New(Sealed)Maersk Train Set 102191 A *Deal* 4 U (168) The Official site detailed page states that: Motorize your Maersk train by adding LEGO Power Functions #8878 Rechargeable Battery Box, #8887 Transformer 10V DC, #8884 IR Receiver, #8879 IR Speed Remote Control and #88002 Train Motor!
Is it true that I need all of them (costs ~$150) to motorize the train, or can I omit some? The strict minimum you need for PF motorization is: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 you can catch it). Yet, it's a start. Now, as far as limited control goes, don't neglect the polarity switch! If you place it intelligently, it will be easier to stop your train. Or you could even mimic the old 4,5v system and have your train switch direction automatically at both ends of a track. Of course, for more serious control, yes, you'll need: PF IR speed remote control Note that all these elements (tracks, motor, battery box, IR receiver and remote) are also present in these trains: Red Cargo Train (red battery box)
So it may be worth to do the math and see if you're not better off just buying one of these. Sets are usually cheaper than standalone elements, and considering the extra parts you'll get, it may be a wiser investment. Not to mention that they may be easier to find in regular shops, which means maybe Christmas discounts and the like. And the design of these trains is quite good too. Of course, batteries are going to be a problem, so if you don't want to sink too much money in them you'd better use rechargeable batteries as fast as possible, or yes, switch to: 10VDC transofmer - or use a cheaper one As you can see, it can be a costly investment in the long run, but nothing forces you to buy it all in one step, especially the rechargeable battery and charger which are far from cheap. 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 don't think the other parts can be omitted, as...
A motor clearly is required to motorize something (#88002) A motor won't work without a battery (#8878) Something motorized that can't be controlled is senseless (#8879 & #8884) In addition, you could try to buy these 4 parts on Bricklink, which is a bit cheaper, so you end at ~$105 (+ ~$10 for a third party transformer) - this should save you $35 (~25%). 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 ReceiverNot cheap but not over the top. You'll also need tracks but even on a set you're going to need to spring for more tracks if you want it to be awesome.Browse other questions tagged power-functions trains set-modification or ask your own question.LEGO® → System → Trains → Maersk 10218 << 10219 >> 10220 $119.99 €119.99 £91.99 $199.99
10219 Maersk Container Train is an Exclusives Maersk Trains set released in 2011. It contains 1234 pieces to construct a Diesel Cargo Train and two Maersk container wagons with three containers and a lorry to transport them on. This is a follow up to the re-release of the Maersk container ship. It was designed by Pierre Normandin. The set was released world wide except for South Korea, on April 1, 2011. The main part of the train is a large blue non-motorized diesel-electric engine in the front. It is grey, blue, and white colour, and has the Maersk logo on both sides. It also has vents and other detailing on the roof and around it. The diesel engine is similar to the in the 10133 Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Locomotive. The sides can be opened up which reveals a highly detailed diesel/electric power engine. The back side has two signs that have the set number printed on them. The front (cab area) has a Maersk logo printed on it. The set also comes with two intermodal train cars.
They are, like the engine, blue, grey and white coloured. In the middle, there is a small space for the container to fit into. The containers can fit on the cars on the sides, double stacked or put on side ways from each other. One of the side pieces on the space for the container has Maersk written on it along with the logo. The cars can be added on to the engine by using the magnetic couplings on the front and back. The truck is grey, blue and white coloured, just like the other vehicles, which are the colours of the Maersk company. The truck itself has a cab in the front, along with mirrors and a small side way to get in. It has the logo on the roof of the cab. In the back is a way to connect the trailer to the truck. The trailer has a large space to store the container. There are three minifigures that come with the set. They have dark blue legs and torsos, and orange work vests. They also have blue hard hats. The first of them has a smiley face, second has a smiley face with glasses, and the third has a bearded face.
One of the workers also comes with a spanner. The set comes with three large Maersk containers. The first two are large and grey coloured. The third is white coloured with refrigeration detailing, such as gauges and control panels. All three of them have two opening doors in the back and Maersk written on the sides, along with the logo.Do not modify it. The highly-realistic Maersk diesel-electric freight train has arrived! A replica of the real engine that operated on the railroads of America, this Maersk train features exceptional detailing and functions, such as opening driver's cab, removable side panel revealing a detailed, 16-cylinder engine, and authentic Maersk branding. The model also includes 2 wagons and 3 containers with opening doors (1 with refrigeration detailing). The set also includes a shunter truck and detachable trailer for loading and offloading the containers. Add LEGO® Power Functions to motorize! Containers can be loaded side-by-side or stacked!
