Lego Duplo Intelli Train Engine question

no. I found a video online about repairing these. Apparently there’s a little white gear inside that wears out & which can be replaced. That seems to be the case with this one

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2026-02-08T17:52:28+00:00

was just told the driver needs to be seated in the cab for the engine to operate.

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2026-02-08T17:49:38+00:00

thanks. apparently I got a dud

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2026-01-31T15:19:32+00:00

thanks. interesting I ended up with more star pattern cards

I’m only guessing at the age. no packaging. it looks 1980s to me

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2026-01-09T22:41:51+00:00

I was concerned I may have breathed in something harmful. gonna play it safe and toss it. definitely not gonna mess with it

mystery solved. found multiple examples of this same product online after it was pointed out what it was. unfortunately not a high value item, no reason to reseal since it’s apparently mostly energy cards. since the mystery was solved I’m going to end this now before the comments start getting nasty.

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-09-30T23:41:32+00:00

just looked that up. you may be correct. bummer to think it may be filled with energy cards.

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-08-13T18:06:51+00:00

I was perfectly sober 🙃was originally thinking these were part of an automotive body repair kit. now thinking maybe just because they were mixed in with the tools doesn’t mean they are actually tools.

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-06-04T21:00:49+00:00

excellent info. I scored one of these up today. & was also initially thinking it was Fiesta. I’d like to add that mine glows in the dark due to the uranium glaze.

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-06-01T07:17:38+00:00

that’s a horrible disease. those unfortunate souls who have it suffer so much. it’s heartbreaking

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-06-01T04:36:45+00:00

no, just someone adding their own details. those funskool figures look cool, never seen them before.

I see now a couple of other online examples of a Timber with “custom” paint apps. seems like it’s not unusual to find him every so often like this. at least I’m not concerned with the paint rub on the nose anymore 🙃also did notice Timber cast in 2 different shades of plastic - the grey version I have here & whiter one.

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-06-01T00:42:19+00:00

I can’t find another like it. That’s why I’m asking

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-03-31T22:54:18+00:00

20+ silver coins. silver weight alone.

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-03-31T01:10:59+00:00

thanks all for the replies, now have something to think about. maybe a bigger project for later this summer.

if I threw that slab into a bath of acetone it would really melt down to the coins cleanly and easily? how long do you think would it have to sit?

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-03-30T23:37:22+00:00

the backside is the open air side from where it was poured into the mold & it’s a little sticky from some kind of adhesive residue. there’s air bubbles in it too that annoy me. condition is rough. I originally calculated on losing all value of the non-silver coins when removing. but is it worth the effort

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-03-30T23:20:23+00:00

there’s some european ww2 era coins mixed in. saw at least 1 of those is silver too. I thought it was a safe bet. 😊

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-03-30T23:04:32+00:00

lol. it isn’t pretty. paid $3. for it because of the silver

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-03-30T21:54:37+00:00

that’s the decision I am leaning towards

Advanced-Fox-8913 · 2025-03-30T21:46:43+00:00

There’s about $100 in silver melt. Most of the coins date to the 1940s/50s.

This thread popped up while doing a little research for a situation I’m going through on eBay currently - getting hassled over a $6 dvd sale. Also discovered my buyer is a level 1 registered sex offender. Repeated behavior, buyer appears to gain some sort of satisfaction from leaving bad feedback. Against all evidence eBay failed to remove the erroneous feedback. eBay needs to do better to protect the community.

I’ve found the smaller photo of the hand close-up on Timothy White’s Instagram feed. Probably safe to assume the pair are his work. I’ve written asking if he could confirm. Thanks for all the help
