Thanks Bryan..
The frieght train looks nice.
The passanger train just one word: YUK! (jr. junk...)
I know you and perhaps others may not know this but I’ll ask anyways.

“town stuff” to go with the new trains that is “worth it” (read NOT jr. stuff).
But we will have to wait to see. I’m NOT holding my breath any more for them.
Priorities in life have changed and the brick has been in the closet for about 1

know but that is life... Guess I have a decision to make soon. Buy the 9V
track I need for my “dream layout” or restart with the new track. Hum... =/
Does anyone know if any 3rd party vendors might be able to convert the new track
to 9v track or who will be able to make the 9v motors? Are any 3rd party
vendoes even on the horizon?
Thanks, AHui
