My red diesel engine is now online:

It features a modified 9V motor, which you can read about here:

That seems cool but I have to ask, why not just use the standard trick of
cutting a 9V connector in half and putting 12V pins on one end? That seems a
lot less work and also less invasive of a more expensive part.

The idea is usuful, because I run my trains on both 9V and 12V, so I needed
way which is easy and fast. I could probably have a way with both 12V
connectors and a 9V connector, but that would not be so easy.

Also, this was a first attempt for my dual-power system. I am thinking about
having one engine which runs on both 12V and 9V; this was the first "test".
My intetion is to have 2 (or 3) connectors (in and out; out means powering
the motor).
So I have been thinking of having 2 12V connectors on 2 motors.

This is something II will try in autum.
