I don't know why LEGO don't provide a voltage regulator. We pay a high price for
the power unit and you can get a voltage regulator for a few pounds/dollars. At
9V the train goes too fast at full speed on a normal length of track and a
normal train. Young children only know full speed.
Why do you not have the 4 tracks concentric with thr controllers in the 4
corners, then you would only need to dash around one table rather than around 4.
I get comments on trains such as "that's the one we went on our holidays" when
it's a Metroliner - we don't have them in the UK - but its good to see their
imagination.
