The really old ie blue track 4.5V used the old battery box, with the lever on top, rather than on the lower side. Train sets number 116, 120 and 127 (is the same as 116) use the battery box I believe you are refering to. The design for the coal (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

I wonder if anyone could help me. Did they all have the dedicated cab with three holes for the batteries or did any use the 4.5v battery box with the lever switch ? I have motorised a 7715 with a 4.5 volt motor and wonder if there is a design for (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
