Thanks for your help!
I know that Sonnich says that you can mix the track. Well, nothing
personal, but I really do not like the looks of the 12V track. 9V looks
very realistic in my opinion. So when you say that the non-electrical
wheels will roll without any problems, I assume the electrical ones will
fit/roll without a problem at all. Do 12V trains have the same bases as 9V
trains (with the holes)? Have you seen anyone convert a 12V train into a 9V
train? Are the batteries/motors a lot different? Do the batteries connect
to the base a lot differently? Can I put a 9V battery/wheels into say, a 7740?
I apologize for any stupid questions! :-)
