Changes... NONE!!  I have too much invested in 9v trains to convert to RC and
plastic track.  It is my belief that who can say in the next few years that TLG
won't switch to another train line.  They have gone from pre-- to 4.5v, to 12v,
9v and now RC.  Nope, when the current 9v system is discontinued, I will run my
9v trains until my motors burn out and cannot be replaced and then I will be
done with trains.
