Hi, all, I know this might just be a shot in the blue sky, but anyway: Lego is most propably working on a new RCX system. At the Legofan site, there is a discussion about things that should be in a new RCX, and someone mentioned Bluetooth as a (...)

I was wondering if I could modify the new plastic track for use with the 9v train motors. As an experiment, I ran some adhesive backed metal tape on some of my old style plastic track.
