on the 9V motor. Does anyone has experience on this?
While I'm thinking about it, it would be great to have a 'conducting
wheelset': metal wheels to pick up current from the rails with a standard
connector on top of it. Great for powering a 12V motor and perfect for adding
lights in passenger coaches! Hmm...
