Hey all, I saw a caboose in service the other day. A GP-something or other (sorry I am such a bad/lazy rail spotter) was pulling a caboose and three box cars. The caboose was tucked in between the engine and the box cars. GP-{caboose}-{box car}-{box (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes and no. You have to file down some plastic on the inside of the 12v electrified rails to get them to snap onto the 9v tracks. Also, the wheels on the 12v trains knock against the 9v power supply bricks, and can eventually knock the 9v (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hmmmm. Can the 12v power rails be fitted into 9v track sections? If so, you could have a 9v & a 12v train running concurrently (except if you wanta do something silly like points!) ROSCO (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

Hi there! I just have a quick question. I'm going to incorporate Trains into my Town and I know that the track for 12V is different than the track for 9V. My question is, would 12V trains still FIT on the 9V track? They don't have to be powered (I (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

The Engine looks great I love the detail put into the train are great. I like the way the front of the engine is angled. It makes it look a lot more intimidating. Good work. Evan Riskedahl (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
