Who makes people believe that old stuff is obsolete as soon as a successor
becomes available? To stay ontopic in this .trains area, I'm still using
blue tracks and motors and remote controled points (yes blue points!).
Still working beautifully.
The best change Lego ever made, making the old stuff obsolete is the change
from CA to ABS. Although I have built a house with CA bricks that doesn't
collapse when I breath or a fly lands on it :-)

A lot of people are still building their collection, and don't want supplies to
dwindle and the price of their hobby to go any higher than it already is.
That is to say, I don't want my mains trains to be obsolete, but you Mindstorms
lot can lump it, 'cos I like the look of the new ones! ;-) It would be nice if
they'd made the three motor limit obsolete though...
