Thats my question. I have been offered an LGB tram & Trailer but I think LGB is 18V and Bachmann is 12V and I'm curious if the LGB will run on 12V....The Bachmann would run hot at 18V or burn out....
Presumably you recharged the battery with a Traeger set??? He was another German and was also on a list and claimed to be an Aussie....korm kormsen said:decades ago (before we had electricity) i operated my (then) two stainzes from a 12 volt car battery.

LGB's/ Marklin's motors are designed to run at 0-24 volts. At 18 volts and more, the locos are going very fast indeed. For a tram's speeds, a range of 9-12 volts is almost certainly all you need, so go ahead without a moment's worry. If the tram is running too slow for you, remove any pickup skates and it will magically run faster as you've removed the major source of rolling resistance.

Please walk me through this non-electric car battery.
