Title: Question about 4010
Post by: Giorginetto on October 04, 2011, 13:14:36
Hello all

I wonder the 4010 RC train has two motors , can these two RC motors be swapped with the old proper motors ...  ??? ??? ??? ???. I reckon a modified 4010 will have a lot of power with two motor blocks...  :love: :love:

Hi,

the #4010 has only one motor.
It´s no big deal to swap this motor.

actually all the RC-train have 1 engine...only the 4052 has 2 electric engine. Even the 4029 train set (4031 US version) has 1 engine....I had one....

Really ???????????? I though these sets would be identical to the 4052 , so they dont have two motors just one ????  I find that rather strange and i am actrually surprised !!!! that makes the 4052 ever more rare i suppose !!!!!

look at the Reply #23
click on the "4029 integro3.jpg" picture...you will see that there is no connector between the tender and the track, whereas you can see one connector below the "engine"

If I would have a #4029 I would do not touch it, I´ve never seen such a set live with my eyes.
I guess it´s really rare...
Last auction on ebay was 600 USD.......

If I want to have a 2-engine steam loco, I would buy a #4052.

it was I did with my 4029....you just have to remove the screws  then the wheels  and to put the motor train Playmobil #7550. You do not damage the tender.....it takes less than 5 minutes
