English Electric Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Well I thought I would post the results of my efforts today, nothing special but my son decided to get the monster fighters ghost train set with some of his Christmas money, and after he finished building it this morning he instantly said to me "can we add power functions daddy?" So here is the result, the other side isn't complete yet as I didn't have enough parts, I also had to raise the front by one flat so that the flangeless driving wheel didn't derail the train on the exit from bends, can't find a better solution for that yet! Let me know what you think! Cheers, Dave Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Very nice work and beautiful ghost! Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Well done - I still haven't built this train yet. I'd like to see it around the track with the PF motor. Quote

dr_spock Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Nice. I've meaning to PF mine but haven't got around to building it yet. Too many contests on EB taking up time. :-D Quote

English Electric Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Thanks for your comments guys, as promised here is a quick video, apologies for the poor quality camera work!!! Cheers, Dave Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Looks good, are you planning on adding proper train wheels to the wagons as well? It would be nice to see the whole train going around the track. Quote
Lazarus Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 sorry but that set looks so bad. such a poor design from lego. Quote

It would be nice to see the whole train going around the track. Possibly yes, just won't be able to make the bat wings flap as the eccentrics sit behind the existing wheels and will need to be removed to fit track gauge.

legotrainzman Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Nice mod to the train, it looks great Quote
RedBrick1 Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Nice, this set was never one of my favorites, but your mod by all means improved it a lot. I really like the tender design. Edited December 30, 2012 by RedBrick1 Quote
James_T_Menendez Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks, after read this post I buy it, and with a good Amazon.ES discount buy three more for pieces of steam locomotives. Quote
