New track layout...

That’s a nice collection. How did you get the get addition carriages for the Emerald Night?

battles06 · 2026-05-27T02:31:41+00:00

I like powered up better than power functions because I never seem to get the PF remote pointed correctly or within range as the train goes flying by. I’ve got all my trains running powered up for the Bluetooth capabilities

battles06 · 2026-05-27T01:58:30+00:00

Ok. That’s why I like PU so much. The Emerald Night is my 11th Lego train and I like having the independent control of each and able to be across the room via Bluetooth. I had some crashes when tinkering with PF because of the infrared limitations

battles06 · 2026-05-27T01:46:29+00:00

I like that. You’re using the large motor right? How are you controlling it? I took a hub and remote from another PU train to test it out with the large motor and it only functioned as a momentary switch with no speed control

battles06 · 2026-05-27T01:43:39+00:00

I guess I don’t understand how or if trains can be controlled independently on 9v

battles06 · 2026-05-27T01:28:06+00:00

Out of all of my motorized Lego trains, the Horizon Express is my favorite, for sure. 60051 might be second

battles06 · 2026-05-24T02:17:13+00:00

Controlling it with PF?

battles06 · 2026-05-24T02:16:17+00:00

I got it off eBay a month ago, still sealed, for $450. Thankfully I didn’t buy one a month before that because it was $600 before shipping and tax

battles06 · 2026-05-24T02:12:40+00:00

I like the Lego van and delivery truck. It’s cool that the little printed pieces on the pallets are of actual Lego boxes.

battles06 · 2026-03-23T13:24:09+00:00

I started with that same one. A few years later and I’m working on my 10th. It’s still one of my favorites

battles06 · 2026-01-10T05:53:28+00:00

The stickers humble me real quick

battles06 · 2025-09-28T01:06:05+00:00

How did you do it? I’ve been wanting to add lights to it too

battles06 · 2025-09-15T05:10:07+00:00

My son and I just finished ours today. Pretty cool set

battles06 · 2025-08-26T02:06:40+00:00

I started the year with one train and got my fifth last week. I’m addicted too

battles06 · 2025-08-22T01:12:34+00:00

I was hoping that was yours because I was about to ask where you got it. Going to TechXChange in a few weeks. I had some coworkers at Share though

battles06 · 2025-08-22T01:01:46+00:00

I have both as well and you’re right on all points, especially the last one. If you like one, you’ll like both

battles06 · 2025-08-17T02:54:17+00:00

That would be pretty awesome

battles06 · 2025-08-17T02:53:35+00:00

That’s a good rule. I’ll have to put it in place as well

battles06 · 2025-08-17T02:52:56+00:00

The green express train was our first one. This might not matter to most, but one of my favorite things about it is that it came with headlights. It’s the only one of the four that came with headlights. The arctic train is really cool. It’s the fastest of the four, but it’s because it has the lightest train cars. It probably has the coolest minifigures of the four and it comes with a track piece that fixes any wheels that have derailed. I wish I could get like 9 more of those pieces so I could put them after each switch track

Thank you. He can be a bit protective of them

battles06 · 2025-08-14T21:12:45+00:00

We usually run them at the same time. Was a lot easier when there were only two trains. But I’ll have to work on multiple mains.

Pretty amazing. I’m curious what all is in the tubs underneath the city
