The 8421 crane definitely uses the new
9V motor, and a new (apparently studless) battery box has appeared in some

LEGO has announced a converter available from LEGO Educational that will allow
old 9V motors and sensors to be used with NXT.

So while I agree things are looking bad for 9V trains, I think your conclusions
about 9V Technic (and other 9V generally) are a little off the mark.

I couldn't see anything good when Jake announced at BrickFest the introdution of the new "play train" system and the reclassification of the 9V train as the "hobby train". So far, there has not been a (...) (18 years ago, 27-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
