4.5v Set identification

[Rail Co]

Hey Guys does anyone know what sets have a Blue SEALED 4.5v motor in it with studded train wheels and a battery box (also in blue)

It would help a bunch to see what set i have

Thanks, RailCo

P.S. I also have lamps, and a blue signal to stop the motor but i do not know if that came with a set or not

The only 4.5V train with a blue battery box is the 7720. But it comes with a black motor...

I don't know any blue motors, could you post a picture of it?

[Rail Co]

It is not the battery wagon it is just a normal battery box on those are spoked wheels not studded flanged wheels thanks for trying! :P

I believe it is 1972 or earlier and it is a blue motor with a black base, grey tires, blue batter box (not battery Wagon)

Thanks for looking :D

Hi, try this site..

That would make sense I may have the version without the wagons but i cannot be certain as i do not know what parts have been lost or broken over the years. Can you see what the words are on the 2nd wagon?

Hi Rail Co,

Since there are many variations of the motor and you haven't really been specific enough to identify yours, you have made it more difficult for us to help you.

Since you know what you have in front of you you will be better able to help yourself; the Bricklink catalogue may be more complete than the Brickset one as far as variety of old parts goes, getting to know how it works will enable you to answer these sort of questions for yourself in the future.

To get you started I'd start with a parts search for 4.5V parts;

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catID=&itemYear=&searchName=Y&searchNo=Y&q=4.5V&catLike=W

I'm guessing you have a bb07 motor, since it's the more common one; so bring up it's page and then click the link for the sets it appears in in blue;

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=bb07&colorID=7&in=A

from there you can check the inventories of the sets to see which of them is most likely.

Ok peterab That is a GREAT idea i never thought of thank you for these links.

I was wondering how better I can describe the Motor and battery box or how I can tell myself what it is.

Motor: SEALED black base to the Blue top. pin holes at the top and one of the ends along with connections at the bottom of that point. 1 Hole centered in the top of the motor showing what looks like a motor. 4 bricks tall, 12 studs long, and 4 studs wide.

Battery Box: Blue with grey base, grey lever, and grey screw. 2 pin connections on the bottom and on one of the short sides (looks like it is one that the pins were not connected (so you have to put each pin in separately 1 by 1) and the wires screw into the pin connectors). About 3 bricks tall, 11 studs long, 6 studs wide.

I hope that helps everyone more and I really Thank all of you for your troubles trying to help me

Turns out I also have 4 notched small wheels with tires and 4 notched big wheels with tires so i may have a big started set... This is so confusing

Hi Rail Co

Does your blue motor have "4,5 V" stamped on one of the small sides?

The only set a can find witch contains both the blue large motor, the blue battery box and large wheels like these: is Super Set (set no. 88) from 1969: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=088-1

If the wheels er 2*2 stud train wheels and 2*2 stud (car) wheels, there are more obtions,

like set no. 102 (4.5V Motor Set): http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=102-1

or set no. 107 (4.5V Reversible Power Unit (Motor): http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=115-2.

Hope this was helpfull.
