Neither do mine. - But they don't move on the so-called 12V
track either. :)

So am I (but then we can't discuss :).

Makes sense.

The stuff we mostly use for 9V trains. Actually I like to
use 2nd and 3rd generation power tracks together. Then all
my engines (4.5V, 9V, and 12V) can run in the same place
(there _are_ certain problems with this).

Play well,
