Some new hauls

Spent last night fixing up some trains

Now the train platform is too short

The grey train is the Metroliner 4558 and Club Car 4557, Lego did a rerelease back in 2001 as set 10001 and 10002. It comes with a 9V motor and speed regulator
Blue tram is from City Public Transport 8404
Green steam powered train - Emerald Night 10194

Single motor on each train- it will pull but at a slower speed. It slows down even more when it comes to corners and it crawls on flexi track.
The motor on the passenger train tends to slip on corners, 2 motors runs beautifully

Yup, town square is in there

I wish it could be permanent This setup has taken over my entire living room so will have to put them back into the storage boxes after a few days and move back my coffee table & sofa


Next would be the Lone Ranger train
Long trains take up too much straight tracks just for the depot

Glad to see Lego reproducing the rare dark blue arches for the Winter Village Market



I'm now tempted to BL the parts for Market Street minus the rare white hoses

Yodobashi & Bic Camera sometimes have discounts on sets. Prices here are lower than retail and they do carry some modulars and some UCS Star Wars.

Another alternative is to order from Amazon.co.jp and have it shipped to your hotel, check with your hotel and get the full address in Japanese, delivery is usually within 2 days. Some good deals at the moment - Horizon Express, City Garage, Town Square, LOTR Pirate Ship

There is a Lego-brand store ClickBrick in Venus Fort Odaiba & Roppongi but prices here are full retail. Almost complete range of all sets, keychains, build a minifig - 3 figs for 600yen.

If you're looking for minifig display boxes, check out Tokyu Hands and Daiso.
