Thanks for finding the images.
The wagon is much more complex that I expected. I had been looking at the Duplo
wagons, expecting to be like them or very much juniorised. Will 5-7 year olds be
able to build the wagons? I tell parents of young children that they will have
to keep rebuilding the trains or they will be left with just a pile of bricks
and no train.,
The track is exacly the same as the 9V track just without the metal parts.
The baseplate sensor is hard to make out. I hope that TLG have got it right, and
it will not end up like the intelligent train.

David,
Just curious, what did you think about the intelligent train?
My son really enjoyed playing with that. He probably would still be
playing with it if I wasn't so into 9v trains. He enjoyed making it toot
with the different bricks, and he _LOVED_ the gas station brick.
Two places where I thought it fell short were, (1) I wish that were a
correlation between the number of times it went around the track before
stopping for gas and how long the train was being filled with gas, and
(2) I was very annoyed that the only way to return the train to the
forward direction was to make the train go over the reverse direction
brick. I think the first point would have made the gas station brick a
bit more fun, but the second point was a real sore spot with me.

Sorry I don't have an Intelligent train, or even a Duplo train. I have just been
looking at them wondering if the Play Train would be like them. I think they
look great and new designs for 2005. The Intelligent train looked exciting but
TLG said it was too complex for young children.
