(...) A possible solution could be soldering a wire on the metal track rail. If you turn a rail upside down, you'll see small gaps with bended metal lips. You can solder there a wire. Let the wire come out on the bottom side of the rail and bend it (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

I've seen the Wuppertahnbahn diorama too, it's great! What's the URL again? BTW Have you considered using just the power rails from the 12v system for the upper track. This way you get the power, the single rail look, yet the double rail geometry (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I wonder if putting the power connectors on switches (turnouts) on the curved outer leg of an unused spur would help at all? Arrange your trackage so that it's the straight leg (where there is no turnout stand to interfere) that is used by the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yeah, powering the train was a primary design target. I went with 9v track as most readily available power source for me. However, I haven't solved the clearance issue of the 9v track power connectors sticking out and interfering with the car (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If there was some neat way to attach a coupler to the axle, that'd be the best place, but probably above the track is next best. (...) Nah, I think you want to make the car above the track as small as possible, otherwise you may as well just (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Cool. So you didn't want to go the Wuppertahlbahn ((URL) route using a single rail? I guess it makes powering the thing easier... (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)
