I was at the Lego Outlet at Potomac Mills over the weekend. They had train
track in stock.

Some of the stock had updated packaging with the "World City" logo on it.
The set numbers are the same, just new packaging.

I did not buy any to compare, but I would suspect that the new boxes have
the new gray.

   I just compared a switch track that that I just recieved from S@H
(happy birthday to me) to an old switch track that I have had for a few
years. First, I now know what people mean by the new stiffer points. My
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.

(...) I was at Potomac Mills yesterday and purchased a set of straight in the new box art to compare color. It is still the original dk.gray. Nate (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
