|
| (...) Thank you for your promt answer! What is a step-up/step-down transformer? I am getting the transformer and tracks, but I guess I will use it on the 9V track as I have more tracks for 9V. I think I will try to use the light posts from the 12V (...) (25 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) TLG started 4.5v in 1966, then added 12v in 1969. 9v was 1991. That was 22 years at 12v (1991-1969), or 17 years if you only count 1969 to 1986 (the release year of 7839 Car Carrier Platform). (...) They made a pretty big deal about the (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

|
| Hi all. I've been lurking here for a few weeks, and I've got a doozy here. I've read a few posts where a few people spoke about the switch from 12V rails to the 9V system. I also figure that LEGO spent 12 years at 12V. So the question/speculation (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
