As for what to tell people at shows: just tell them that there’ll be a new
train line sometime within the next year or so and that IR and powered track
train motors will be compatible with it.

Well, yes, that’s what we’ve been doing...for a few years now. Always looking
for something more concrete we can tell them though - release dates, types of
sets, etc. Sometimes people see our setup at a show and want to head over to
our Twin Cities Lego store on the way home to pick up a train set, which has
caused a certain amount of frustration during this hiatus.
Reading between the lines in the first article you linked to, it sounds like
Tormod was hinting at a Summer 2009 release, and something late summer would
certainly make sense if they want to have the new trains as a big part of next
year’s holiday catalog. I think my brain has been loosely remembering having
read that article some time ago, which is why I’ve been tending to say “later in
2009” to people at shows.
Hopefully, they’ll be willing to give us a few more details soon, even if it’s
just a definite *month* for release and some vagueries about the number of train
sets we’ll see released by Xmas 2009. Thanks again for poking them for us.
