Thanks all, this has been doing my head in. The last thing i wanted to do was go battery

Thanks for the response. is my understanding correct that if i use a buck converter, the motor will run fine then

Hi all, I love the 12v era and have a great track layout. I have been trying to find out what size motor fits into the casing so i can buy a 12v one. I have made some bogies with 12v pick ups but find that 1: the trains run in reverse 2: the motors stop. I think due to higher voltage and 3: the motors run a lot faster than the older 12v ones. to too good when having a few trains running and flying off around corners. Has anyone converted a 9v to a 12v and if so what kind of motor did you buy and where. Also i live in Australia so i may find sourcing parts a little difficult . Thanks Mark
