There are 3 ways to connect the track with the transformer.
- in the blue era (1969 - 1979) there was a special cable with an 2x4 plate
that fitted under the electric midle track part.

- in the beginning of the the grey era the transfomer came with the 4-plugs
cable and each center conductor has had holes to put 2 plugs in.
- in the late grey era (from 7735/45 on?) the trains sets came with a conductor
track piece, that had a cable fixed to its bottom (only available as curved
track). At the end of the cable there was a wide plug, wich fitted into the
7864 contacts. (All the conductors from that time on had no holes any longer).

Perhaps there was an intermediate stage. I do know that (...) (23 years ago, 6-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)

| Over the past few years, I have acquired a reasonable collection of 12V train parts including a transformer, several motors, and quite a bit of track. Unfortunately, I have not had an opportunity to see any 12V trains up close. As a result, I have (...) (23 years ago, 6-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)
