hi, from the Netherlands

[PenetratorNL]

hello,

i registered some time ago, but now its time to introduce myself.

My name is Dave, 28 years old, i have a kid who is almost 2, and we are from The Netherlands.

A couple of weeks ago i picked up my old LEGO from the addict of my parents, and started building again.

I found some instructions (i've lost the most of them) and i just completed the 7715 push along train, with the 7745 12v motor to circle my Christmas-tree later on.

I also start with the build of the 7745, without motor now, but i'm planning to convert them all to Power-functions because i only have an oval of 12v track and nothing more.

I do have another train of the 4.5v/12v era, according to the pieces i've found.

Unfortunately i wasn't very careful with my Lego when i was little, so i'm missing some parts, i miss 4 train doors from the 7745, a couple of red train wheels from the 7715, and all of the wires.

also 2 of the red and black panels are missing from the 7745.

the train-wheels aren't that of a problem because the plan of conversion, but i didn't found a "train-wheel kit" anywhere? how do u guys get spare or new parts?

well, i think thats all for now :-)

greetings from Holland

Dave

welcome and enjoy the boards.

I get most of my parts from Bricklink, it's sort of a -lego only- Marketplace.

Hi and welcome, it's always nice to see a new Dutch guy on this board. For questions feel free to send me a pm in Dutch.

thnx for the reply's :-)

my 7715 is ready and tested on a circle of 12v track, the rubber bands where still on the wheels when i got my lego here at home, but after a few rounds around the track, the rubber bands where gone, just completely dried out over the years.

my 7745 is half way done, (passenger wagon done, Loc for 75% done, and diner car not build yet) but already standing proudly in the book-case next to the 7715 :p

if the PF conversion is complete, my next goal is to build a dutch NS loc, which one i don't know yet
