I bought stuff off eBay before and sold things. It’s usually pretty safe. Honestly, it’s probably more risky for a seller to get scammed. To your question Pamela I think he wanted to try and find a used one local if possible. If not I did see one on Bricklink for $40 new so I’m probably just going to point him at that.
Did you contact PennLUG about participating in the summer trolley event? This is the email address I have for Cale: “Cale” <[email protected]>
Thanks Greg, I will look into that.
The engine is this video has those custom wheels and the moving bar thingy, whatever it is called.
They’re “Side rods” or “Drive rods”
The original intent we to attempt to put 9v rails in the clear tracks shown below and run a 9v Ice planet space train. It looks like I will have no trouble running an RC train on it instead.
Okay gotcha. Those are sweet, where did they come from?
Okay, I’m confused, I can’t fathom why you would need metal rails if you are using batteries? Anyway, I would strongly recommend against removing metal from the rails. It’s basically folded and crimped around the plastic, as I’ve pointed out in the picture below, it would not be easy to reattach and if you did it would not have quite the same affect. RC/Power Functions trains will run on anything, including the floor, because the battery is going to turn the wheels to matter what, I’ve seen people make troughs out of wood to run PF trains on.
I would be willing to help out if it meant they’d be open to coming to the trolley museum to display for our summer “Trolley Fair” event as I posted about in the other “2018 events” thread.
There is a big glut at the moment. Many old timers that collected trains are passing away and/or thier collections are being liquidated. The trolley museum has been getting many donations from families recently because it is a difficult market to be a seller in at this time.
That’s great! North Hills, Washington PA, where?
It’s at Burgettstown as the STEAM instructor.
I am planning to buy and ship a new box,
If you’re still looking for a box, I have one that’s been folded flat.
But Laura, how do you feel about motion capture? #freeAndySerkis!
Andy Serkis’s saliva can be seen on screen coming from the CG Gollum’s mouth. He ran around in the dirt to not only voice, but capture the spirit of the character. He deserves the credit.
Chris Pratt has Owen Raptor-Whisperer now… so depending on whether you think he gets credit for Emmet, he may be right up there with Davis and Molina… what say ye?
I would give him credit for 3 IMO I say voice acting counts.
Also, did they ever make a Jane Foster (Thor) fig? Cause if so Natalie Portman would have credit for her and Padme.
Target (as some of you know) is clearing out LEGO stock. I also found that Walmart has some nice deals. From what I saw, the more expensive sets seemed to be marked down ~$15, sets in the $20 price range were marked down about $5 and $30 sets were marked down about ~$10.
I remember hearing stories this past weekend about how good you are at bullying the ToysRUs employees into doing your bidding.
I’m a teacher, I’m good at making people do my bidding. Bwahahahahhahaha!! But in this situation I don’t think it’d happen. 😛
