True it doesn’t have instructions for adding a 9v motor, but its still a very nice set. Oh and speaking of 9v motors, I made conversions in MLCAD for 9v and 12v motors. One drall back though, it doesn’t allow for adding a power cable for a light since the buffer plates sit on top of the power connectors(for both motors). Enjoy and happy building!

NOW we DO have instructions for adding a 9v motor! When Lego S@H actually ships the Train set, the instructions, together with 2pcs 1x4 plate, are added! http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=797939

I also build my motor in the tender, but the designers at Lego made it very simple. Not a very nice solution in my opinion, a bit too simple....

AND, from yesterday on, the Set is available as a K10173, Extra’s: 3 packages 9V track, transformer and motor. Very expensive though: these add-ons cost more than € 100,- (!) extra. No way I would pay that......
