my 7722 is 'converted' to 9v, simply by putting a 9v motor in place of the
4.5v motor.
You must think about the motor and the train set as separate items
Any motor (4.5v, 9v, or 12v) will go in any train.
After all, it is Lego - you are meant to build things!
The size of the motor units is pretty similar, so they are easy to swop
around
However, the 12v motor has 3 axles, but the 4.5 and 9v have only 2.
So some 12v trains will not look the same if you install a 9v motor because
the wheels will be different.
BUT, a simple way round this is to put the 9v motor somewhere else in the
train, not in the engine
Then use 3 sets of normal wheels (non-motorised) on the engine in place of
the 12v motor.
Hope this helps

I found some of 4.5v/12v sets or parts are very cheaper, I want to know if it is possible to use most of 4.5v/12v sets or parts in 9v system except electric system? (...)
