Is there a thread for converting PF switches/points to 9v; specifically around any bridging that needs be done to keep the 9v integrity; I've added copper tape to the X crossover but the trains stop dead on them [guessing as power isn't going across the gaps] and so want to know how those with more knowledge than me overcome that? Small drill hole and wire under the track, with copper tape holding the poking ends down to the rail? Theres fantastic stuff out there to cha get geometric, repair cables etc but not finding anything specifically for getting power across points (on converted track)

How do you get on? I'm at the point now where I've taken the back off (a 9v switch) to see the insides and try and figure out where I might need tape (to convert a PF switch to 9V)

Do you put wire on the underside to carry voltage across the gaps or is this bridged with the travel of the train?

Apologies for the thread necromancy; I was recently trying to modify some RC switch track into 9V switch track using copper tape (I know to use aluminium for better working); I drilled out the plastic rivets and opened the underside of the 9v switch to see what, if any, inner workings I'd need to replicate for the RC track conversion - experienced modders; I don't believe I need(ed) to do anything as the 'conversion is all done 'top-side', on the rail; with tape? - my issue is that now I can't seem to get the conductive switchblades on the underside of the 9v to reliably slide under the contacts (like I imagine it did prior) to 'lock' the switchblade - it will sort of half-switch the track but not 'lock' the route. Will try and get pictures - any advice appreciated as I have done all my straights and curves but the switches still have my confused

For those in the UK; Aldi have got some DIY Specialbuys coming up that may be of interest at £9.99ea; https://www.aldi.co.uk/workzone-accessory-drawers/p/832342777515400

Storage; I've scaled through this thread i've been volun-tasked with organising my collection; In truth my sets suffered from repeated "high velocity unscheduled rapid dissassembly" courtesy of my delightful kids, SO I now have the task we all love; sorting/organising my (now) parts.. My current 'solution' is a a mix of multi-drawer organisers, small/medium/large size clear boxes (gotta love Temu), a hard christmas bauble case. and several Stanley Organisers (both 'standard' and 'FatMax Deep Pro'). As I'm UK based and finding the multidrawer organiser cabinets (I would hope you know the type actually quite therapeutic to label and organise, I'm wonder if any of my UK based breathen can direct me to the best value organiser cabinets/cases? A side note for this thread, If not already attempted/suggested; Can i float the idea of a similar thread but with country/region specific suppliers/shops listed? I see several US/Canada store references (Lowes, Target, Home Depot etc), a few UK outlets mentioned (B&Q, Screwfix, The Range etc) and region specific instances of Amazon. The aim of such a thread would be a single place that newbies to sorting can combine with this thread, and have an informed idea of where to pick up such solutions. Back on point, UK fellows; best place to get part organiser multidrawer cabinets - I already use Screwfix/Toolstation/CEF for Stanley cases (Electrician by trade) as they tend to be best value for the aforementoned Stanley organisers.. Many thanks.

I have the set built and currently in my cabinet and I'm trying to work on adding a "Ripper" on the back, just need to figure attachment then Ripper design, anyone tried

I'm looking at making this myself, how does the PF motor sit under the battery box? I'm looking at that first hurdle
