Anyway, I consider making some modding on the future train line parts is not
a solution because most of us don’t have the required skills.

I think this is a very important point. Most of us are quite resourceful and
some have come up with their own custom track parts. The problem is most of
us don’t have those skills and to purchase those parts on the second hand
market is very expensive.
Most of us need the product from LEGO to make things work at an affordable
price.

I’m not sure it’s safe to assume that LEGO would be the lowest cost provider of
9v items. What if they licensed it to another entity to reduce overhead,
marketing and production costs? I agree with your main point, however, that
private party modified parts are expensive and not readily available.

| (...) The MILLION dollar question is... Is there a 3rd Party Vendor even interested in making the 9V parts? TLC could offer the license (I doubt they will) but if there is no party interetsed then it is pointless. (18 years ago, 4-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
