thanks very much for the prompt reply -> not collecting 12v but thought that maybe their remote switch track mechanism would be of help to operate my 9V tracks. tried some other solutions that are published on the net (i.e. 9v motors, power-functions etc.) but feel that they look all too 'bulcky'. anyone else 12v on 9v? thanks

i have some questions regarding the Train 12V Manual Switch Motor. there are two version sold on bricklink: ver 1: Electric, Train 12V Manual Switch Motor 4 x 8 x 1 2/3 ver 2: Electric, Train 12V Remote Control Switch Motor 4 x 8 x 1 2/3 my question: what is the difference besides the price (ver 1 go for USD2 while ver 2 go for 10 usd)? also the standard remote control is the Light Gray Electric, Train 12V Remote Control 8 x 10 with Switch Pattern. others like the Light Gray Electric, Train 12V Remote Control 8 x 10 with Level Crossing Pattern go for a much cheaper price. my question: - can any remote control be used to operate the switch motor? - does anybody remember the link wher it can be shown how o modify v9 switch tracks to use the manual swith motor? thanks for any help.

@all does anyboday know if the missing parts were forgotton in all limited edition packages or only in the first ones? i found two sealded limited packages at home where one has the missing parts attached and the other one does not. thanks for clarification. rgds

still available? - would be intersted - live in switzerland rgds

thank you very much for this hint - works perfectly. also tried with modification which goes better for the older V9 motors ... thanks again ... any other hints / suggestions around ...

Dear Eurobrick forum I am fairly new to the lego train world. I have a rail track with several swith tracks (incl double crossover). I am now looking for possible solution to manage / control them remotly through 9v motors. I've seen some solutions on the net however they were all very 'large' (six to eight studs long/wide). -> http://www.freelug.org/article.php3?id_article=186 are there any lighter versions / ideas / suggestion around? thanks for any comments
