(...) I have wanted to do this ever since modeling the TGV. It is tough enough to get a few orange pieces. Even tougher to get enough orange for the TGV that I built. Then, to want to build a second orange TGV! I'm sure some LEGO fans have many more (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

Zhengrong- It will not be possible to use the 4.5 volt or 12 volt track with the 9 volt system. In the 4.5 volt track, the rails are plastic and the train run on batteries. In the 12 volt system, there is a metal strip which attaches down the middle (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hi James, I am following your inavational process!! That's really great putting two locomotives nose-to-nose together! And the challenge is enormous with the narrow LEGO tracks. Should I start with an ICE 2 (using a similar coupling technology) (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks, I knew something now, but is it possible to use old tracks? I mean 4.5v or 12v tracks? Then how about the wide and height of train? I asked such problems as I still have any train sets or parts until now! Br Zhengrong (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

Yes you can use most of you rolling stock on both kind of tracks. You may have some problems with 12V wheels on 9V tracks, but I have solved that by using bismuth in bricks (I will have some more about that on my homepage in 2 weeks). Lego bricks (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

I know at the moment, 9v is the standard and RCA and new products will use 9v, too. I found some of 4.5v/12v sets or parts are very cheaper, I want to know if it is possible to use most of 4.5v/12v sets or parts in 9v system except electric system? (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
