A possible solution could be soldering a wire on the metal track rail. If
you turn a rail upside down, you'll see small gaps with bended metal lips.
You can solder there a wire. Let the wire come out on the bottom side of the
rail and bend it there directly towards the other rail side. So assure the
nessesarry gap between the rail bottom side and the top of the Hanging
Train. Soldering wires on the 9V track can be easely done, something that
can't be done with the 12V track system.
