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.
