pikappa79 Posted August 19, 2011 Hi! I added Power Functions to my old Lego Train 7745. Unfortunately, adding Battery Box and IR Receiver I had to remove some details (see in the brickshelf gallery picture dsc01456.jpg) and use additional bricks (dsc01466.jpg). Just buy another 8870 set (and probably a wire - 8886 set) I complete the gallery with the other 2 cars. 12v original bricks position (dsc01431.jpg, dsc01432.jpg): Lights assembly (dsc01427.jpg): My personal PF bricks position (dsc01429.jpg, dsc01430.jpg): IR Receiver & Battery Box (dsc01437.jpg, dsc01442.jpg): Removed bricks (dsc01456.jpg): Goodbye "Motors"! Additional bricks (dsc01466.jpg): More images: Complete Brickshelf Gallery Test: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Very nice realization! I like the new led system, very clever; but why don't you deeplink your pictures directly in your topic? It would be usefull. Great work! Edited August 20, 2011 by LEGO Train 12 Volts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great work! Done! A Moderator could change topic title in "MOD: 7745 with Power Functions" and description in "Lego Train 7745 converted into PF Mode"? Thanks Edited August 20, 2011 by pikappa79 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoomedACE Posted September 4, 2017 Thank you for the inspiration! I did the same, just yesterday. I used my Buwizz box, which eliminated the need for an IR receiver. But I did not swap out the lights and cabling. What I was thinking, is could you reuse the existing cabling and lights, by creating an adapter cable from power functions to 12 v, by cutting a PF extension cord, and using the 2 outer (left and right) strands. Would that work? I tried the search, but I did not find something related to pf to 12 v conversion cable.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breakdown Posted September 5, 2017 When I did mine, I removed the prisms and the LED lights go right through. They don't allow the 1X1 clear plates to mount, but they do create a lot more light. Your design is good as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
