(...) TLG started 4.5v in 1966, then added 12v in 1969. 9v was 1991. That was 22 years at 12v (1991-1969), or 17 years if you only count 1969 to 1986 (the release year of 7839 Car Carrier Platform). (...) They made a pretty big deal about the (...) (26 years ago, 31-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)

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)
