Hi JopieK,
I've got a lot of connectors, but the most of the cables are to short...
I'll check Mouser/Farnell..

Hi,
Have anyone used an unoriginal cable for the 12v train system?
Looking to buy many meters of cable, but I want it to look like the old, grey original one ...
Any ideas?

I got mine from here : http://www.aliexpres...7215109277.html
Ahhh, now I got it! I thought it was tracks with the 12V in the middle incorporated....
Anyway, A good alternative :-D

Very very nice!
Really like the incorporated monorail :-p
PS! On the runway it says "17" in one end, which mean it should say "35" in the other end ;-)
-
Thanx Xris and Edwin!
I really appreciate your comments and tips! I'll see what I incorporate of your comments into my layout ;-)
In general, I have to many tracks and train set and to little space :-(

That's very interesting!
Have you seen any "half length" straight?
Tried to find a place to buy without luck. Any links?
-
Thanx Xris for you feedback.
My goals are:
1. To use at least what I have listed
2. Have separate loops where the different train can stop, while other can pass
3. "Town" divided into different areas (see picture below)
4. HAVE FUN :-D
Here's a more detailed plan including "town" elements:
I have tried to divided the layout in 3 different zones:
1: Industrial area
2. Recreational area
3. Living/residence area
PS! I have access around the whole table (that's one of the reasons it's not bigger)...

Hi All,
I've got limited space and have tried different layouts to get most out of my table.
Here's the latest version:
The "outer" ring will be raised like it's done in 7777, that's why it's stops in the above picture...
Only have a few sets I really want to have in the layout:
* 7866 - Remote Controlled Road Crossing
* 7823 - Container Crane Depot
* 7834 - Level Crossing Manual
* Some train stations etc ;-)
Any comment's/idea?

At first i isolated the sections with just some tape, but that was not always a good isolation, so i decided to modify some section, bij cutting the iron rails in half. the best place to do this is in the middel of the iron rails. only cut deep enough so that the iron strip is in 2 but not the plastic.
OK, that's my initial idea as well...I'll try that!
You can use two interupted tracks, so you will not have short-circuit in the case your two loops are not at the same polarity
But when you want to run your train between the two loops, you need to have both transformers at the same polarity.
I'll have a look a this solution too!
PS: I hope you understand what I mean, English is not my native language
No worries! I perfectly understood you message ;-) (I'm not English either :-D)
You can refresh the signal with further connections on the far side of the loop:
Yupp, done that and it helped a little. Think I have to clean the tracks again, their very shiny, but still everything is a little bit "staccato". Any hints of ways to clean the track?

I'am using 12 volt rails myself and i have made some more connections with the same trafo just see to it that you connect the same wire on the same side and it while work fine. If you connect the wires the wrong way, no problem but the train wil not drive. If you are going to use more then 2 trains you wil need more power. I have split my tracks in 3 separate sections and every section has its own trafo, this way there are never more than 2 trains on a section. The big blue trafo with the studs on top have a better power output then the gray ones.
One thing I don't understand is how to make several isolated sections, but still be able to let the train go from one section to another (without modifying the original parts)... Any hints?

Very well! I'll try that :-D

Hi,
I've just found all my 12V lego stuff and put together a track which is about 15 meters (50 feet) long.
Since it's one "loop" with tracks I only use one transformer (7864). When the train reach the "far end" (longest distance from the transformer), it hardly move forward :-(
Have any of you tried this length of tracks before with any luck?
Tried to clean the tracks and the motor, but still the same problem.

12v cable "substitute"
in LEGO Train Tech
Posted
I found some "ribbon"cable that I will try.. looks little bit smaller, but for just the lights etc, it will probably work :-D
