There's still no definite answer. LEGO might not be willing to commit
themselves. Think about it - if they said they'll supply 9V track forever, they
can't keep that promise. If they say they'll make it for 2 more years, there'll
be uproar that that's not long enough. What can they say? The only thing they
could say is that they'll make it whilst there's still a profit to be made from
it. How much are you going to be buying?
As for new units, I don't think there's any point asking for that as there's no
great need. For 9V you only need 5 units - straights, curves, points, motor and
regulator. Everything else (and all future train sets) are compatible - just
plug in your choice of motor.
I'm just disappointed there's no stand-alone version of the IR unit. Kids
absolutely love little 0-4-0 and 0-6-0 engines, and this setup rules them out.
