I was not aware you could mix PU and PF systems. So, I could get the PU hub (to use the app) and connect to the original PF motors?

That is awesome! Thank you for sharing! Does your EN have PU or PF? Do you have a recommendation between the two systems?

Thank you for sharing! I did see the original EN green pieces are crazy expensive on Bricklink. I was thinking red or black anyway. Would Bricklink be the best place to get the PF parts? Are these the four that I need? 8879 IR Speed Remote Control. 8884 IR Receiver. 88000 AAA Battery Box. 88002 Train Motor.

Prefacing by saying I've never had a Lego train before; so I know very little about this area of Lego. I would like a steam engine with coaches; and as far as I know, Emerald Night is the only official Lego set like that. I have seen tons of amazing steam engine mocs, but haven't found any with free instructions that are similar to the Emerald Night. So EN it is, then. Since it's my first train, I should start smaller anyway. From what I've read, the PU system is definitely a superior system compared to the older PF IR setup. So, besides the actual PU system, what bricks do I need to buy to help the conversion process be smooth (for example different motor, wheels, plates, etc)? Thanks!
