My, how things come back around in circles... :)

BTW, did you see the incredible job rearranging and reclarifying all of the
Trains stuff that he did?

Yes. Very nice work. But to be pedantic, there is at least one set that
is arguably neither 4.5v nor 12v that had to be classified as one or the
other under this scheme.
Which one is left as an exercise to the reader.

As far as I'm concerned, all 4.5V sets ARE 12V sets, without motors and
center rails, so it would be hard for this to bother me.  Early sets had
different number ranges, though, so they were easier to classify.
