Of course there's nothing which says he can't run 4.5v trains on the 9v
track since they're battery powered (hm, interesting idea, have a 4.5v
passenger train running around the track, run your 9v freight train
switching etc. You better not get in the way of the passenger train...)
p.s. I'd be interested in a small amount of 4.5v track (there are a
variety of non-operational uses for it).
