My real concern is that a new battery system will not appeal to AFOLs. If
AFOLs continue to show up to train shows with what will then be legacy
product, then the potential value of AFOLs at train shows to TLG will
diminish greatly. I can just imagine talking to visitors at shows saying
“Nope, you can’t go out and buy these trains anymore. This is just a display
of what you used to be able to do.”

This already happens -- monorail is a popular item in train displays, and
monorail is definitely a legacy product. I haven’t heard of any displays of
4.5V/12V setups, but I wouldn’t be surprised by them.

Frank Filz hosted a 12 volt layout within our (PNLTC) layout at Beaverton Mall
in 2002.
The PNLTC website (http://www.pnltc.org) is down at the moment, but when it
comes back up, please check it out (Under Galleries, See “Beaverton Mall”).
