I agree - I'll probably attach a 1x1 plate to each of my few 9V pieces -
I have the track of 2 x 4559, 4555 and 4533 (Train Wash), so I'll be in
the minority.

OK, shall we do an inventory of what we have so we can at least design
something.
Is anyone bringing any Legacy track (4.5V and 12V)? Anyway - I want to
try to build 2 loops of 12V track but I need an extra controller and
motor.
