That seems a bit harsh. As a non-trainhead (organizing our clubs first train show for September) I thought 9V was SAVED. The save9vtrains website has not been updated in months the last time I looked. The Hobby Train (K10183) set came out and has been marketed as a 9V set. I have seen no “9V trains are dead!” messages here on LUGNET.

I guess it is still a concern so thanks for making sure it stays on the agenda. Getting your nose out of joint is a bit much though.

I’m not sure you should see a lack of information from TLG as confirmation of anything... I certainly wouldn’t.

I have noticed, in the last six months or so, that retailers like TRU that used to carry things on their website like train motors and track, are no longer carrying train motors and track. First the items were marked ‘sold out’ or ‘not available online’ but recently they’ve disappeared from the websites entirely. A quick google search shows the only place to buy a new LEGO 9v train motor through retail is Shop at Home.

I’m not sure what it all means, but I’m sure it means something.

(...) Stores used to carry LEGO train sets on shelves, too. However, I don't know if they were big sellers -- I got a 4561 Railway Express at Target for 50% off. TRU always has a good LEGO selection, but I haven't even seen any of the RC train sets (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
