Hi all!
At the TSL event in Berlin there came up rumors the todays 9V train line would
be shut down. And that there would come up a new train system with RC driven
trains.
I would guess, if that would come true, the trains would run on pure plastic
track and would be driven by battery power. Further track radius' would be quite
queap to realize. But the whole system would be somewhat primitive*) like todays
playmobil trains or like Duplo trains are. In Germany trains are called
"Eisenbahn" (=steel way). So this change would be the end of the LEGO
Eisenbahn....
Its only rumors, but lego changed the train system 2 times so far (every 10+
years - and 9V is now 15 years on market - time for a change?).
Kind Regards,
Ben
*) but offer lots of room for frontal crashes at highest speed and reversing
loops...

| OK so I called again to get the skinny on the train motor "blowout"... As it turns out they simply renumbered the product, as Rafe referred to in his post, and in order to remove the old SKU from their system they had to sell thru them. She assured (...) (19 years ago, 3-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)
