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)

I think there were also some grey 4.5V rails (someone else will know for sure), but if they're blue they're definitely 4.5V ROSCO Jennifer L.

(...) 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 (...)

(...) Set #720 was the first 12V set in 1969, years before the grey era starts (1980). So there are also 12V blue rails trainsets. As I posted in another note - the only thing that makes rails 4.5V or 12V is the conducting piece, a rails piece (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Whichever subtree structure is chosen, the problem remains that some sets could be in more than one category (bogieplates or the train-ideabook for example), so I guess there is still need for a non-voltage specific category. If for (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
