]

It looks to me that Legoland are selling part pack of these trains

in the clearance shop.

The price for the bogies & base plate is high (& I have enouth of them already)

They are are also selling bags (loose/assorted) of the bits to make the train bodies.

However I don't know if these make up the whole train body, or just part of it.

I don't know if they are the small or large engines

They don't have corresponding tender parts.

And what do yu think would be a reasonable price to pay?

(I think its a good idea to sell random bags of stuff in clearance shop, as you never know what you may come across)

From what you describe those are the packs the My Own Train consist of:

* One pack with pieces for the main "body" (Small Engine, Large Engine)

* One pack for the tender

* One color pack (Blue, Green, Black, Brown, Dark Gray)

That way you can buy one engine (one pack of each of the above), and with a color pack you can change the color (for the small or the large engine, and the tender).

I bought a small black engine with tender once (15 Euro on ebay) and then found a brown color pack in a German LEGO Shop and paid 10 Euro for it. That was about 2 years ago.

S@H price for a small engine without tender is GPB 12.50, with tender GBP 18.75. So I'd say 5-7 Euro is a good deal for one bag, 10 Euro is ok (although not really "clearance" IMO), anything more is too expensive.

PS: Just noticed your title :-D *y*
