A number of people have made 9v-12v convertor cables. It's pretty simple, you take a 12v cable, unscrew the power connector clip from one end, then cut a 9V cable, strip the wires and connect the 12v clip. It does require sacrificing some wires but once you make one, you use it to power everything because the 12v cables allow piggybacking connections. 12v bulbs at 9v are quite a bit brighter than at 4.5v and at the lowered voltage should last a while. If that's not of interest to you, I'd offer Milton Train Works trade credit toward something for them, depending on what you were looking to get.

I'm pretty sure all my non-9V wiring is 4.5V, but that doesn't matter, it's essentially the same wiring as 12V (which is what allowed me to hook up the lamps to test them). Between the two wires I (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I've acquired these in some recent auctions and have no good way to power them. I just have the lamp modules, no wires. All lamps have been tested as working by using a 4.5v battery box (which lights them pretty dimly). They're all in pretty decent (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
