Hi There, has anyone converted a hogwarts express kit 4708/4841 to add power to it? is this possible? Mark

Well after some fantastic advice from this forum i have finally taken the plunge. After a great (and expensive) trip to the lego shop in Milton Keynes, i am now the happy owner of 60052 (ok i bought lots of other bits as well). Been building for a few days now and am really impressed with the design and the build. thanks for the advice and such a great forum, am now really looking forward to Brick2014 where hopefully will be able to meet some like minded souls. :)

again more excellent advice, thank you all. as a beginner with nothing at all is there a set you would recommend? i've already had a recommendation for the cargo train and that looks fairly comprehensive as a start. any other recommendations and any comments on kit from ebay? ta

ah thanks for that, it starts to make a little more sense. it did look like the contents of the sets were quite similar (except for, as you say, more stuff) so i was struggling to figure out what the difference was. battery power will suit me at this point so will have a look and see what i can find. thanks

Hi there, newbie question and apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. what's the difference between all of the current lego train sets? i.e. why am i spending £180 on a horizon express as opposed to £99 on a passenger train. i assume it's the motor and control functions but it's not obvious. also what is the difference between current sets and the old sets? i have seen 9v and 12v advertised. thanks Mark
