(...) Can we be sure trains are a "money-making theme" in the longer-term? The fact that much of the newer offerings can only really be had via S@H and that these sets contain no real new parts makes me wonder what the long term plans for trains (...)

(...) And that is your opinion. The rumor was a change to the track, not the discontinuation of the entire line. It could happen. Suppose LEGO came out with a 9V multi-channel IR controlled train motor (Manas? Spybotics?) that didn't require powered (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

I don't think LEGO® would leave a money-making theme such as trains hang high and dry, it would be foolish...especially after almost 40 years of continuous train production. This is nothing more than a vicious, nasty rumour. -Harvey (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

Has anyone ordered the K1376 or the 10075 and done an inventory on it? The Lugnet listing for 10075 has no picture, and Peeron has no inventory. If I'm going to pay $7 for 25 pieces, I DEFINITELY want to know what each and every piece is before (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.lego.direct)
