Thank you for the photograph of the opened gray motorized points box, Ben. What a task to open that box! Which sides of the gray box were glued together? - the long sides or the short sides? Thanks. later, James Mathis (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Dear James (and whoever might be interested in this also), I took the point motor from Ludo and opened it again (was hardly glued now). And I took a few pictures to put the best of them on my homepage here: (URL) direct picture link here: (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

For a 7864 12v train speed regulator: Went down to Radio Shack yesterday and bought a 40W 110v to 220v step up transformer. So far as I can tell 40W is just fine for running the LEGO 12v trains and accessories. The German plug on the 7864 goes (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

Ben, Thanks. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. However, I would not want you to re-open a repaired points motor that currently works and risk damaging the box. Perhaps Ludo would be willing to speak to this again? I am (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.trains)
