Thanks for everybody's input.
I have made a decision.
I am going to buy as many of the 12V trains as I can afford. (I might even buy
some to sell on eBay so I can afford more!)
I can then always convert to 9V later on (if they are still available?).
&
I am a train builder rather than a collector (I still need to collect pieces
to build with).
I am going to be buying some football team busses next week (for the train
windows)
I will be selling 'White Train windows, with blue glass' at my Brickbay site.
They will be US$1.50 each.
What do you think of this price.
