All, I'm sure you'll come across Reinard's posting in rec.toys.lego, but I wanted to make sure it showed up here, as well. Reinard announced the creation of his LEGO-related web-site, and, "boy-howdy", does he have some good model creations: from (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) As Larry says, the 12V system was not terribly reliable and was really an afterthought to the original 4.5V battery trains. Also it was not compatible with the new 9V stuff that came out in the late 80's with the very cool conducting studs. (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

I do not think LEGO will be switching rail style or the voltage (the gauge is the same). While the switch in voltage is confusing, the switch in rail style makes alot of sense. I have a 12V train and a couple of 9V trains. The 12V trains are (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Interesting question. (welcome, by the way!) I would speculate that TLG is not likely to change any time soon, because 9V works reliably and looks good. The reason for the change away from 12V was that it did not work very well, and the (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all. I've been lurking here for a few weeks, and I've got a doozy here. I've read a few posts where a few people spoke about the switch from 12V rails to the 9V system. I also figure that LEGO spent 12 years at 12V. So the question/speculation (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yeah, that's no fun, is it.
