| | | Thanks, I knew something now, but is it possible to use old tracks? I mean 4.5v or 12v tracks? Then how about the wide and height of train? I asked such problems as I still have any train sets or parts until now! Br Zhengrong (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | Zhengrong- It will not be possible to use the 4.5 volt or 12 volt track with the 9 volt system. In the 4.5 volt track, the rails are plastic and the train run on batteries. In the 12 volt system, there is a metal strip which attaches down the middle (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | (...) Yes but you can run a 4.5 volt on a 9v track. You could even put 12v pickups in the middle of 9v track and run all three types ! Michael Pratt (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | (...) Yes, I think I mentioned that the gauge of all three tracks were the same; what I meant was that you cannot connect any of the 4.5 or 12 *to* 9 volt track; the binding methods are vastly different. -John (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | (...) Actually, without modification you cannot put the 12v power rails in the middle of the 9v track. I tried it. I had to file down some plastic off the inside of the 12v power rails so they would connect to the 9v rails. The problem is that the (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
