old points are the "old not as stiff kind" (that might help you date my
track). The grays do not match. Strictly speaking, I cannot say if the
mismatch is due to yellowing of the older track, but I don't think so.
This mismatch isn't that bad. The funny thing is that rails themselves
are a more noticeable mismatch. The new shinny rail is much shinnier
than my older somewhat oxidized rails.

Are you sure its not a batch of "Dark Stone Grey" rails now?
Josh

That was my point. The "new gray" has already made it into the train
track rails. Since there is no freshness date on LEGO, there is no
reason to move old stock to the front of the shelf; thus, there could
still be some "old gray" out there. However, if old gray rails still
exist, whether you get new or old gray rails is going to be a crap shoot.
