5300 and 10153 are from the former 9V train system and drew power from the metal tracks. They were controlled using a transformer attached to the tracks. 88002 runs on battery power from an onboard battery box. Trains with this kind of motor can run at a set speed, or can be controlled by adding IR remote controllers. Regarding compatibility, the 5300 and ...

According to the product description on the LEGO® webn site, the LEGO® Power Functions Train Motor 88002, can be used to motorise the Western Train Chase. The train wheels normally fit directly to this motor, so I'm sure that this train can be used on normal LEGO® tracks. Looking at the instructions for both the Red Cargo Train and the Western Train Chase, ...

The strict minimum you need for PF motorization is: Tracks. Sounds obvious, but don't forget these. Nope, there are none with the Maersk train. A PF train motor A PF battery box (plus 6 AAA batteries) Now, as oezi says, it's a bit senseless to have a train which you can't control. Well, you can control it, but it's limited to switching it on and off (if ...

The transformer can be omitted, if you find a suitable, cheaper one. Take a look at this question for more information about the exact requirements.

I used a grey 4 stud technic brick with 4 holes because didn't have two grey 1 stud 1hole technic bricks.

When I added lights to the Train Engine Operator cabin - I had to create more room inside so the train engine became a bit less sturdy. You ...

These light fit in a regular Technic hole, and thus have the same diameter as a stud. I would recommend fitting them in the so-called "Erling" brick; after all, one of its regular (aka "boring") names is "Brick, 1 x 1 with headlight": . The only problem you'll have is that the light extends quite a bit at the back, but you can easily solve that by using a ...

We tried motorizing our Western Train Chase with the Power Function box as suggested on the LEGO site. It doesn't work. Their isn't even enough power for it to pull the engine by itself. The battery box itself is really heavy. I wrote my complaint to Lego. On top of this problem, we also don't have enough curved track (despite the purchase of 3 boxes of ...

You don't need the rechargeable battery box and that's the most expensive part. Get the AAA battery box and use your own rechargeable batteries. $13 88000 AAA Battery box $14 88002 Train Motor $13 8879 IR Speed Remote $15 8884 IR Receiver That's about $55. Not cheap but not over the top. You'll also need tracks but even on a set you're going to need to ...
