That's very kind of you. I am sure the admins are going to have an interesting
time verifing these! Despite my cheeky comment, I do actually enjoy working on
products like these. When LEGO makes something new, we have to figure out how
to make it work with our catalog.

Only the minifigures that are shown completely built in the building instructions
application will have minifigure entries. All of the rest of the minifigure parts
will be listed in the set inventories as parts used for creative play.
Cheers,

Yes--more delays to come. I just received my weekly message pushing the

| | Hi,
I have been away from Lego a long time and have a poor understanding of 9V and
12V trains. I do understand they run on electrified track and contain and internal
battery. If I were to purchase one - new/sealed or used - should I have concerns
that the battery may have leaked into its compartment in both cases? I was
looking at instructions for these trains and it seems the battery came built
in. I would imagine in any instance like this (and I have dealt with older battery
operated toys before so I have some experiences) the battery may leak/corrode
over time. Anything to disabuse me of this notion? Just trying to figure out
the best approach to purchase. Should I look for a used and confirmed work model?
|
I'm not old enough to remember the 12V system, but 9V trains for the most
part do not have batteries and instead power is supplied to the motor through
metal rails, similar to most real-life light rail systems. So, battery corrosion
is not so much of an issue as is the lifespan of the motors and keeping the rails
clean and free of debris so that the power supply to the motors is not interrupted.
At some point in the early 2000s, the U.S. government passed legislation restricting
toys that draw power from AC line voltage. Furthermore, metal rails are expensive
to produce (TLG actually never produced metal rails, they simply purchased large
spools from a third-party supplier and cut them to size). So, around the year
2006 lego started producing plastic rails and trains powered by onboard batteries.
The two train sets released in that year,
and
both feature a battery pack integrated into the frame of the locomotive, which
as far as I am aware is unique to these two sets. However, the battery pack itself
is powered by six AA batteries that can be removed to prevent corrosion. Starting
with the release of the 10194 Emerald Night in 2009, all trains have been powered
by removable battery packs powered by six AAA batteries.
The old Power Functions system also featured a rechargeable lithium-ion battery
pack for anyone willing to pay an extra $50/£43/€57, but the new Powered Up system
features only a AAA battery pack with no option to upgrade to rechargeable batteries
(which, in my experience, have much better performance along with eliminating
the problem of corrosion when the batteries are left in the locomotive for an
extended period of time).
If you are considering purchasing any used battery-powered train sets on BrickLink
it is worth asking the seller about the condition of the battery pack since it
is easy to forget to take the batteries out and end up with a corroded mess.
I hope that helps clear things up a bit. Play well.
