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.
