| | Re: Switching from 4,5V to 9V

| (...) I have built 2. Take a piece of straight 9v track, and cut it in 1/2. Take 2 rails from the 4.5V track, and cut them in 2. (I use a dremel (the metal on the 9v track) and a minature Hacksaw (the plastic) to do my cutting). Take 1 sleeper, a (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: EMD F7 Mt. Newman Mining Company

The only downside I can see is the coupler attached to the frame, which tends to cause problems (...) (19 years ago, 13-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
