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.

Hi
Havent been here for a long time...
I used this in 2000 or 2001 here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=3927 Especially see:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=39222
I have some broken pieces i wanted to convert 2 a mixed track - the idea was to
have a layout with 2 “contries” connected by a railwaybridge, with 9V tracks
with 12V inlets - reflecting different systems in the world (e.g. the border at
Lithuania and Poland, where 1435 and 1524 mm tracks meet or where catenary
voltages changes). The idea is to have a 9V track, cut a 12V rail in half and
mix them up, so the lenght is correct. Then the 12V inlets can be added. By that
both trains can operate in each others area as long as track goes.
I newer got the time to finish it (nor the money to have the layout somewhere)
