at the moment i have very little time, so my currently 2 models (with one half way finished) are standing proudly in the book-case, and the rest of my lego (when cleaned up) is upstairs, only when i build, the lego comes downstairs, my wife doesnt really care about lego, but thinks the models are nice. My kid loves my 2 trains and yells at them very often (he is almost 2), so for Sinterklaas (a dutch holiday on December 5th) he got a DUPLO train, that his grandfather and i (with lots of fun) build, complete with track and buildings.. and how long we where busy with building (without manual), how quickly my kid destroyed the whole track, buildings, train and played the rest of the evening with the underbody of the train :p hahaha.

thnx for the reply's :-) my 7715 is ready and tested on a circle of 12v track, the rubber bands where still on the wheels when i got my lego here at home, but after a few rounds around the track, the rubber bands where gone, just completely dried out over the years. my 7745 is half way done, (passenger wagon done, Loc for 75% done, and diner car not build yet) but already standing proudly in the book-case next to the 7715 :p if the PF conversion is complete, my next goal is to build a dutch NS loc, which one i don't know yet

hello, i registered some time ago, but now its time to introduce myself. My name is Dave, 28 years old, i have a kid who is almost 2, and we are from The Netherlands. A couple of weeks ago i picked up my old LEGO from the addict of my parents, and started building again. I found some instructions (i've lost the most of them) and i just completed the 7715 push along train, with the 7745 12v motor to circle my Christmas-tree later on. I also start with the build of the 7745, without motor now, but i'm planning to convert them all to Power-functions because i only have an oval of 12v track and nothing more. I do have another train of the 4.5v/12v era, according to the pieces i've found. Unfortunately i wasn't very careful with my Lego when i was little, so i'm missing some parts, i miss 4 train doors from the 7745, a couple of red train wheels from the 7715, and all of the wires. also 2 of the red and black panels are missing from the 7745. the train-wheels aren't that of a problem because the plan of conversion, but i didn't found a "train-wheel kit" anywhere? how do u guys get spare or new parts? well, i think thats all for now :-) greetings from Holland Dave
