| (...) Running wires between cars is probably not as tough as getting the lead from the motor to the car or engine. Although LEGO made a train headlamp kit, the wire coming off the motor connector tended to get in the way, especially on turns. We (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| Chris brings home a good point. 9V is what it is, probably because of the powered rails. No other LEGO Train system has that. However, I do beleive that one day very soon (if not already) battery technology will allow more power than can be safely (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.trains)
