(...) A 9V track solution... I have been wondering about the problem of the 9V track myself. As I understand it, putting the metal on the track is very expensive for LEGO. And for some other company to build metal track to this gauge, they would (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hey Barbara, Excellent work on the train. In some ways what I like about this even more than the wonderfully detailed engine is the presentation.
