Actually, the 9v cables allow piggybacking connections too. :-) There are
some older 12v cables, though, that don't have piggybacking holes, and are a
bit shorter I believe these were used with some lighting sets for train
headlamps. These are usually short length connections.

I think I've got some here, too. I've got to sort my collection out,
shipping wouldn't cost me that much though, they were a part of a lighting
kit for 12v trains. Basically, they were streetlamps. It would be a bit
hard to imagine 9v streetlamps built the same way, though. I imagine
whoever made the 9v system hadn't allowed for the fact that people would
want to light their buildings internally. The 9v lamps are a bit odd to
mount on an inside roof, they might be placed on a wall, but they still
don't appear that realistic compared to 12v lights.
