While searching for gifts for my wife (she loves the harry potter stuff) I found the following set. (URL) know if this is a 9V compatible set, or anything else about the set? Looking at the picture it does not seem that a train engine is in either (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'll have to admit that I didn't really care about LEGO going DCC for awhile, I figured it would be cool, but didn't care one way or the other. But once I played with Tom Cook's DCC trains at Brickfest I was sold on the idea! Now when I run my (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)
