I can’t recall if the yellow freight train had those , I haven’t used ours in years
Nein, das tut er nicht. Hier wird eine andere Technologie verwendet, die Teile sind nicht austauschbar. The "new" RC-control operates on a completely different basis and can't be interchanged.

We had a crazy "friend" who would purchase very expensive but completely useless & unnecessary items that had been reduced in price with the justification that, since they were on sale, he was "saving money."

I'd go with bringing back the Spanish soldiers and give them a galleon filled with treasure, providing the first big soldier ship in the theme and a target for the pirates.Solid idea, are kids still exposed to pirate tales so that they have some understanding of the theme?
Who'd still have a smaller ship and could get a nice new island more like the System X one that's easier to store. Maybe with a nice hut that's also a bit of a tavern.
