I think there is a difference between TLG carrying on making and supplying parts
for 9v trains and going to the trouble to design and release sets.
From my own perspective, keeping me supplied with 9v train parts is 1000 times
more important than making train sets. I don't buy train sets. But I do buy
motors, wheelsets and track so I can continue building and adding to my local
LTC layout. It is the LTC layout that goes to public train shows and finally has
a positive effect on "the brand". I enjoy going to train shows, "the brand"
benefits as a side effect and is not the main reason I go to shows. Let's hope
that small degree of spin-off benefit is enough to cause TLG to continue selling
me the parts I need!
