First I have to apologize to Dave for outbidding him. I hated doing that, but with the rest of my collection nearly complete, I had to get this set. As most of us know how rare this set is, I doubt that we'll ever see another one...with that said I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Set #720 was the first 12V set in 1969, years before the grey era starts (1980). So there are also 12V blue rails trainsets.

(...) Nope, for example set 725 is a blue rails 12V set and set 7722 is a grey rails 4.5V set. I guess the guide uses 'did the set ship with conducting pieces' as basic rule if a set is a 12V or a 4.5V set. By that rule all push-train sets (7710 for (...)

7834 is 12V since it has the conductor rails, but by removeing them them it becomes 4.5V. On the other hnad 7823 does have cunductor rails (in the middle), os it 4.5V. By added them it becomes 12V. Quite simple Sonnich Jennifer L. Boger (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
