I may be confused but I don’t think Jake ever offered to keep track around
in old grey. I speculate that’s beyond his power. What I believe he was
seeking was a list of things to get “one more run” in the old color, or at
the very most, to be available in both colors. But that latter option is, I
speculate, very expensive for the business to do.

Perhaps it’s all just a blur now (i.e. 263+ messages later), but he did
mention something to that effect in the very
message that started the whole
ruckus all over again:
JAKE: “A certain few parts that are crucial to keep in the old colors will
likely be created as service pack type items. An example of this would be
the 9v train track. I am interested in getting feedback from you (via this
thread) on which elements MUST be produced in the old colors for the long
term. (And no, you can’t say “the whole range of parts!” :) )”

I stand corrected, thanks.
I still don’t think that even if a part is “kept around for the long term” in
the old color, the implication is that you won’t see it in the new color.
This set has been planned for production for some time, surely. And elements
of it were probably produced before the thread started, probably.

To answer my own question, I saw this on the Lego club website:
http://boards.lego.com/default/topic.jsp?topicid=000f1f03eb69000000fae5c04d340da4
The company rep (sink21) says that “All new track (track produced as of January
2004), like all LEGO elements will be in the new colors.”
:-(
How long will the stock of old dark grey track last?
I notice there is no longer a very large pack of track (7x4515 + 5x4520 +
3x4531) on the LS@H website, so maybe stocks are running out :-(
