Good question for those, like me, without much of a train collection (yet). I
guess I could be considered "lucky" that I don't have the investment in track
and accessories but I cannot even do much more than a really big oval with what
I have.
I hope they answer your question quickly: will the new system pull 8-wide
trains? It makes a big difference in my LEGO-budgeting for the next year ie:
dump every dollar possible into acquiring 9V track and accessories or jump ship
now and start buying the cheaper plastic track (which I ASSUME will remain the
platform for L-Gauge.)
Of course I am really confused since I am about to go to NWBrickCon in the U.S.
where I get a 25-30% discount just for crossing the border and was planning on
spending several hundred dollars at the LEGO Store! Am I going to buy nothing
but track and accessories now?

| I'm really afraid of what will become of this decision. What to do now? Stock up on any remaining 9volt stuff I can get? Switch back to 6-wide trains if these new motors aren't strong enough to pull 8-wides? Cross my fingers and hope this decision (...) (17 years ago, 1-Oct-07, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.trains)
