I finally repaired one of my Tyco Turbo trains that fried an armature.
I normally don't mess with the mag type cars too much.
But with enough playing around I replaced the motor with one from a running chassis. (You can't just switch the chassis. Turbo Trains use special chassis)
What a blast running two trains around the track.
And they wreck in a BIG way. :lol:
Now to go back & play with U-turn cars...

I agree, they are fun. All kinds of mayhem when there are 6 of them running at the same time.

Even just 4! (lotsa noise, too!) I love them!.....Now, if I can just figure out how to get a certain someone with a certain testshot turbo train to part with it......:jest:.....Hmmmmm

I have the black Penn train with a couple extra passenger cars on it. Looks cool snaking through curvy sections of a track. Just had to remove a traction magnet to compensate for the extra strain.

:wave: Dear All;

I find it fun to add another center car in the middle to make it a Four car train !
