If you would like to see more people needlessly complaining I’m sure that
can be arranged. Perhaps Save9VTrains should have a message on the front
page requesting that people kick up a fuss regularly.
|
Actually while I would not support “needlessly complaining” if it is still
an issue, and Save9VTrains is the HQ of the effort to actually do something
about it, then yes they should have some sort of updates on a regular basis.
For instance they could just answer simple questions like: What was the last
“action” they took? Did they get any results? What is the next planned
action? Who do they nominate to represent trains in the next round of
ambassadors?
I would not expect new information posted daily, weekly or maybe even
monthly but the very least should be quarterly.

I can’t cite numbers, but I know that my wife became an AFOL after being
inspired by a SCLTC demonstration. She had always been a model railroad fan,
never ran one, but seeing the integration of training, set building, and
technic trestle bridges was more than she could resist. Since the RC trains
at least currently have severe load problems, it seems 9volt is still the
only way to go for a serious Lego model train enthusiast. She and I would
both feel better with an official acknowledgement from TLG that they intend
to continue supporting the format.

I find a modicum of comfort in knowing that even LEGO acknowledges that the RC
trains have load problems:
http://www.lego.com/eng/service/faqs.asp?section=ConsumerService-FAQ-Products&catid=E9ED19A2-1ED8-4A3A-9D1D-9F636FCE86E8&faqid=21278#21278
And that they recommend the RC trains only run the number of wagons the sets
come with (2 on the passenger, 4 on the cargo train). That same page used to
say to run more wagons to switch to 9v, but that seems to have since been
removed.
