Wow. I'm speechless. These trains are almost as good as some of the
MOC's I've seen around here. And that's not bad!

My mouth just hit the floor!
They are wonderful.

Wow, those are really nice trains! Did you notice the SW cannons on the
older gray train in the middle? Puts most of the trains over the last few
years to shame!

That grey steamer is going to be a gold mine of dark grey parts.
Also, for Mike Stanley... (and other castle heads) did you see what the farmer
behind the white horse is holding in set 4479(1)?
1 - which begs a question, why 44xx? Are we completely out of 45xx slots? But
if they're using 44xx now, that may imply that they want to be able to issue
lots more sets over the years.
Is 44xx a basically unused area? Pause doesn't give an easy way to do blocks of
number searches I don't think, or does it?

Do tell (in .geek perhaps?)

Indeed, and train doors and windows! Blue, red, white. Gosh, my credit cards
are going to melt again. : ) Excuse me for being a naive trainhead here, but
with this digital system, you will be able to operate the points and things
with a PC? That would be really sweet. Also, those partial track sets, what
are those for?

Maybe to differentiate from the 9V non-digital, perhaps?

I wish it was in .geek, but I don't think I have any marketable skills in
computers outside of rudimentary Network Admin until I get my classes in,
and my AutoCad skills, etc. No, it is my LEGO business endeavor that I have
been working on over the past few months. More details soon! : )

I had someone here at the office translate part of it for me and it mentions
that you can convert you old type engines to work with the new digital
system!! Excellent!

Yes... "engines", but not motors. That is, you'll have to find a hollow space
in your engine body somewhere for the DCC receiver module (that gray thing in
the picture with the power truck, Nr. 4468) and then replace your current power
truck (which remember, has no break point between rail delivered voltage and
the motor) with the new one.
I have significantly upwards of 50 power trucks or motors that are about to
become obsolete. But I don't care, much. Given the design of the old truck,
there was no way around it.
And I predict once the new powertruck is available for someone to open up and
inspect, there may be a brisk aftermarket in modifying old trucks to work the
new way, if it's even technically possible. I know I'd stand aside from my
purist stance and have it done to mine.
After all I have over 1000 USD just in power trucks to try to recover.

Perhaps it's because they *are* MOC's. I don't think this is real, why haven't
we found anything on www.lego.com?

I don't see the Starwars AAT and MTT on www.lego.com. Does that mean
they are MOC's as well?
In my experience, it is very rarely that we find information about new
sets at www.lego.com _first_. For example, most of the information
about the new 2000 sets first popped up in a catalogue which Kevin
Loch scanned (bless him), not on www.lego.com. (Some of the
information also appeared from various unofficial sources ahead of
that, but it is probably best not mentioned.)
We'll have to wait and see if these are real sets, drafts for real
sets, or MOC's. (This does not apply for those of you who have
already made up your minds, of course.)
