Has anyone tried to automate a point by directly laying a worm (screw) gear on the grey plastic (removing the yellow switch handle)? It seems that that'd work well. I suppose that you'd have to worry about stopping, but if they are switched via a (...) (25 years ago, 27-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

I've tried some of the 12V accesories with a 9V regulator, and most work OK--the lights certainly did. I think the exception was the motorized stuff (the automatic crossing, 7866); only one of the gates would work as I recall. Also, I don't think (...) (25 years ago, 26-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

I am a Technic addict, whose son recently became WILD with exitement over the trains. We recently found some 12V accessories such as lights. I was wondering if they work with the "9-12V" Speed Regulator (it actually says 9 to 12V)? If not, how does (...) (25 years ago, 26-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
