I'm new - from Pennsylvania.
« on: December 09, 2010, 17:46:26 »
Hello,
I am new to the group. I joined the Yahoo group and then found this group. I've been collecting since 2001 or 2002. My first love is the Victorian Mansion for my daughter. Purchased all the furniture and an extra floor.
I have recently purchased a huge lot and have found the piano and car (Victorian). I'm thrilled! I also purchased on the same day the Train Pennsylvania RR I think it is 4029. I have set up the train but having trouble connecting the coal car to the one behind it. I have 4 cars in total to connect but none of them will connect. They seem to sit lower than the coal car??? I noticed while setting it up last night that the front of the train comes off and it has a weight...or is this something else other than weight? Did it have working headlights at one time?
I'm in Central Pennsylvania.
Betsy

Hello Betsy,

Yes, it sounds like you do indeed have set 4029 (see attachment).

And, as Gis said,

 :welcome: to Playmofriends from South Carolina USA, Betsy! There are alot of members here that specialize in Playmobil Trains that will hopefully be able to assist you in solving your train dilemma's. If possible, can you take a picture of the coupling problem, & put it on the train collectors board for the specialists to look at?
