Man, you guys at the GMLTC must know someone. I remember when I was all excited
about the DUPLO trains being a good sign and in would jump Mr. Neigh-Saying
8-Wide to spread doom and gloom, but even he changed his tune a week or two ago
(sorry to lazy to look for the message).

I guess I should start saving in anticipation of the good things to come? (Had
trouble deciding whether I should use a period or a question mark there.)

I have an idea. LEGO should look up all LUGNET.trains contributors and E-mail us
personalized  brochures to announce the new line...if there is one. :) (second

They have people that used to work for LEGO amongst them, so I'd say
Ya they know someone :^)

To be honest, I don't think any AFOL has specific knowledge of the future of LEGO
trains....yet;-)  But I do know this: that rumors of the demise LEGO trains have
been greatly exaggerated;-)  I don't even know if they are keeping the 9 volt
system, but I know that they will continue on in some form.  At this point, though,
that's about *all* I know.

One thing about the train line,  they don't seem to follow the 'normal
rules' for themes.   It usually has less sets in the theme and the
theme runs longer than the other themes do.

Darn tooting;-)  Actually, the trains theme is the only continuous running line
since the 60's (save for town)

  New version of the theme
or not, I have enough train stuff to do something with it eventually.
