I have been buying 9v straight track regularly from the local Lego Store and
the three boxes I bought two weeks ago have new dark blay. All of the earlier
boxes were old dark grey. I assume they had run out of boxed straight track
and had more made. I think that they had a very large amount made (several
years supply) at a time so I find this encouraging.

Bruce,
I noticed that on the S@H website, nearly everything involving curved tracks is
presently out of stock, implying to me that more curved tracks are presently
being made as well. Tracks are at this link:
http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Leaf.aspx?cn=181&d=328
I’m not sure how many tracks are made at a time, so I don’t know what effect
this has on keeping 9V trains around. But, like you, I hope that they stay
around.
Incidentally, I received a reply from LEGO regarding a 9V version of the new
Cargo Train. I posted most of this reply on the S9VT website. I was told that
their corporate policy prohibits them from accepting outside ideas for new
products and that hence, a 9V version of the train would be impossible. Still,
I appreciate the support of the 9V community in the effort to get such a train
and hope that the letter to LEGO helped to show what interest there is in the 9V
train line.
