    Hi Henk & team,
    I thought about how to combine 9V and remote control as well. Yet, I would refrain from modifying & soldering my precious 9V motors, so there must be either a custom 9V motor with power pickup (which I think would be a rather big deal to produce) or a solution with power pickup and motor separated.
    If there was a custom power pickup, it could be connected that a controller which fuels e.g. a PF motor. If the metal track is set to a constant 9V, this would in theory allow to get rid of the annoying battery boxes as well – or, if one would include a custom battery, the train could even run on 9V and RC tracks.
    Do you have any thoughts on that and is there a controller version which would be most suited for such trials?
    Thanks a lot!

    The “old”, i.e. cable-based systems (9V/12V) supply a voltage to the whole track they are connected with by using a transformer. You can adjust the speed with the transformer. You can as well put several trains on your track, but they will all run with the same direction and speed (well, more or less: motors get the same power, but heavier trains of course go slower than light ones…).

    Ich hatte mal überlegt, mir ein oder zwei Modelle von BlueBrixx rauszusuchen (die Anleitungen gibts ja kostenlos, wenn man sich registriert hat) und die Steine i.W. von GoBricks zu ordern. So hätte man die Qualität der “schönen” Modelle von BlueBrixx mit hoher Steinequalität verbunden – um den “Preis” einiger Arbeit und vlt. etwas höherer Kosten als bei BlueBrixx, v.A. wenn man noch einzelne Teile von Bricklink o.Ä. bräuchte.
    Hat das schonmal jemand ausprobiert oder hätte jemand Lust, gemeinsam so einen Versuch zu starten?
