If it is just the track, like we think, it is fairly simple to just pop
the 9V tracks and lay the 4.5 or 12V equivalents. I've done this
several times in the other direction, pulling out 4.5V and 12V track and
putting in the current 9V ones.
The only time I had a problem was with the 7834 12V Manual Crossing.
This set had a integrated ramp and track bed piece. I had to remove it
and replace with 6x4 extremely low slopes, which were a different size
than the original. Other than that, it still looks good.
