James, Nice modifications. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to play with it at Brickfest, so I'm not certain what is different, but I do like the trend towards purity :) James J. Trobaugh <james@ngltc.org> wrote in message (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

| | 12v Trains
|
|
Since I decided to go the hard route and not go with 9v trains, how am I going to power them? (My primary reason for choosing 12v over 9v is the availability of remote points and accessories.) I believe Lego made a 12v transformer for 110 (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)

John Neal showed a really nice length of 4.5 track where he used 1x8 ties with 1 stud between them instead of 2x8 with 2 studs between them. It changed the entire look of the track! SteveB (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)

Is the blue 12v track compatible with the gray 12v track? What about the points (switches)? Also, as far as track geometry is concerned, is 12v track compatible with 9v track? I know the electrics are different. (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)
