Amen.

When LEGO decides to "invest" again in 9volt and maybe make new tracks,
etc., I'll start regaining some interest.  Until then, I'm persuing other
themes of interest with more passion that trains.



The idea of Kadee couplers for Lego trains is a fantastic idea. This the only
short coming of Lego trains. You can't shunt them. I've ben trying
unsuccessfully to design a alternate coupler from Lego parts but no luck. I
would equip every piece of Lego train equipment I have with Kadess if possible.
I hope that if the Kadee makes them they make them available through local hobby
shops and not just through Lego Shop at Home
SPACE!
