Hi All,
The picture below shows my attempt to connect RC-train rails and 1970’s blue
rails. The RC train can easily traverse the gap in the rails when it is
going straight (at least one straight segment on each side of the gap). When
it is going into or coming out of a curve, it sometimes derails.

I am glad to see that someone has perfected the idea of using the old 12 volt
track with the new R/C trains. I asked some of the train expert early on and
was told it would not work. I am glad that I held onto the old 12V gray
track and some of the blue.

I’d like to see where you asked that, I have 4 pieces to convert from 4.5V to 9V
track. (the old gray track being easy to use for non powered yards...works like
a charm, and fits at 8 wide between tracks...). I’ve had them at least 8 years
now, since I had them in use here when I was in my apartment.
