Well, I did see the 9V truck in the inventory. I think that’s a positive sign..

I thought that was the new track with out the metal rails.

That is new track. So I am a bit confused on that. Why have 9V motors but not track? My wild guess is that they will be available in boxes only.

The 9v motor looks non-powered to me. These may be Hobby Train parts only we’re seeing, with the overlapping coupling levers and magnets available to 9v and Hobby Train parts, or so it seems...

I was confused here as well, on closer inspection that definitely looks like all-plastic track. And the wheels on the motor have axle holes, so it’s definitely an battery-powered, IR-controlled motor. There’s no battery box or handheld controller available, so I’d treat the train fulfillment through LDD right now as a “work in progress.” It does get you going on digital models, though.
