We kept all our instructions in a folder, some of ours are very messed up/ripped from when we left them loose but we tried to have a good sort out a few years back to make some of the sets and managed to tape a lot back, so would definitely recommend keeping the instructions save if you have any. <br /><br />Who knows you're Grandkids could be playing with this train in many years to come! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084831697775817170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-47172414656584482192012-07-05T07:32:25.002+01:002012-07-05T07:32:25.002+01:00I've got the separate battery carriage and a c...I've got the separate battery carriage and a couple of electrical bits, but no instructions and I think there are bits missing.

I did sort out the pieces a bit today and I found it easier to make things when the pieces were sorted, but it was a bit of a faff to put them away again, and perhaps hunting through is part of the fun.Jennifer Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135607034769804251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-15953765359499469372012-07-04T20:49:32.048+01:002012-07-04T20:49:32.048+01:00I am very much on the mix-it-all-up side.

No faffing around picking up a thousand little pieces. Mixing them up is good. My friend's boy has the 'lego ideas book' and he loves muddling up sets to make other things. If you try to keep the sets seperate you'll have a lifetime of pain trying to put them back together when they do get muddled.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117249594444297964noreply@blogger.com
