Hi I'm new to both this newsgroup and Lego train. Recently I bought a 4559 train and I have an old 7835 level crossing. I'm just wondering if they work with each other and if not, how can I work ith the 7835 set so that the rail will actually work (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 7835 is 12V. The track is not compatible since it has plastic outer rails. To use it, buy a box of straight track (4515?) and rebuild it using 9V track. Since this crossing is manually operated, you'll be all set. Or, buy a new one and sell (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

So I guess my 7835 has no actual use in my Legocity unless I buy a new set of train that works on this type of rail. Also, how come there's a sign saying 7835 is a 4.5V set on my instruction? I'm really confused in this issue. Larry Pieniazek wrote (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

According to my site... (URL) and 7835 are both maunual 7866 is remote control (not automatic, it has no sensors) 7834 and 7866 are 12V because they come with the centre 12V conductor rails, 7835 does not, so without modification it only works with (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Since all the track is the same gauge, it can all be easily replaced to work with the other systems. The only exception that I know of is the original Level Crossing piece, because the rails were individually laid in. I have 7835, and the 9v (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Not at all. Sorry if I left that impression. The conversion to lay 9V track where the current track lies is extremely easy. It's basically a case of removing the track and replacing it. It is dimensionally exactly the same except for the (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Due to a shortage of 12V motors, I eventually made all my locomotives 9V. But I have set up the 7866 remote controlled crossing on my layout, as well as a more modern looking level crossing, without the swinging arms, but with the blinking (...) (26 years ago, 18-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)
