Did you buy a kit or have you found somewhere in the UK to buy the individual components I've been looking and thought I'd buy them from the Circuit Cubes website but the shipping is nearly as much as the products! I can only seem to find kits available here but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.Hope you had a lovely Christmas!

Thanks Zephyr1934, that's really good to know. They've really enjoyed reading your 'semi autonomous locomotive' Hod Carrier so fingers crossed it will inspire them. Will definitely post whatever they manage to get going!! x

Thanks so much for this Hod Carrier. My main motivation was to save the expense of buying the Powered Up kit as we already have Mindstorms. Your video's great though. Very inspiring! The kids are going to have a go at making an engine with the Mindstorms stuff and see if they can hook it up to pull the trolley along. Might not work but it will be an interesting project to keep them busy for a bit. Will definitely have a look online and the Circuit Cubes look interesting. Many thanks for all your help. Hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Hello, I'm new to all this and not very tech minded but have recently bought the Main Street Christmas scene with the trolley bus and some train track. My son already has Lego Mindstorms. Is there any way of this to power the trolley bus around the track or would I have to buy the Power Up items? The guy in the shop said that I could use the Mindstorm parts but I've tried and I can't figure it out. Like I say, not very tech minded! Thanks in advance of any info/tips you can give me.
