Note: buying elements:
There is no one Bricklink shop that offers all the parts you need. It will definitely be necessary to place multiple orders from multiple shops. Possible sources of supply:
- Order individual parts directly from LEGO shop.lego.com/de-DE/Pick-a-Brick
- Dealer network with an English interface and the option to create a “wanted list” bricklink.com
- Dealer association with German interface brickscout.com
- The large and small locomotive wheels are not from LEGO but Big Ben Bricks from the USA.
- Small Bluetooth hub and mini motor from Circuitcubes.com from the USA.
For further information on the procurement of individual elements see Material Procurement.
