Hi John,

I'm fine, although yesterday was the last day of my summer hollidays...

Since I do own much more 12V stuff than 9V (especially track), I will let this
engine be a 12V version. But I really think about painting a 9V motor in red.
Actually Lego has once released a few test motors in red and one of them got
into German eBay. Although it was heavy used it went far over 100 bucks, which
was too much for my budget.
With a red 9V motor it would be very easy to build a fitting second tender
(in 9V) for that engine, but in black: I think that wouldn't look too good.

Regards,

AFJ-Ben
