Yup, except that the train in that picture is not mine (I don't know who
owns the train in the picture)...
The trains in this picture are mine:

In the back (right side) of the picture you can see the "12V" train. The
funny thing is that it was able to pull more wagons (especially on grades)
than the 9V trains because the locomotive wheels have the rubber rims that
prevent it from slipping.
I'm in the process of modifying another 9V motor to power a 12V locomotive
since I really like 'looks' of the 12V motor and the ability to add moving
rods to it.
Oh and the credits really go to Brian 'RoyalTrain' Williams because his
train inspired me.
