(...) Thanks for the update and the article post, Dan. I look forward to seeing still photos. I am interested to possibly see more close-ups (maybe?) of all the MOC rolling stock and locomotives at the event. What a huge stock yard...unbelievable (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, I think I mentioned that the gauge of all three tracks were the same; what I meant was that you cannot connect any of the 4.5 or 12 *to* 9 volt track; the binding methods are vastly different. -John (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes but you can run a 4.5 volt on a 9v track. You could even put 12v pickups in the middle of 9v track and run all three types ! Michael Pratt (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

Jumping in to add my voice to the 6 vs 8-wide thing. 8-wide has been fun. I think the biggest advantage is the extra interior room. Big cars look cool, but when you can open them up and have great interiors the coolness factor goes WAY up. The three (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
