Yes, but the wheels look of course totally different.

Yes, can be done that way, but you need one extra 7865 motor for that.

My method is not 100% satisfieing, but I have done conversions for a 9V motor
to run it on 12V track.

Felsir has used a (formerly damaged) hollow motor to pick up 9V and transfer it
to a 12V motor. For sure that would work the other way round too. You could
simply use the set 1151 sliding contacts from the 70ies for that purpose.

| Is the 12v train motor physically the same size and shape as the 9v motor? I'm hoping that converting a 9v engine to a 12v is simply a matter of substitution. I have a 12v layout and want to add a Metroliner (among others) to it. (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)
