LEGO Train 12 Volts

I've that set and is one of my favorite locomotives (with set 182) but those rods are too yellow and too weak for the gray era in my opinion. Oh yes, I will use 5 warm leds (the doors are there also to cover wires of tail lights)! I can't immagine one of my locomotive without lights!

Nice idea, I can use the 12 volts motor (part. X550a) and leave the locomotive with the original wheels ...however the piston rods cannot be used

So ...thanks @Paperinik77pk and @Selander for your view, I think that Davide has a true purist point of view (an I respect it), but giving up the red cylinders, the red base and the doors is a violence for me ... the red base, however, with a red engine would remind too much the 7715 and the 7727, locomotives that I already have (also with a tender in 7750 style) I think I will try the solution suggested by @Selander since I don't respect the original design so much ... if I have to make a bang I have to do it big!

Lol! I understand, the only thing is that you have to make sure that the two receivers pick up the signal simultaneously to avoid unpleasant consequences.

I have always snubbed the 7710 set because it is not motorized, but after seeing the various models made by @Paperinik77pk during these days I'm evaluating the idea of expanding my collection of 12 volts by purchasing this set and power it immediately! The doubt, however, is: Red engine or Black engine? The red engine costs a fortune but the black engine makes the locomotive too dark. So I thought of replacing the black base with a red one and matching the black engine. Which of the two versions do you prefer? I put some photos of the renderings made today with the locomotives in comparison and the related convoys! ...ah I was forgetting ...I added the doors to the locomotive to make it a little more valuable, without them it reminded me of my very first (and needy ) set 171.

Why don't you use a single battery pack to power both motors and save space even of the double receiver? In any case, a beautiful construction technique and an intriguing model!

Very cool!
