9V Lego trains are pretty cool, but I would love to see Lego introduce
electric switching rails (or "points" in UK :) ) and electric lighting
etc like they had when 12V trains were around.

I remember to have seen some solutions to that problem on Lugnet. I
think there was both one which used one of the small red 9V motors and
one which used pneumatics.

Play well,

You can do this with the electric motors, and the best ones are the
newer geared ones as they are faster.

You can find numerous plans and ways of disguising them on brickshelf.com
