Are old LEGO train tracks compatible?
There’s some compatibility between all the LEGO® train tracks. Over the years, we’ve never changed the width of the train tracks. The train cars from all earlier models will run on the new track and connect to the new trains.
How does LEGO train work?
It consists of a train motor, which receives power from a combination battery box and Bluetooth receiver, which receives its commands from either an included Bluetooth handheld remote, or from a control app on a Bluetooth enabled smart device. The new train motor, battery/receiver box, and handheld controller.

What kind of train system did the Grey era use?
The 4,5 V train system of the grey era is a further development of the 4,5 V system from the blue era. It meant to be a “starter drug” into the 12 V system. It was easy to replace the 4,5 V motor by a 12 V motor and also the rails could be reused by just adding the additional current-carrying middle track element.
Which is better a 9V or a 12V train?
Some people still prefer the 12V system because it included more remote controlled components than the later 9V or RC/PF systems. With later systems, the only thing that is easily remote controlled is the train itself, whereas the 12V system included remote controlled points, light, and decouplers.
What’s the difference between a 12V and a straight track train?
With later systems, the only thing that is easily remote controlled is the train itself, whereas the 12V system included remote controlled points, light, and decouplers. Each era included straight track, curved track, switches, and cross track.
How are the rails on a Lego train made?
The rails themselves were blue. Trains could be either pushed by hand along the track, powered via 3 batteries (4.5V system), or powered via a third conducting rail added to the center of the track (12V system). Here are what the conducting rails for the 12V system look like:
