2. After years
of waiting patiently for new track geometry and expansion and always being
told that its expensive and will take time, we get new track we dont
want: All plastic.

...and a committment to L Gauge (and Im saying L Gauge rather than 9v). As
I mentioned at BF, were not replacing the current system (like we have in
the past when switching from 4.5 > 12v or 12v > 9v), were stretching it
to include additional components.

Just to clarify Jake, will you be referring to both (Play and Hobby) as L
gauge? That would make sense to me as they are all the same gauge. But it
might confuse real train modellers - when we want to display at a train
show with our L gauge layout, they might think (when Play Trains are
launched) that we mean Play Trains, and turn up their noses (even more than
they do now).

Actually, thats a very good point. I was using L Gauge to refer to anything
that uses the track gauge (distance between rails, obviously) currently used
for both the Play and Hobby trains.
But I dont pretend to think that I should be defining the usage of L Gauge -
Id actually turn this question back on the community... what do yall think?

Id say L-Gauge defines the spacing of the track. If you want to distinguish
between metal or plastic track then use some other terminology. Dont confuse
the issue when some people have just started making headway into traditional
model railway groups.
