Really? I don’t see the connection here, Eric. Why would TLG equate the
success of this set with an endorsement of the 9 volt system? I’d like to
think that there is some definitive way to express this sentiment, but I
don’t see how in this case, or any case, except the flat out purchasing of
9volt track, motors, and transformers, and, of course, sets that contain
those particular elements. And even then, they might have already made the
decision to discontinue 9volt anyway, and would be grateful for the help
reducing excess inventory of discontinued product.

Eric might have more info on this than I do, but from what I can tell, TLG is
marketing this set as part of the 9v system, so purchasing this set would show
an interest in that system. I know last night when I hit the Shop at Home site
to check out this set, the cross-sells shown below the main product were for 9v
track, and not for the RC products. I took this as a good sign.
