Just going to pop in here: The gauges are indeed the same, or close
enough. My 4.5v will run on 9v no prob (well, I swapped the motor with
the 9v, but the cars work just fine), and 9v cars will work on 4.5v
track. And I belive that 12v is just 4.5v with a third rail in the
middle for power. I've not seen any myself, but I'm sure that's how it
works. Just a little info there. Cya!
