So I guess my 7835 has no actual use in my Legocity unless I buy a new set of train that works on this type of rail. Also, how come there's a sign saying 7835 is a 4.5V set on my instruction? I'm really confused in this issue. Larry Pieniazek wrote (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 7835 is 12V. The track is not compatible since it has plastic outer rails. To use it, buy a box of straight track (4515?) and rebuild it using 9V track. Since this crossing is manually operated, you'll be all set. Or, buy a new one and sell (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)
