I was introduced to Playmobil RC trains when my son was gifted his first set by my parents on his 4th birthday. Having myself played with the original brass track version as a child it brought back a lot of memories and I could immediately see the benefits of remote control as well as the new plastic tracks aimed at a younger age group.

But I was disappointed to find that even the newer RC version is considered vintage with spare parts hard, and in some cases impossible to find. My first project? The essential 7829 battery holder without which the train simply doesnt run.

As I work through my list of missing or no longer manufactured Playmobil parts, they will become available for purchase in my store.

Everything I make is enthusiastically tested by my three children. If its not good enough for my kids, its not good enough for yours.
