pelle Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Hello, I'm trying to build a 4,5 V hogwarts express, mostly out of lego 4708. I'm adding a photo of a first prototype (0-4-0). At this time I'm working on a 0-4-2 hogwarts express steam engine (also 4,5 V). Does anyone know a way to connect rods on the driving wheels (other than part x564)? I'm using motor type C (4,5 V): it's possible to make use of the extra hole in the motor to have some rod's moving around but it's not really a sight because they are too far away from the driving wheels. I'm also struggling to give the 4,5 V battery wagon a realistic look. All tips are welcome. I'll post photo's of the newer version soon. Quote
Gideon8 Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Cool idea! Is your battery wagon red? It could be appear as an appropriate tender if it maybe also has some HP stickers... Edited June 18, 2018 by Gideon8 Missed the x564 part in your post. :) Quote

I removed the original stickers (so I can use them later when wanted). I'm looking for a way tot "rebuild" the battery wagons to something that seems as a "real" wagon. I never saw pictures of something like that. If you have any ideas for the rods on the driving wheels: please let me know. Part x564 is Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Nice to see the mix between 4,5 v era and modern pieces! Quote
