message: I've added an image that I took at the NTS this year.  I've got several other photos from the layout if anyone wants to see them. slambo 19:09, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
I have a bunch as well, from that show and others, since I've been active with LEGO, and LEGO trains for some time now. Troll througy my brickshelf account: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=lar and if you see any you like I'd be happy to GFDL/CC them to Commons. In fact, the image Slambo uploaded has 2 of my train models in it!  ++Lar: t/c 12:23, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: What about the old space monorail set, from the late 80's-early 90's? Is it compatible? 85.226.122.227 02:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The 4.5V era, due to its simplicity, is forward-compatible with all LEGO and non-LEGO tracks of the same gauge. This bears mentioning. 163.41.138.2 04:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I remember the 4.5 motor had a 2 pin socket on the top to receive the (very-thin) 2 core wire from the battery box and an additional pair of the same on the 4x2 "ledges" that protruded from the front and rear - the secret to the latter was that you could attach a special 2x4 block on the bottom of the ledge which contained a bottom mounted push switch that would interrupt the connection from the additional socket to the motor when it was pressed so that the latter would stop at a signal placed at the join between two sections of rail. There were also some 2x1 blocks that had a notch at the bottom on the longer sides to allow the battery wire to be passed from a hand-held (or the massive 3x "C"-cell plus reversing switch could be clipped onto the the rest of the lego construct for "hands-free" use) battery-box into an enclosure that would otherwise completely surround the motor.

message: I removed the text about using 12V conductor rails on 9V and RC track sections.
:As the fundamental geometry of straight and curved pieces has never changed, it is also possible to lay 12V conductor rails between the running rails of 9V and RC track sections - although again problems will be encountered at points and crossovers.
This only works for straight sections. For curves this won't work because the studs on top of the sleepers of the 9V or RC track interfere with the underside structure of the 12V conductorrails. This counts both for the blue and gray 12V conductor rails.

message: Currently, LEGO Trains are in limbo. Only three kits are available. Two in city and one in expert. The city ones are on their way out. So should we move it to discontinued? Green Shy Guy 54 (talk) 15:52, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Too early. I'd say it's still running, although on a lower presence than during its heyday. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 12:25, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
