Interesting. That layout certainly makes use of 9v track, but those curves, I don't think are 9v at all. The train really zips around the layout. Good find, that train looks pretty damn sweet running around those wide curves, especially with banked track. Great find there, I shall do some research.

Looks like the boys from FreeLUG built themselves some custom track. They have been pumping big volts into the 9volt train motors for some time. Just listen to the sound they make. I wonder how many minutes you get from the motors before they burn out?

You are correct. It was FreeLUG.

A translation of the page can be found @

I couldn't find any mention of the modification to the track.

Is it Lego track?

In the video it appears to be metal rails clipped on somehow - very interesting.

These are self-made tracks by D. Huot.
They are designed to connect to regular Lego 9volt. Apparently they could only get their trains up to 30 kph before having to slow down for the tight Lego corners, so they made these.
Very cool.
