From my understanding, TLC’s goal is to have TWO train lines - one for

It’s difficiult to buy 9V train stuff now except from S@H. With the new play
train out, it will be impossible anywhere except S@H (Jake did say that track
would now be a lego.com item). And I definitely heard the 9V TLC train guy say,
in answer to the standard new track geometry question on Saturday morning, that
no new 9V stuff was in the works. My point is 9V is now the “hobby train” and
nothing (good) is happening with it.
